checking out the nutritional info labels on all their foods and obsessing over every little gram of protein? there was just a jackass on the Nutrition board who actually researched the calorie info on Egg Nog after i started a thread about it for fcuks sake, how gay can you be?

I think I can point you to one person that can answer that question.

Sometimes I think half the people here would slit their wrists from guilt if they ever drank even a single beer at some point in their lives. Live a little, people.

Its still better than those that don't look at labels and shove chocolate chip cookies one after another down their already double chinned face.

I agree. I also agree with Squadfather. I live in the middle of these two extremes.

Strange, wasn't this YOUR post earlier today? - "it has 8 grams of protein and 20 grams of carbs per 8 ounces, so drink a mere 24 ounces and you've got yourself 25 grams of high quality protein and 60 grams of simple carbs."

Sounds like you pay attention to nutritional info to me. And if you're going to go on a nutritional board and make an claim that egg nog is an effective post work out food, expect someone to actually take a look at whether there is a nutritionally-sound basis for your claim. I wasn't the only one that thought your post was less than convincing.

I can understand if your getting ready for a show, but not year round that just plain sucks...

I don't go nuts over labels, but it's nice to know how much sodium or saturated fat is in something you eat. That is if you care what you look like. One of the best laws the FDA ever had. Takes the guesswork out of trying to eat clean. Not every little gram of whatever, who cares but when something has 4000 mils of sodium, that's more than you should eat in a day when trying to eat healthy.

You are constantly wrong. You are the biggest supplement industry guy here and a huge reason why those companies get rich selling crap.

Yeah, I'm horrible because I take a multi-vitamin. I got it. You might benefit from Prozac if that doesn't violate your "whole foods" religion.

By the way, it takes alot of guts to show your face after Loco handed you your ass for all to see on the Nutrition Board.

http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=111990.25

Let's summarize, you were defending a nutritional expert who was exposed as a fraud on "quackwatch" while Loco was pointing to research by a Nobel Prize winner.

Good job!

Maybe you should learn to read as I never defended any nutritional guru in that thread.

Here is Locos’ post to you “xpac2" in response to your sarcastic “cool I get it now”

“You get what exactly?

Judith DeCarva, the woman who says "do NOT take vitamin supplements" is a fraud.

Linus Pauling, the man who says "Do take lots of cheap vitamin C pills throughout the day for better health" is a well known American quantum chemist and biochemist, and the only person to win two unshared Nobel prizes. The man lived 93 years.”

So while I agree that your lame sarcasm is barely a defense of the quack, it certainly reads as one nevertheless and Loco took your comment as did I.

Now go take that Prozac . . .

How many times do you have to look at the nutritional label of steak and rice before you remember what's in it?

I don't think you're talking about bodybuilders.
I think you're talking about "club pumpers" who want to know how much fat is in their lean cuisine today.

You make a great point there Squad, but ya know some people have nothing better to do with their time. They enjoy making a hurricane in a soup bowl (or would that be shaker cup?). Unless you're a couple of weeks out from a national level or pro show, who cares what's in the egg nog. Just drink a cup if you want to. Most of us that are past the beginner stage know what's up anyway, and don't have to read everything for content...
