ICE CREAMS and calorie is a calorie and Haha Apenis - all three threads merged.

[Marty Champions]

and to alex 23 yes a calorie is a calorie if i were going to prescribe you a diet here is what it would be

am morning 1/2 cup of grape juice around 100 calories high potassium
am coffee with chocolate syrup milk         100-150 calories cocolate syrup has potassium

handfull of peanuts                                100-150 calories excellent minerals and potassium

krispy kreme doughnut                            200 calories be sure to chug water after or you will eat them all

any fast food double cheesburger             500 calories varies


this is all you need and PLENTY of water

you could probably add an extra serving or 2 of grape juice and still be fine. most potent antioxidant drink!

[nycbull]

Who the hell who eat an entire diet of Big macs,ice cream,candy etc etc ??
Im not talking about calories or macronutrients, im talking about taste,smell and quality of foods!
What ever happend to making your meals from beautyful meat,fresh veggies,extra virgin olive oil..fresh un-processed foods! Where is the joy of cooking up a REAL meal gone ?
Only acne faced teenagers would call a sloppy Big Mac and an ice cream for a meal.

YES, Americans have no idea what good food is. As the first generations of immigrants begin to die off, we see a return to horrible eating habits started by middle america. European immigrants did so much to promote good food in American unfortunatley, laziness and gluttony has become the new culture. Young people today do not know what fresh food tastes like and many have never had a meal lmade from scratch.

It is a sad state we are in. New Yorkers are obsessed over non European foods and they are getting fatter and unhealthier by the minute. Most of the crap they eat is not fresh loaded with salt and preservatives, but it taste like McDonalds food and it costs 40 dollars a plate so it must be good.

I think we need to start migrating more Italian, German and French immigrants at once!!!!!

The thing is, people have no appreciation for food and they do not understand it.  The "plain Chicken Breast, plain rice" diets have ruined cooking also.   I think everyone should watch the Food Network and try to make at least one thing a day to familiarize themselves.

Funny thing is, they won`t.  Too scared. Mostly out of ignorance.

YES it is the same kind of resistance you see in religious conformists when they begin to realize they have been sold a false bill of goods. They are much happier to live in ignorance than to face betrayal, and worse yet thinking for themselves. Or in this case cooking for themselves.

Betrayal is one of the most difficult things a person faces as they mature. It happens to all of us. Our fathers and mothers inevitably betray us because they raised us to be them. Its natural and will all experience it in varying degrees and then solve it when we start thinking for ourselves. But its funny because when it comes to religion or mainstream culture people are so afraid to admit betrayal. Its like they can believe their parents betrayed them but they can't except that complete strangers have betrayed them. Its weird but once you accept it, process it and start 'raising' yourself you are truly free.

[The Enigma]

Ignorance is rife. hahahhah

Americans are idiots.  I`m moving.

You promise?

[valhalla]

YES, Americans have no idea what good food is. As the first generations of immigrants begin to die off, we see a return to horrible eating habits started by middle America. European immigrants did so much to promote good food in American unfortunately, laziness and gluttony has become the new culture. Young people today do not know what fresh food tastes like and many have never had a meal lamed from scratch.

It is a sad state we are in. New Yorkers are obsessed over non European foods and they are getting fatter and unhealthier by the minute. Most of the crap they eat is not fresh loaded with salt and preservatives, but it taste like McDonald's food and it costs 40 dollars a plate so it must be good.

I think we need to start migrating more Italian, German and French immigrants at once!!!!!

Agreed!..but then again I'm from Europe 
I love the way people eat in the Mediterranean countries. Fresh seafood,tomatos,brocolli,lamb,pig etc. With a focus on quality and tradition not mass production of horrible chemical foods! Eating is about enjoying life,and for me a McD meal or a bag of candy makes me feel like shit with the horrible texture,scent and taste..all the processed sugar sure don΄t help either.

Eat some real food for god sake!!

[MCWAY]

You also Believe in Angels, Miracles, the earth is less than 10,000 years old and that it was created in a few days.


You are nobody to take serious since you reject ALL Science and Scientific Law that is PROVEN.

As the saying goes, "If the facts don't match the theory, change the facts"

In other words, this wouldn't be the first time scientists have said one thing, only to have their findings refuted in real-life applications.

Remember: Scientists claimed that a human being couldn't run a mile in under 4 minutes. Obviously, someone forgot to tell Roger Bannister that, 3 minutes and 59.4 seconds after he finished his mile-long run.

Here is the Pizza Jezebelle and I made the other night.  It contained Lump Crab Meat, Portabello Mushrooms, Gruyere cheese, and Truffle Oil drizzled on top with Parmigiano Reggiano.

You and Jizzumsmell should try this tonight.  It will solve so many of your problems

[Marty Champions]

sounds fuckin good! i like red barons frozen pizza they got like 5 cheeses!

[The True Adonis]

Those are good too!  Palermo's are good for frozen pizza...the Greek one.

Happy New Year to all.

Today begins the first day to building a better body and the official start of destroying Anssi Manninen, the Muscular Development "(gym)Science Editior". I will be eating EVERY single meal at MCDONALD`S to achieve this rather simple feat.

I am saving all of the receipts, keeping a journal and doing some video as well. This project should be very interesting as you will see me mantain a physique at 6 percent and then eventually to an incredible 3 percent and lower. All by eating MCDONALD`S.

NO SUPPLEMENTS
NO DRUGS
NO CARDIO

ALL MCDONALD`S! and of course some weight training.

Follow along with me. Join me. Get in the best shape of your life, eating the greatest, most nutritious, and most economical food available to date.

You won`t regret it.

I take it you didn`t watch the slanderous lies that is called "SuperSizeME".

Any rate,

You will see me eat MCDONALD`S 6-8 months straight and have a physique you could only dream of.

I will go down to 3 percent bodyfat and have more muscle mass than ever as well.

Watch and enjoy.

What happened to that experiment of yours where you were going to eat at McDonald's for three months straight, every meal?

We conclude that a calorie is a calorie. From a purely thermodynamic point of view, this is clear because the human body or, indeed, any living organism cannot create or destroy energy but can only convert energy from one form to another. In comparing energy balance between dietary treatments, however, it must be remembered that the units of dietary energy are metabolizable energy and not gross energy. This is perhaps unfortunate because metabolizable energy is much more difficult to determine than is gross energy, because the Atwater factors used in calculating metabolizable energy are not exact. As such, our food tables are not perfect, and small errors are associated with their use.

In addition, we concede that the substitution of one macronutrient for another has been shown in some studies to have a statistically significant effect on the expenditure half of the energy balance equation. This has been observed most often for high-protein diets. Evidence indicates, however, that the difference in energy expenditure is small and can potentially account for less than one-third of the differences in weight loss that have been reported between high-protein or low-carbohydrate diets and high-carbohydrate or low-fat diets. As such, a calorie is a calorie. Further research is needed to identify the mechanisms that result in greater weight loss with one diet than with another.
