The deal with white bread

[fyxgel2]

Alright folks, now I'm going to be upfront and honest:

I'm not exactly your most disciplined eater. I like to find ways to 'sorta do a good job' but without trying too hard. I'm just trying to maintain right now, but I dont bother counting calories or any of that bullshit. I'm probably around 15% bodyfat or maybe a lil more. not really looking to cut, just maintain. PS: I'm not lifting right now, but I do about 30 minutes of cardio every day.

Anyways, how much will it kill me if say, I go to some type of fast food restaurant once a day, and get 2 hamburgers or something? Like, I figured the biggest problem is the white bread that they have with the fast food buns,

But I guess what I want to know is: how much will this kill me? If I dont bother eating anything fried, or having any pop when I'm out, will fast food really kill me?
When I'm at home I try to eat pretty healthy. I avoid fatty stuff. I eat whole grain breads. But of course I will always treat myself to something sweet every now and then too, (like a couple cookies at a gas station or something)

How much worse is the white bread on hamburger buns, vs. the whole wheat bread u can get at the store?

In real terms, how much fatter is it going to make me (like if I had 2 mcdonalds doublestack hamburgers once a day)

PS: yea I know, I would pack my own lunch, but I'm lazy, and I like having my food prepared for me, and tasty, and cheap. McDs does a good job at that, albeit maybe not the healthiest.

A bit more discipline my friend.....

Sounds like you really don't care. If you're not willing to pack your lunch on do any of the other "bullshit" then you're not going to hear what you want. Might as well just eat what you want.

If you can't live without Mc D's, order a Chicken McGrill or two, sans mayo, ask for some plastic silverware, and eat the thing bunless. Or get a chicken salad with GRILLED chicken. (Not the deep fryed, breaded crap). Of course, making the stuff yourself/taking it with you is the smartest option, It takes me 10 minutes tops to cook 2 grilled chicken breasts on the Foreman in the morning...I throw it on while I'm eating breakfast, wrap it in foil, throw it in the cooler with some veggies, and leave the house.

you dont have a prayer..............

If you're going to McDonald's at least ditch the bread and eat the hamburgers plain or get a chicken salad. The better and more fiscally prudent thing to do is actually put forth a small effort and pack some food in a small cooler. A little effort goes a long way when dieting!

much much much easier said than done

yea, actually I really see no point in even buying the hamburger if I'm not going to eat the bun along with it. (cuz that would be a ripoff cost wise) If this is that bad for me then maybe packing a lunch is my only option.

Well, you say I'm not going to hear 'what I want', and what do you mean by that? how bad is this for me? how much fatter will this make me? any kind of specific answer would help. Honestly it doesnt matter me if you tell me what I dont want to hear, because I want to hear the truth, no matter how much it sucks to hear.

No one has still answered my original question. I already know which route is the better route. But thats not what I'm asking, I'm asking "how bad" is the current route that I'm on.

How much damage can a few high GI carbs do, on a daily basis?

What dont I have a prayer at? what will happen to me if I choose to eat this way?

Meeting your goals, bro..............you have no desire, no motivation......it's fine to eat like that be lazy, etc.) but you won't reach the physique you are looking for...........

 

[deltreefitness]

He hasn't really said what physique he was looking for. He just says he wants to maintain. For a short answer as to "How much damage can a few high GI carbs do, on a daily basis?"

How much is "a few"? You're not willing to count calories so I doubt you're going to count your carbs and their sources. So who knows?? It's no only the carbs that are bad in your McD's diet either. There are bad fats, high sodium,other simple carbs, and probably lots of artificial ingredients.

Maybe you should go out and watch the movie "Supersize Me"

it's not your fault, the western world was reared on white bread BUT you must make changes.

we have been disillusioned for so long about what is 'good for us', simply put, you will not die without it. cut it out. it's complete trash for your body. same thing as getting a bag of flour and pouring it down your throat.

you know what, do that instaed. see how enjoyable it is. and come back and tell us how much you enjoy your pb and j sandwich lol.
