This thread is getting way to out of hand.......partially my fault. Here's the scoop kid. Will you get fat from eating white bread instead of wheat, no. Will you get fat from eating white rice instead of brown? No....will you get fat from eating one candy bar or one McD. sandwich a day? No. It's all a matter of caloric intake vs. output. Plain and simple. If your cal in are < cals out, you'll lose weight. I realize you arent talking about a competition diet, and that's where the fine tuning comes into play. But to lead a normal lifestyle, eat some good foods, burns some fuel, enjoy your mcd's, but do it all in moderation.......I'll bet you one thing. Eat cleanly, get on a great workout routine, and take care of yourself for 1 month and you'll puke at the smell of fast food..........

Calories in > calories out. I wish it were that simple! What about the the nutritional value of those calories? I can get 3000 cals a day from white table sugar.

If anyone would eat just sugar they'll likely die of malnutrition.
as far as my goals. Right now all I really care to do is stay where I am, at around 15% bodyfat. I would like to stay this way even as I get older, like 40/50 years old.
15% is healthy, heck I just want to make sure I dont get fatter as I age. (my youth years and fast metabolism are running out) PS: I'm 20 years old btw.
Its funny, because at home I do eat whole wheat bread, because I know thats better for you. I also try to eat sliced lean turkey, and oatmeal, and fruit. But honestly I have a sweat tooth too, and I will eat surgary cereal really easily.
I got a lot I need to work on, I definately wouldnt mind being leaner than 15% bodyfat, I just dont know where the willpower is going to come from, aside from 'within'.
I guess it'd be cool to see some studies, where to see whether the choice of bread effects how many calories someone will ingest throughout their day, or what kind of effect it has on people's weight, etc.
But my guess is such studies probably dont exist. Especially if I havent been directed to any by now.

You're 20 now. You can probably eat whatever the heck you want and be ok at the moment (although 15% isn't terribly low for a guy...it falls in the "ok" range). Eating McD's every day won't help you stay where you're at as you get older and your metabolism slows down. You've got to get into good eating habits NOW and keep them. If you need your burgers, fine. Have a burger ONCE a week. Eat clean the rest of the time. After a few weeks of clean dieting, you won't even want McD's any more, and just seeing the golden arches will make you want to yack.

In the past when I've ate clean for awhile, I can totally relate to this. once you get into a habit of it, you really dont care for fast food stuff anymore.
About the only problem is that for some reason I can never seem to make myself think 'yack' when it comes to sweets. I will always like them it seems like, and always be a slave to them. Oh well, life has to be that way, or else I'd be ripped, and its not fair for me to be ripped without having to pay much of a cost.
