With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

Is eating at a fast food restaurant (I normally get a bigger hamburger for protein and water) bad for me? Because I don't eat fries or anything. P.S. I don't eat it EVERYDAY, just 2 to 3 times a week after I workout. -------------- If Satan ever tries to remind you of your past, just tell him of his future!

If you feel the need to have a fast food fix I'd suggest a chicken burger as a compromise. Still not brilliant, but a lot better than the burgers if you're going to eat something like that at all.

It's better than the burger, but after reading the ingredients that were added to it, I cut it out. There is glucose, which is a form of sugar that turns into fat if we don't burn it off, and there is some hydrogenated crap also. Best is to do those breasts yourself and bring them with you. -------------- You can walk to anywhere you want, it only takes time. Ivan Montreal Canada (aka SpongeBob Square Pants to some!)

arondaballer Posts: 1,054 Joined: 2003/06/14	2003/06/22, 12:47 AM I would say you should eat lots of protein after a workout(but not fast food LOL), that's what I've always been told....protein is key in your muscle fibers rebuilding and getting bigger after you have worked out. -------------- If Satan ever tries to remind you of your past, just tell him of his future!
