Steers nutritional info

[greatkaroo]

Actually I have a question, even though its 2 years late. I know eating a lot of junk food is unhealthy, but I'm trying to gain weight. How much junk food is too much junk food when you are trying gain weight ? When will it start to take a toll on your health besides fat gain. e.g. bad skin, heart problems etc.

Honestly, avoid it.

If you want junk food - have a pizza (thin base) or nandos.....

Eat chicken / fish / eggs / joghurt etc.... and lots of it.


You want a lot of protein (60% of your diet) so you can easily build muscle.

Veggie buger or chicken burger is your best bet, unless you want a salad.

oh this is some bull****, here people are complaining about being a little chubby because they eat one or two Big Mac's.

I'm eating like there's no tomorrow, and I'm not gaining ANY weight. How is this possible!? I'm over being skinny . I want some sort of weight

Ah, those were the days. I thought the exact same thing till about 28. 5 years and 30kgs (55->85) later I realised just how wrong I was... (down to a happy 70 odd now though)

Odds are you're doing something fairly active, even if you don't consider it excersise...

There's actually a school of thought that promotes the use of "cheat meals" to increase your fat loss efforts and keep your metabolic rate higher. This is basically planned overeating at certain times while keeping overall weekly calorie intake where it needs to be for fat loss.

The thinking is along these lines : restricting calories for too long causes your body to fight back and reduce your metabolic rate. This is a simple survival tactic because your body thinks a possible famine is on the way so it needs to hold on to your body fat and start conserving calories.

To overcome this effect and keep losing fat, you need to fool your body into thinking that plenty food is available again, and this in turn will pump up your metabolic rate again.

It's all apparently got to do with leptin levels in your body and how "strategically overeating" influences these levels. From what I've read it seems that one day a week pigging out actually contributes to fat loss
Try stay away from trans fats and high sugar content meals though


unfortunately for me my day off appears to have been yesterday (... and sunday ... and saturday )

If you eat many smaller meals a day (say 5 instead of the usual 3) your metabolism will increase. I guess its what you said, fooling the body into thinking there is an abundance of food. And to the fast food vs eating at home debate: Cooking at home tastes waaay better and is cheaper and healthier! (most of the time). Think about it, some **** in some dirty kitchen defrosting msg ridden prepared meals, versus cooking with fresh ingredients. Its fun too

It's cheaper and more healthy to make your own burgers at home than it is to buy a Steer burger. For the same Kj's a King Steer Combo has you can get away with 4 home-made cheese burgers... AND it will cost you the same.
