Dont mix carbs and protein?

[goforitman]

I have a friend who will die by the rule that you cant mix carbs and protein, help me prove to him that this is BS!

Simply have him read the stickies in this section. Particularly Alan Aragons sticky on nutrition timing and how hitting your macros for the day is BY FAR the most important aspect in body composition. When you ingest your macros is hardly as important as simply hitting your numbers. Or you could show him the meals eating now thread and the pics of all the people that post them. Some pretty epic meals in that thread from bros with outstanding bodies. Better yet ask him to post one scientific study backing his theory!

why even waste the time? your friend is being an idiot.

[NanaFrana]

whats his rationale?

[PowerChica]

show him someone who's doing it (most people) who are getting great results and voila.

So your friend never eats peanut butter by itself ... never drinks milk by itself ... never eats bread?

All of these have protein and carbs in alone.

Your friend is so retarded, he/she doesn't realise he/she is most likely eating carbs and protein together every single day.

I could go on about the endless reasons your friend is an absolute, clueless idiot but I think the above will suffice for now.

[OrcaLifter]

your friend sounds smart.

With all of the misconceptions about the way food is stored by our bodies I could kind of understand him saying not to mix carbs and fat but I can not even understand where he came up with not mixing carbs and protein.

Has your friend ever eaten a hamburger?
