Thats why I prefer healthy food over fast food. Fast food tastes good, but makes you feel tired and lazy. When I eat healthy food, I feel like I have fuel in my body for the day.
...Not with uncertainty. Thus I Fight:not as one who beats the air. But I discipline my body and bring it into Subjection...
1 Corinthians 9:26-27
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own. You were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.

i went out with my g/f to mcdonalds last monday and ordered a chicken sandwhich no mayo. I don't remember feeling any different. It just depends on what you eat i guess.

Last time I had fast food was about a year ago. It was late, no food in house and I was too lazy to buy food and make something.. so I got 5 jr bacon cheeseburgers from wendys. I remember after I finished eating them all could feel my heart beating slower and my neck felt all weird. Couldn't sleep either. I woke up several times that night. It felt like I was going to die.
from their site, that's
1.7 pounds of jr bacon cheeseburger
88g Fat (34g saturated, 3.5g trans)
245mg cholesterol
3940mg sodium
168g carbs (32g sugar)
97g protein
what made it worse is I had been eating clean and hadn't eaten fast food for months, so it was like tsunami of poison entering my body. I'm never going to do that again.

The content of that food may not have as much impact as the quantity of it.
How much did you eat?
I ate at Chick-Fil-A the other day. I was sluggish and wanted to nap afterwards...but I probably ate 1000 Cal when you count the dozen or so waffle fries and the 3 nuggets I had with ranch sauce and the grilled chicken sandwich and the brownie...
I normally eat half that many Cal every 3 hours...so all that food hitting my blood at the "same" time kinda simulated Thanksgiving dinner.Mark these words in the annals (no homo) of bodybuilding.com.

think of your body as a car. you give it the highest quality fuel (healthy food) for a while, then one day you decide to throw in some sludgy unrefined fuel. the car will run, but not at the highest level of performance allowed by eating the good stuff.

i work at mcdonalds people,
Meat/chicken/fish is frozen hard has a diamond, and it takes 49 seconds to cook meat, theylls also keep chicken and sausges in the freezer for up to a month, blah
It just amazes me, like Everything is almost processed, the leafs of salad are frozen rock, you hear it from me, what ever you may think is healhty there, is no way at all, theres always a little way around it, ie grilled chicken breasts are 'grilled' in heaping amounts of cookingspray
just dont eat from there man, if anything chicken w/o saucesErrrmmm
Cookies && Cream Protein Shake
Maybe thats why i got into lifting?

Mcdonalds
I have to agree... Processed foods will do that to you... Every once in a while I will stop by and get a salad but it's never satisfting... Plus as you said I feel Drained... And when you are used to a clean diet and throw something like this in the mix... You are asking for a severe stomach ache!!

a lot of people always say they feel sick after eating mcdonalds,im sure its true in some people but im betting for the majority of people its in their head, like they expect it and want to feel that way,so they can justify not eating it as often as they'd like
