Eat unhealthy or skip a meal?

[iCY]

Suppose your out on the town and there is nothing healthy to eat around(fast foods/chinese). Would u rather skip the fatty meal and wait till u have some healthy sources of food, go for the unhealthy meal while eating smart and limiting ur fat intake(skipping certain fatty parts of the meal), or not care and use it as a cheat meal. What if you had to do this every day?

Stop at a grocery store and buy fruit.

The is always somthing healthy around if you look..like chinese food, you can always ger some steam chicken and brochlie (sp) with brown rice...that is a god meal..skipping meals is not a good idea, just try to find somthing with the least fat. Or you can always prepare your meals before hand when you know you wont be around anything good and bring them with you

brochlie (sp)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.........ok, we have a new winner for the "kid who needs to go back to first grade" award. Dude, I was having a ****ty day, but this makes me smile.

To the original poster, please don't try to justify poor eating (how about everyday?) The rare cheat meal has good psychological benefits, but the question you're asking is simply a setup for reverting back to standard eating. Plan ahead, pack some food, or stop at a gas station/grocer to pick up some tuna/fruit........hell, even a protein bar if there is nothing else.

Brochlie..........wow.......

try to eat a lil something rather than completly skip a meal. Stop at a gas station and get some jerky and roasted peanuts or some skim milk or something like that.

I hear they have salads damn near everywhere these days. There is ALWAYS something healthy around.

if you're bulking, its better to just eat anything than not eat... That way you keep growing!

So long as you eat at normal hours (i.e. not 2am), there's always somewhere around, where you can get healthy foods. Restarunts, for example, will serve a main course meat with fries or coldslaw on the side. Just eat the meat.

Worst comes to work, get a burger king whopper, and ditch the bun.

Are you insane? Burger King's burgers are the lowest quality beef you can possibly consume. Worst comes to worse, skip a friggin meal, your body isn't going to digest all of your gains in 2 hours. Drive the extra 1 mile and find a place with some quality food.

couple things: if this is happening everyday then you are setting yourself up to cheat and using it as an excuse to....you could plan ahead and take a sandwich or something healthy

if it comes down to having a fatty meal or nothing, the answer unequivocally is to skip the meal (i'm assuming you're not 120lbs and trying to bulk, even then fat isn't good for you) it really won't hurt the majority of people to miss a few meals, unless you are trying to get huge like professional bodybuilders..especially in this case, you are better off going a few hours without food than loading up on junk..... i would refer you to http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/likness34.htm
i've included some of the highlights here.

Starvation mode is something that serves two purposes. In the mind of marketers, its a great scare tactic to shock people into buying supplements to make sure they have something on the road and don't go into that scary starvation mode. It is also great to market systems because Americans like to eat. So any system that says, "Lose fat by eating more" is going to sell.

The second purpose it serves is for the person on the diet. It is a great justification for never going low enough to achieve phenomenal results - after all, they may kick into starvation mode. Better to have a reason to keep calories up and blame the inability to lose that last bit of ab flab on something else.

Thise struck me as a fairly theory-only question. Like, lets assume someone has locked you in a room for 6 hours, and on hour 3 you are faced with the decision to either eat a grease laden burger and cheesecake, or just not eat at all. What would you do? I'd eat the damn burger.

I'll take it you get locked in rooms for 6 hours often?

Some sort of fetish perhaps?

You mean you didn't plan ahead?

[SaintPatty]

Oh no sir, when I get locked into rooms for 6 hours I expect some serious cardio will be going down, so I always do come prepared. Fetish? Maybe. We all have our vices I guess, eh?

might aswell eat something when your out, your going to burn it off anyway.
