Will my daily habit of eating fast food ruin my chances of building a nice body?

[brandonlh]

Ill eat restaurant food like twice a day from mcdonalds, taco bell, krystal, hardees, wherever and i know this couldnt be good. Will this just make me fat instead of letting my gain lean muscle?

[ThousandEyes]

does it fit your macros?

[brandonlh]

does it fit your macros?

Yes it does. Actually even after eating all that im in a small caloric deficit. My goal is trying to lose some belly fat and build muscle at the same time as im a newbie to lifting

[TUFFTONE]

I would say maybe physically you can see some nice gains.. But it just isn't healthy and your not mentally healthy. when you eat nutrionist food you force your self to grow cause you know your doing everything right.

Good times, great fun. OP, why do you choose to eat like that? I'm not judging, your life, your body, just curious? I ate a lot of fast food back in the day I was always on the go. Now that I eat food I make myself I just feel better. Life is better in general. It's worth a shot. I'm willing to bet you can make food you cook yourself taste far better than McD's anyway. Burgers are easy and can be made way better yourself, b&j's beats a vanilla milkshake hands down. Just sayin.

from a body composition standpoint it's probably fine but I can't imagine you are hitting your micronutrient requirements which are also essential to good health.

So you believe not hitting your micronutrient goals has no effect in terms of body composition?

Yes of course this will make you fat! Fast food is full of saturated fat and enough sodium to meet your daily requirements for months from just 1 meal. Get a grip man maybe look into whats in these fast food meals your eating and you'll see how unhealthy eating that stuff all the time is. If your goals are high blood pressure, diabetes, and looking like a sack of **** than by all means eat fast food for all your meals.

Do you understand nutrition? Not being a dick, but it seems like you need to do some reading...

I know I just nominated you for post of the year in the "can't get weight" thread not even 5min ago miacanesfan25....buuuuuutttt I think this guy deserves it way more now sorry. You still hold the #2 spot for biggest lulz on BB.com though

[krete77]

Yea OP; I dunno; I've been eating fast food all this past 6 months due to school/work/baby etc so my time is limited. I still try to get a lot of healthy food choices in but honestly, I get around 1200cals from fast food alone maybe a few times a week. I've been cutting since January, and while the cut is going extremely SLOW, probably due to eating junk, I'm still LOSING fat and I still feel relatively healthy. (losing about .75lb/week).

I only eat dbl hamburgers from Burger king; not trying to justify it being good or anything, but I eat 3 at a whack, giving me around 70g of protein..I just add it into my macros and move on. Still get plenty of cardio and lift 3x week/ full body / nice and heavy. 28 years old..might not be the best diet plan for older people, but for now, I feel great...check my blood pressure a couple times a week also, its usually spot on around 110/60. Had my blood test done 2 weeks ago (get em every 3 months) and all levels are fine.. Right where they are supposed to be.

That's from personal experience, take from it what you will.

There's winners all over the place it's the nut forums.

the op stated he eats fast food twice a day, so yes if you are eating that much fast food of course you will get fat.

[Flashkicker]

I always thought that the effects of not getting essential micro-nutrients might not be visible for years. I guess it would depend on which nutrients you were missing, or overloading on.

[thewallace]

and I know what your getting at I shouldn't have just short answered it like that. what I should have said is for MYSELF I stay away from fast food and the big reasons are with to high sodium intake I bloat up like a water balloon and that high fat puts me way over for my fat intake for the day. so well done for calling me out on that and making me look like an azz lol

[Velenox]

IIFYM, that is all.

That is the fact of all facts. I just didn't want you to feel slighted since I changed my mind in about 2 1/2minutes

Not being a dick, but you're a complete retard. Overdose in Sodium for long periods of years "could" affect your heath in the future. Obviously he was over reacting, However eating 2 big mac meals and whatever on top of that, I would consider "Overboard"

Tempted.

[desslok]

Short answer: no.

First off, thanx for negging me for not even understanding what I wrote or what the OP wrote... good job to yourself retard! Did he say HOW MUCH he eats? No... Going to McD's and eating twice a day if you are having a total of 12 chicken nuggets is NOT going to affect you if you have a balanced diet. He didn't say he was eating 2 big mac meals did he? He also only asked if it would make him fat.... YOU CAN'T ANSWER THAT BECAUSE YOU DONT' KNOW HIS DAILY TDEE.. OR EVEN HOW MANY CALS HE IS CONSUMING... He also wanted to know if he could build muscle... are you saying you CANT build muscle from eating fast food? So I guess YOUR opinion is what matters though right? Since you THINK he is eating 2 LARGE meals, I guess that's the only right answer.. Give me a freaking break....

[rob2093124]

the op stated he eats fast food twice a day, so yes if you are eating that much fast food of course you will get fat.

how?

[miacanesfan25]

how?

Easy, by not understanding the basics of nutrition.

[MNTiburon]

Most people who eat fast food daily end up obese because the food is calorie/fat dense. Very easy to eat over maintenance. But it really depends on what others food you're eating and the quantity/quality of fast food itself. A grilled chicken sandwich =/= a double whopper w/ cheese.

i know this, but you can't simply state. "if you eat fast food twice a day, you will be fat"
