Ok.
So people on here told me that corn is not good because its high in carbs! Why do people figure that carbs are bad for you? Because people who have eaten carbs have gotten fat? Maybe so but thats only because the people getting fat are not using the energy. It makes perfect sense. Fruits, Vegetables and all other types of carbs like grains and oats are good good good and are put here for a reason. For us to eat. I like to believe that if I plan to eat a diet high in carbs I am gonna live a life full of lots of physical activity. And I do. I am always walking around during the day, I get in my hour of cardio and I do my weights. Everyday! Sometimes I go biking or I dance or I just do my Gazelle in my garage. Im always active. So why not eat for the energy I require. Im not saying im gonna eat a hamburger. But If I wanna have rice with my chicken or corn, or peas or beans, well then im gonna eat it.

I dont want to eat spinach with my dinner. I see it pointless. Food is here for our enjoyment espececially the natural foods like corn and all that. Anyone agree?

I see nothing wrong with corn at all, and if it fits into daily macros then its perfectly fine. It is a whole food, so i reckon that its healthy so as long you dont get the canned stuff with the added sugars, it also has fiber and can be a decent main source of carbs to go with a lean protein

I agree
Thats what I mean

Just because some people on this forum tell you some stuff dosnt make it true, or fact, or even a good opinion.

Nothing is wrong with eating corn.

So true. Its hard for me to even believe that there is a thread questioning the goodness of corn.

Dude, seriously eat the damn corn. As long as it is unprocessed why not?


Don't listen to what people say---a lot of it is paranoid information. Like carbs=bad carbs=fat etc carbs=insulin spike=immediate fat storage

I'm pretty sick of it.

I have upped my carbs to 400+ (today was 465, lol) per day.... and have I suddenly got fat? NO

I have realized that carbs are the most efficient source of energy that the body prefers, so I'm gonna eat tons and tons of carbs (with 1g/protein per pound of course!)

I should mention that I consume a lot of fiber.

It's B/S

As long as you are weight training and using the energy, you'll be fine.

Corn is a source of complex carbs, and it has a fair amount of fiber if you eat the whole kind. So yeah, enjoy the corn.

And you should eat your spinich. I find it quite good and nutritious. Just eat it with your corn.

Corn & peas contain complex carbs & fibre too. As long as they are within your daily calorie count they are fine. Green beans are lower in carbs.
