How bad are potato chips for you really?

[wave_length]

I know chips aren't "good" for you. I don't look like everyone else.

Neither do I and many others in this thread who are of different opinion. What you are doing obviously works. IMO that alone is no prove that all restrictions you apply are necessary.

how bout eat the fkn chips, then later eat more nutrient dense food to make up for the lack of nutrients found in the fkn chips

[xl Achilles lx]

Look at the ingredient label sir. You're mistaken.

Ok.

"Ingredients for Lays Potato Chips: Potatoes, Sunflower Oil, Salt"

Oh hai, thx Rigit.

Now what was your point Disenfranchised?

[zakhan]

Ok.

Haha. Don't even worry about it. The kid (Disenfranchised) who tried to talk nutrition apparently fails at life and got banned. I mean he deserved it, something made with just potatoes, oil, and salt isn't unhealthy for anyone provided (chips) are eaten in moderation because they're so caloric dense.

I've heard that Potatoe chips are Carcinegenic.

Meaning,they have Carcinigens.

I stray away from the standard cheapies made by Lays,Wise,and Herr's.

I Have Sun Chips.They're by Frito Lay.They're Multi-Grain and you can tell that they're not Carcinegenic.

[KJR246]

Lmao. That's the third time he got banned in the last couple months. He just got back from being banned like last week.

This thread makes me want to take heroin and stab people.

But in moderation.

You're thinking of acrylamide, a known carcinogen that occurs when starchy foods are fried or baked. I posted articles about acrylamide earlier in this thread but it was completely ignored which is funny because acrylamide in potato chips is the only way they might possibly be harmful (besides being very high in fat).

I hate these questions "how bad"
An answer is never possible to give
If you want them THAT bad, eat them

give me one good reason (cancer aside, that's outside the scope of this debate) why they are in ANYWAY sub-optimal food.

[RussellDa]

In terms of bodybuilding nutrition chips are bad for you. This is the nutrition section of a bodybuilding website, presumably you are looking for an answer from a bodybuilding perspective. Chips are certainly not a bodybuilders food of choice.

In terms of the average joe, I don't think chips will harm you and you may still be able to reach your goals. However If you want to have the best physique you can possibly have then I don't think chips would form part of your regular diet unless you are an absolute genetic freak.

I can not believe i got negged for this post!

tell me why a food made from potatoes and healthy oil (THAT IS ALL) is not a bodybuilding food.

'because chips are not' does not count.

I would never neg anyone but I would be interested why you think potato chips would be bad for body composition.

[RussellDa]

Chips generally speaking are not made with "healthy oil" if you someone makes there own with olive oil or peanut oil (etc) and could fit it around their target macro goals then why not eh?

I always wonder why people can't look at the nutrition information and ingredient list and.. well... make a decision.

i see, well then, you got negged for coming into a discussion without having read it and posting definitive answers with wrong information.

[100Day]

wouldn't want to eat peanut butter then!

peanut butter = high protien and healthy fats

[hooked4life]

peanut butter = high protien and healthy fats

these chips are healthy fats.

15% of the cals in peanut butter are protein, that's not high protein in my book.

Why is cancer outside the scope of this debate?

1) it would be a large tangent.
2) i don't believe many people have enough knowledge or information to debate cancer properly.
3) it's big enough to have its own thread.

if you would like to create one to it, i will be among the first to read information and think critically about it. with whatever limited information i have/will obtain.

[RussellDa]

My answer was not definitive, where is the wrong information, and i was responding to the ops question who did not state a certain brand or method of cooking etc. My post was balanced and also informative.

you made a blanket statement that 'chips are bad.' since then the debate had included chips made from potatoes and healthy oils and some salt. multiple brands had been listed. they included no other ingredients. in order to say 'chips are bad,' you would need to explain why potatoes cooked in oil are bad.

so far only one poster (elfie) has even attempted that.

no, no, you came in and said 'chips are bad because they are chips.'

i normally don't neg people but i'm getting really tired of retarded food dogma. you want to explain how a serving of this along with the dudes sandwich is somehow bad?

go ahead, but, 'because they are chips' is a massive fail.

[monster555]

Chips are not good and there not bad! Its all about moderation. But of course there is better things you can eat than chips.

[RussellDa]

no, no, you came in and said 'chips are bad because they are chips.'

.

No i didn't, I came in and said this: (in different words) a bodybuilder wouldn't eat chips, but if you don't want to be a bodybuilder don't worry about the chips, eat them.

[hooked4life]

ok, why?

because he shouldnt be having the sandwich either if he's trying to be a bodybuilder, im sure someone said they have chips in a sandwich earlier on which is soooo wrong, funny though if thats what they are eating, may aswell spread some chocolate spread on too, i mean as long as its got healthy fats in it

[hooked4life]

yes, you're right. bread, how could anyone be so stupid.

[RussellDa]

ok, why?

Because i am familiar with bodybuilders diets, and have yet to see chips in one. If you want to see an example of how extreme a bodybuilders cutting diet is (unless a genetic freak) than have a look at this thread: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...t=dave+palumbo

and i could show you video after video of ronnie (the king himself) eating half a bottle of KC masterpiece, cornbread and pink lemonade.

this isn't proof of anything.

i don't think the OP (or anyone else) was talking about the end stages of a contest cut.

again, why are potatoes cooked in healthy oil bad.

stop dodging it.
