Say you eat u bake this bag of roasted gold potato and veggie blend you got from schwans ppl lol at like 9 at night is that bad?? it only has 2g of fat per cup thats pretty low so im hopping its not that bad but im gonna be doing a lil excercising later on tonight i just need help with all this dieting stuff like what foods ppl think are good but are really bad for u i need help with that ya know also today i got down on myself becz for breakfast i had a bagel with just jelly then for lunch a salad but had 2 cookies with it and some of the packs of wheat crackers i got so mad at myself for eating the cookies they were soooooo good though could u like have 2 snack days a month and still not gain weight from them??
 
idealy you shouldnt have them at all i dont cause i just dont like sweets of any kind now when i get the munchies i got straight for an apple.

but dont get down on your self... there just cookies, not like you had a box of them either and it would probally ok to have them like once a week, but if you really want to feel good about your self jsut dont have them, remind your self of your goals and just move on
 
First of all, I can barely understand what you are saying because of all of your abbreviations...
Therefore I have no idea what "bake this bag of roasted gold potato and veggie blend you got from schwans" is. Anyways, the calories matter more than the amount of fat.

Click to expand...
thats fine. some ppl do one each week.

personally i do a few cheat meals each week but not the whole day :p
 
im a little bit surprised schwans actually has something good? (their chicken pot pie taste like paper!) you know, if you are going to eat a calorie grenade, you might as well eat it not BEFORE you go to bed. don't get frustrated at yourself when you go all out a day or two a month. it's all perfectly normal. i treat myself with 10 pcs of california maki (sometimes i even eat it after a bowl of sukiyaki and 6 pcs of ebi tempura) and a chilled sake every end of the month ^_^ everytime i look out my window during night time, that blasted smiling shrimp holding a beer mug keeps bugging me. it's like it's calling me... beckoning me to take a bite at the its sumptuous crispy fried breaded skin. ofcourse it's only a signboard from the japanese restaurant across the street but hey... when the shrimp's calling you... it won't stop until the end of the month! Where was I? Oh yes, we all have our weak moments, but don't let that deter you from your long term goals ^_^

Thanks But i have another question what about the cookies do u think that is fine i mean rnt cookies really fattening also lol if u chew winterfresh gum does all the sugar in it turn into fat when it goes in ur body someone has told me it does
 
sugar turning to fat? OK THIS IS TRICKY. YES if glycogen stores are full. however, sugar (simple ones found probably in your gum as well) makes you feel fatigued or a little less active after sometime after "insulin" is released by the pancreas to compensate for the sudden surge in blood sugar (so it's probably a good idea to avoid stuff with sugar before you workout). this phenomenon is called sugar shock. also, release of insulin also prevents the liver from releasing fat to be burned as fuel (by triglyceride form which is another reason why you shouldn't eat anything with simple sugars before excercising). in theory, this also applies to simple carbohydrates as it also triggers fast glycogenesis cycles (i think it's called glycogenesis or was it glycolysis? im pretty sure it's glycogenesis) which is leads to manufacture of more glycogen giving an instant full content to glycogen stores and exceeds the said capacity thus triggering again the release of insulin (leading to the blocking again of the catabolism of fat and infact, encourages it). HOWEVER, complex carbs are good (oatmeal) before a workout (not right just before but around an hour or so before) because it gives you a constant steady supply of glycogen without compromising the maximum level of storage capacity of glycogen. why? because the body won't have a chance of storing glycogen. Why? Because of the activity you are doing which is actively depleting the stores of glycogen. why is glycogen good? glycogen is energy. CHECK sports physiology, either from a tortora physiology book or a guyton phyiology book.

IN SHORT

SIMPLE SUGAR/SIMPLE CARBOHYDRATE = very probably and mostly will turn into fat and encourages fat storage further

COMPLEX SUGAR/CARBOHYDRATE = low chance of turning to fat and good source of energy when doing something active. this really helps when you are going to the gym or have an active lifestyle.


about the cookies, if your look in the back of the package of the cookie pack, you should see a nutritional information of how many calories are there in a single serving (i think chips ahoy! considers a serving equivalent to three cookies but i 4got how many calories are there). AS LONG AS you don't exceed the calorie limit for the given day (like me, i have a 1500 calorie budget per day which is hell), you WON'T GET FAT. Eat alot of them in just one sitting, and you are asking for trouble. If you can't resist a cookie, eat one now then another later (like after 2 hours?). This gives your body time to compensate.

it would be a lot better to have a sugar free gum its not at all hard to find out.

and yeah just have a cookie or two every week or few days as a treat for working so hard.
