Pressed Rat, I Ate 6 Pieces Of Bread In One Day!

the thread title is a fact. yesterday i had one piece of bread (toast) with eggs for breakfast.
then i had my normal sandwich for lunch (2 slices of bread)
then i had a piece of toast with raw honey as a snack
then i had a tuna sandwich for 2nd dinner. (2 more slices)

so that's... 90 grams of carbs, just from bread that day. i could have easily eaten 150 g of carbs in that one day. which made me wonder,
how long would it take Pressed Rat to eat that many carbs?

 

6 pieces... lol please.. 6 pieces is for the weak.

give me a jar of peanut butter and jelly if you want a bread eating contest.

 

i'm talkin' large, whole grain slices here. no white kid's stuff.


today when i got home from work i ate about...8 sugar cookies.

 

i've eaten an entire loaf of bread in one sitting. although, this was white kid's stuff, so i'm not sure if it actually counts.

 

I eat 4 to 5 a day

If i counted every time I thought I was dead, I probably lost count because I don't know what counts in dimensional.

i love mind fucking people, including myself, sorry.

look up dimensional.

 

I probably eat 150 grams of total carbs (mostly from fiber) in a 4-5 day timespan from vegetables, but also seeds, nuts and dairy too.

 

What is the probability you don't just so I can get a handle on what kind of performance you expect from yourself?

 

I'm sort of thinking some midnight toast might be nice.

On the other hand, I finally got my blood sugar doing well since last night's binge meal, I should probably let well enough alone and just eat breakfast.

 

Ask Lebron or any other low-carb athlete.

There is something called keto-adaptation, which refers to a process in which the body becomes conditioned to burn fat instead of carbs for energy. This process can take weeks and even months to fully achieve.

Even endurance athletes can compete to the fullest level of performace on carb-restricted diets, granted they are well-adapted.

So this idea you need carbs to fuel performance is a rather outdated one. For further information, see The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Performance by Dr's Stephen Phinney and Jeff Volek.

Mrs Murphy: May I help you boys?
Elwood: You got any white bread?
Mrs Murphy: Yes.
Elwood: I'll have some toasted white bread please.
Mrs Murphy: You want butter or jam on that toast, honey?
Elwood: No ma'am, dry.
Jake: Got any fried chicken?
Best damn chicken in the state.
Jake: Bring me four fried chickens and a Coke.
Mrs Murphy: You want chicken wings or chicken legs?
Jake: Four fried chickens and a Coke.
Elwood: And some dry white toast please.
Mrs Murphy: Y'all want anything to drink with that?
Elwood: No ma'am.
Jake: A Coke.
Mrs Murphy: Be up in a minute

i don't know them.

 

Good one.

 

Point is pressed rat you can be stressed about what you eat and your stress shows in the way you describe issues in conversation. you've been here longer than i so I don't know what has led to your choices in life thus far but I hope it wasn't discomfort. It is not what goes into a man that makes him glow healthy, but what comes out, how you compose yourself

 

Stressed? How?? I was asked a question specific to my diet, and I answered the question being as specific yet concise as I could be. I'm not sure how else I could have answered the question to meet your approval.

I was once obese and very much out of shape. It did cause a good deal of discomfort in my life, and that is what lead to my passion for nutrition and fitness. Being passionate about something is not the same as being stressed about it.

Also, how I come across to people I don't know over the internet is irrelevant to me as I am not looking to make e-friends with anyone.

 

You answered me, you met my approval as a friend. Obviously you don't remember me saying to you that I hoped your journey hadn't been too stressful. You admit stress and now you think you have to defend yourself from attack, stress, because I told you something fundamental about all of us.
This is how you show up stressful. I am not trying to make you feel uncomfortable and this is how an unrecognized assumption can get your stress levels up, i.e. he is out to get me, when in fact he is telling you something from his heart.

 

thedope spits genius sometimes but sometimes I suspect he's speaking gibberish.

also, I like bread. I gave up carbs for a month, the first two weeks were tough, the last two weeks I felt pretty good. But I eventually started eating it again because it is time consuming to prepare breadless meals to take to work for lunch. Maybe one day when I am better organized ill attempt it again.

 

i'm not big on bread, though i do eat multi-grain and dark rye. i don't count carbs or calories, i just try to eat as diversely as i can. i do have to try to limit my sodium intake, and that of sweateners of all kinds.
weight and blood pressure are a thing. physical strength is not. exercise is boring, unless its the little grey cells, or just happens from doing something else.
i do walk and ride buses rather then drive a car. health isn't the main or only reason, just one among several.

not sure why this was addressed to one person, who isn't me, or quit what should be such a bit deal about bread in particular.
i like noodles better, until i need a change from eating too much broth. then its micro-wave, because i really don't like to fry anything.

 

Bullshit. I could smell the condescension coming from that post, and it's not just my paranoia.
