there is very little nutritional value in cheeseburgers and fried chicken strips but there is a lot of trans fats, saturated fats and preservitives that will make you depressed and fat… best advice is cook healthy food at home.

Cheeseburgers have a lot of **** in them and they’re obivously not healthy, we agree, but saying their nutritional value is low, is just untrue. They have a lot of calories and quite a bit of proteïn, which IS nutritional value. It’s still better than eating nothing.

I recently dieted for about a month and lost about 10 kilos. I just ate normal food, except about one meal a day.

I think his point was contradictory. First he said it’s all about portions. To prove this he said eating a cheeseburger or three chicken strips was ok, but then he said that loading it with cheese and bacon doubled the calories and was dangerous. The fact that he gave particularly high-fat foods (cheese and bacon) shows it isn’t just about portions.

I do think that regardless of portions, there are foods that humans should never eat. The quarter-pounder is a straw man argument. He acts as if his nutritionist friends are looking over his shoulder when he eats a cheeseburger. Most nutritionists are not saying never to eat cheeseburgers. However, twinkies and Pan pizzas really should never be eaten by humans. If u exercise and eat real food, you can eat large portions. Most people just don’t understand how far from real food their diet is.

Portion control is hard – period! Not everyone can stop after eating just one potato chip. Basically, it’s supposedly okay to eat anything you want as long as it’s within portion. Unfortunately when the food is too tasty, it’s just not possible. Very hard to do, even harder sometimes to understand how to do it.

chinagrrl, that is so true. I am having to struggle with that now. Plus additives in fast foods (like msg and others) truly do get people addicted so it IS hard to control portions!
