    +100, its all just mind games to try and get under his opponent's skin.

    Exactly, you cant take a guy and completely change everything about their habits(diet especially) and expect them to excel!

    All that grease makes you extra slick!

    Anyway, I though "Floyd Mayweather's surprising junk food diet" was referring to his recent menu of opponents.

    "You are what you beat." :lol:

    You don't know what you're talking about, people have different calorie requirements due to size and muscle mass. Energy is the same amount of energy for everybody, a big mac is just as fattening for everybody. If it's under your daily calorie requirements then you'll lose weight, if you've eaten too much other stuff as well for your daily body requirements you'll put on weight. Calories in versus calories out, that's all it is. There's no such thing as 'bad' food, it's just energy. Athletes use up a lot of energy so they typically eat energy dense foods such as pizza, maccas, kfc etc. or else they'll have no energy and keep losing weight.

    It boggles my mind that people can be as stupid as you to think that the carbs, protein and fat from a maccas burger are different and aren't going to provide energy for an athlete compared to momma's home made cooking. Food is energy, end of. No such thing as bad food. You sit around all day and fruit could become a 'bad' food.

    this. McDonald's isn't poison if you're exercising a lot and keep a varied diet. It's a nice shot of protein, carbs, and fat.

    Where exactly did you get your degree?

    :patsch

    It boggles MY mind that people like you, who literally know nothing about nutrition, post uninformed opinions as some kind of fact.

    When you are burning that much of excess calories you can essentially sub in really high calorie **** meals because the body is processing so much that the end result is the same. They just need the calories to upkeep what is being burned.

    Well... you off on the type of carbs and fats.

    A big mac is going to have a lot of processed carbs and unhealthy fats.

    While compared to mommas healthier version which isn't processed carbs and its healthy fat.


    You got the point right though, in the end burning 7000-10000 calories a day. You aren't going to notice a difference, it's just there to help with the calories.

    Yes BUT are you really going to notice a difference in a 20 gallon tank if two gallons of the gas is low quality?

    No, you aren't.

    Plus comparing humans to cars is dumb.
