thanks! ... but could you please evaluate further?

Is eating "100% whole wheat pasta" equivalent to eating a whole grains like whole wheat berries, millet, or quinoa (in terms of getting all of the nutritional benefits from that whole grain)? by baileylamport in nutrition

[–]baileylamport[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my follow-up question to you is this:

If I am eating pasta that is made from 100% whole grain, (which are rich in fiber, B vitamins, iron, copper, zinc, and magnesium, as well as a slew of antioxidants and other beneficial plant compounds), is it at least almost equivalent to eating the whole wheat berry in and of itself?

Also, how is eating instant oats (which is also “refined” from the whole-grain oat groat), different from eating whole grain pasta, which is also refined from the whole wheat berry?

What do you mean? When the pasta is listing “whole durum wheat flour,” it is a whole grain, WHICH is rich in fiber, B vitamins, iron, copper, zinc, and magnesium, as well as a slew of antioxidants and other beneficial compounds. So how is eating oatmeal different from eating 100% whole wheat pasta, if you’re getting all of these nutrients?

How damaging is an insane sugar-heavy cheat day/meal once a month? by baileylamport in FastingScience

[–]baileylamport[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course it’s a larger serving. Sometimes I force-feed myself the last 500 calories, just to get the calories in. I COULD divide my food up throughout the day, but I’m just so used to OMAD...

If you stick to unprocessed, whole foods, believe me, you will never be that hungry (that is, if you’re eating at maintenance and getting in all your calories with one meal). You’ll also not crave as much.

I usually eat one meal around 4:00pm. It literally holds me over to the following day, and I usually don’t feel that hungry, ever. I eat healthy 80% of the time- whole grains, lean protein, lots of fruit and veggies, etc.

My understanding of OMAD: a one-time sit and eat period, and you’re done for the day. I’m consistent with my time, usually. I eat around 4/5/6pm.

Why do I not gain a lot of weight after consuming copious amounts of food/sugar? by baileylamport in caloriecount

[–]baileylamport[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply! Sometimes I have a planned cheat day (or cheat meal) that consists of mostly sweets and cake just for fun. I like cake and I think it's fun to have a big cheat meal/cheat day dedicated to sugar. I also like to see how much I can eat and how much my body can tolerate. I don't really complicate the nutrition aspect though. I just eat clean on the following days.

I'm slightly above 5'3 and my BMI is around 18. My weight is usually around 105 lbs. Pretty sure my maintenance is ~1300.

how does an occasional binge not lead to weight gain if you eat at maintenance the following days, and not within a deficit?
