    how can tuna/mac be bad?

    1 can tuna 6oz and one microwavable pack of macaroni and cheese (easymac) equals...

    390 cals
    39.9-protein
    7.5- fat
    40-carbs

    How can this be a bad snack/meal?

    white flour noodles in the mac... (not the best choice of carbs, when bulking or cutting) plus fat from the milk and cheese ... tuna is good.. but honestly... mixing your carbs and fats are a no no .. you know this already..
    and even myself, i eat more then 26 grams of protein in a meal, which is all your getting from one can of tuna..

    I hope you see what I posted above.
    I am eating 6oz of tuna, 13x2.5=32.5 grams pro with the mac and cheese at 7g pro = 39.5
    The 7 grams of fat is nothing. I would consider this a pro/carb meal if anything.

    First off, your a newb and should watch your tone. I dont think anyone is here to waste your time and she came back with another reply about your goals....

    If you are trying to gain lean mass you should try to avoid mixing your fats and carbs in the same meal.

    Easy there Buff Daddy, ease up on the testo? If that comment came off as rude to you move along and dont look. Its all in how the user reads it.

    When I start cussing and raising hell, then you can talk.

    Ha....ok let me know when I am able to talk.

    It WAS a rude comment as you accused her of wasting your time. Go ahead and eat your mac and cheese buddy.

    Did you see anywhere in there where I said "wasting MY time" ??? Go back to school you 828 post lovin fucker thinking your king of the hill and not still a newb yourself.

    I was referring to her wasting time posting if she was just going to comment this
    "im not even going to dignify this with a response. oh, woops."

    It was one post on top of another as we were posting at the same time.

    If you only want to blast and not answer the question MOVE ALONG

    Quit your bickering digerati. Your question was answered by tutuprincess, but apparently your one of those people who has an answer set out in your head and disregard good advice. Mac+cheese is not good if your are shooting for LBM only, if you are doing a dirty bulk then by all means eat it up. I mix it with chicken all the time when I am bulking. It all depends on your goals and your body, no one can really tell you how you will respond, do it and find out for yourself.

    macaroni is not a good carb source - it is refined,processed and will cause a significant insulin response, helping all that lovely fat to get stored directly on your gut

    enjoy

    now theres a good answer..


    simply look at the gi of any food. (sorry I dont have a chart) and if it is high it will spike insulin and shuttle any other nutrients you have with that high glycemic carb into the adipose tissue ...mind you if you do eat this you can take R ala which will lower its gi basically and direct the nutrients more so to your muscle tissue.

    I love mac and cheese ... with r ala.

    If you're bulking, a 390 cal meal isn't really much at all.

    im not too sure why it would be a bad pro/carb meal while bulking. i have a glycemic index chart right in front of me and white maccaroni is listed at 45 on the index and anything under 55 is low.

    That's true pasta is low GI, but make sure it's cooked Al Dente, that what its GI is based on. The addition of fat and protein will lower it a bunch too. Its not terrbile since there'r only 7.5g of fat but what people are pointing out is it could most certainly be better.

    heres my solution. to make it a better choice,keep the tuna, maybe go for some wheat noodles or cook the maccaroni el dente and pick up a low fat or fat free cheeze sauce that is low in sugar.

    I eat this all the time, this morning for breakfast I had two cans of tuna with 1 packet of easymac. Breakfast of champions. I have no real choice. I have wheat and gluten alergies when it comes to 100% whole wheat. Looks like a decent meal to me. You guys are too anal sometimes.
