Macaroni & Cheese ?

**BOBBY D** · 04-27-2006, 01:01 PM

dont kill me here guys LOL, but i am finishing up pct & still bulking w/ creatine. i want to keep my carbs high.. how good is an " macaroni & cheese" to a diet.. im talking the real cheese velveta 1. i usually eat 1 "cooked" cup as my meal 2 hours before my workout w/ a 8oz turkey burger..

i was doing this with brown rice, but got tired of it.. im not concerned about the fat cause there's not much saturated fat or any trans fat.. let me know what u guys think. thanks,

"the real cheese Valveta"? I think Valveta is as fake as you get, next to maybe that church cheese. Don't know exactly, but just from it being cheese and white pasta couldn't be too good. I hope someone says it is, cause I love that shit.

i wouldnt add mac and cheese to any diet whether it be bulk or cut...... thats my take. im not a fan of junk food.

me too bro, when i say real chees i mean not the powder stuff. im italian & i love my pasta, but i havn't been eating much pasta lately.. the other day i did a super carb load day & the next day i felt strong & looked fuller.. the muscles need that once in a while, but i was wondering about the mac & cheese cause i need something different..

u r considering it junk food? the only thing is the sodium, but i dont blow up from salt.. maybe i should just have plain pasta w/ ground sirloin chop meat?

that whole wheat pasta aint too bad, if you need your pasta try that every once in a while. I happened to have speghetti and meatballs last night, so good.

I would just stay away from any sauce made with cheese.

maybe im spoiled that my dad owns a porkstore and i get a home cooked meal every night. but yea id consider it junk food, it comes in a box lol. id never bulk with it. thats me though. there are guys on here that bulk with fast food im sure. i honestly just cant stand that sort of stuff. im also carb sensitive and it all ends up in my love handles. so when i bulk i make sure that i get complex carbs and stay away from the simple carbs except for PWO.

Cutting hell no.

sodium is far from the only issue with mac n cheese. you need to read the ingredients on the label for the cheese. that stuff has a bunch of artifical chemicals in it, which you really don't know the effects of on your body. it's made to be able to last for years on a shelf, which is far from normal for cheese, and you're willing to ingest that?

best advice is if man made it, don't eat it. at minimum, keep the man-made foods to a minimum, and only go with those things minimally processed with food additives you can actually pronounce and that is not a list longer than a 12 year olds christmas wish list.
