Nutrition Myths

jester77

I've been doing alot of reading recently regarding nutrition from various sources around the web. I came across this post in the bodybuilding.com forum which goes against alot of what I have been reading.
It's titled "Time to Debunk Bodybuilding Nutrition Myths"

For those of you that are more experienced what are your opinions on this article? Would you agree with everything, particularly the "whole egg avoidance" and "nutrition ratios" paragraph?

Overall some very good points, the whole egg avoidance thing i would disagree with to an extent.

Reasearch has shown the free range eggs are far superior to battery hen eggs when it comes to proteins, fats, cholesterol etc. As such, the distinction should be made between them on posts like that. If you can get free range eggs, then sure, don't worry about the yolk.

If not, then i would suggest you cut down somewhat on the yolks.

Then again, that all depends on how many eggs you eat. Most people here are not professional bodybuilders and would not be having 10 to 12 egg whites for breakfast!!!

THe Nutrition Ratios i don't agree with, to be honest, No matter what way you want to structure your diet, protein, carbs and fats will all be in certain ratio's plain and simple. If you are bulking or cutting, then surely it is best to be aware what these are and see what works for you and what doesn't. It's just common sense really.

It's a very good post, and matches up with my own thoughts/practice on diet and nutrition.

Quite tempted to borrow it for here.

Thanks for the link,
