Subject: RE: is junk food okay sometimes? Originally posted by calebTris 21 year old triathlete here. I guess like any other person my age (maybe any age for that matter) i crave junk food sometimes. At night i randomly will want Mcdonalds for dinner, and so on. When i go out to eat with my friends i dont always get the healthy meal, i'll get a burger and fries. I generally eat healthy, and only drink water. (i want to fuel my body of course and eat good for my overall health). But i'm wondering is eating junk food a few times a week okay? or is it detrimental to my training? A few times a week? That's a lot. A couple of times a week... OK. Honestly, ANY fast food should not be seen or used as a viable food option. But hey, you are 21 years old... I'm sure it's cheap and easy, and thus appealing. You will probably grow out of it and realize that fast food is NOT real food. Is it detrimental to your training? Eh, probably not. You ARE 21. |
