How many Calories do you eat? - Page 2

Not exactly. Saturated fats have a bad rep. They are bad however because they are the most difficult macro nutrient for your body to use. Many of the original studies that condemned saturated fat were actually testing TRANS fat (which is a saturated fat, artificially saturated). Many people now believe that saturated fat is not entirely bad and maybe beneficial if you eat it in MODERATION. It all seems to make sense to me, moderate and you are ok.

I would guess filling your face with burgers is probably not a good way to get saturated fat. However many people avoid eating things like cheese and nuts because they contain saturated fat. I don't think that is such a big deal as long as it is in moderation and part of an overall healthy diet.

I have heard of some vegans and vegetarians finding that their health improves to a level better than when they ever ate meat or purely "healthy" veggies when they finally eat more "less healthy" veggies such as nuts.

Fats are essential.....Bottom line there is no debating this and they carry me through my rides untill I turn-up the volume in the hills ,where I use up my glycogen stores

Resveratrol Supplements make sure that you maximize the calories you take in by increasing the efficiency of your mitochindria thereby increasing endurance and .shortening recovery time.
According to Wikipedia, Consumer Lab, an independent dietary
supplement and over the counter products evaluation organization,
published a report on 13 November 2007 on the popular resveratrol
supplements. The organization reported that there exists a wide range
in quality, dose, and price among the 13 resveratrol products
evaluated. The actual amount of resveratrol contained in the
different brands range from 2.2mg for Revatrol, which claimed to have
400mg of "Red Wine Grape Complex", to 500mg for Biotivia.com Transmax,
which is consistent with the amount claimed on the product's label.
Prices per 100mg of resveratrol ranged from less than $.30 for
products made by Biotivia.com, jarrow, and country life, to a high of
$45.27 for the Revatrol brand. None of the products tested were found
to have significant levels of heavy metals or other contaminants.
