CMV: I can enjoy top health and physique while daily eating things like donuts (3 a day)

[FreshTopicFriday]

It's my understanding that refined and natural sugars are nutritionally identical.

Refined sugar is processed more quickly and won't leave you feeling full, but nutritionally, there's no difference. What might happen is that you eat more calories since you're still hungry.

So let's say I want to gain muscle, so I WANT to eat more. I need some basic level of protein going on for muscle growth. Then, I need enough calories via carbs and fats to let my body perform all of its functions.

Then, I more or less need a little extra (recomposition aside) to power the weight gain in muscle. This way, all my protein isn't being eaten up just to run my body's daily functions; it's left over to use for muscle-building.

Those calories I need after getting my necessary protein can be almost anything. I need vitamins, of course, but assuming that's taken care of, these calories can come from pretty much anywhere (as long as some of them are the minimum needed quantity of fat). If it's 1500 calories, I can eat 3 donuts every day if I want, and get however many calories more I need from somewhere else.

The end result will be the nutrition needed to steadily increase muscle without gaining fat (as long as I work out so that my small calorie surplus goes to muscle instead of fat).


This is a footnote from the CMV moderators. We'd like to remind you of a couple of things. Firstly, please read through our rules. If you see a comment that has broken one, it is more effective to report it than downvote it. Speaking of which, downvotes don't change views**! Any questions or concerns? Feel free to message us.
