Well, beings that beans are pretty high in complex carbohydrates and pretty high in fiber, you have more than enough carbs with that.

They are low for the most part in fat, and low moderate in protein.

Bread is high in carbs, low in fat and low in protein.

See the problem with this meal?

4 slices?
See the problem with this all by itself?

You would be better dropping the bread all together (remember you are dieting) and just tossing the tuna in the beans, add a few fish oils and calling a day.
Usually those beans come in some kindof sweet sauce like BBQ or something sugary like that upping the GI and and adding nutritionless cals in the form of hi glycemic carbs.

You would be better rinsing the beans garbage off of them and adding the tuna with some kindof fat like even mayonaise.

Green beans would be a better selection with that tuna and some fish oils.
Now that is the selection I would pick.

The thing is Neil, you have conditioned yourself to eating sh1t for many years......if you persevere with good wholesome, nutritious food, very soon it will become second nature and you will feel better for it.

I sometimes crave junk on my cheat day, eat it then feel bitterly disappointed with it as my imagination told me it was gonna be delicious, but instead it was medeocre at best - this then fuels me to eat "proper" food throughout the week.

I always enjoy doing my shop and seeing the average overweight joe piling up their trolleys with processed crap that makes up about 90% of what the supermarket sells. No wonder there is an obeisety epedemic as this is all people are presented with.....make a stand!!

i agree mark but to eat good food which is healthy you have to like what you eating otherwise you dont enjoy it do you agree? so this is where its difficult for me to knock 6 meals a day up with the things i like i mean take tuna for instance i love the stuff but as soon as you drain the brine away its dry and tastes naff that aint a meal its a tin of tuna may be if i was introduced to all this stuff when i was a kid i wouldnt be finding it hard to make a weekly diet up now

Depends whether you want to enjoy tasty meals or get big, strong and lean dude

There's a trade-off.

Sure, you can add some curry sauce to chicken if you're bulking, or add some mayo to tuna etc etc, but at the end of the day, most of us would MUCH rather be eating pizza and ice cream... but that doesn't get much in the way of results in bodybuilding... trust me

If you really want to get big, strong and lean, learn to eat stuff you don't like 90% of the time.

beans on their own are usufficient protein....same goes for wholeweat bread

add the two and you actually have a very good combination of aminos

i always advise the two together for vegetarian bb'ers

add some amino caps and your flying

despite what some may think beans on whioleweat is vewry nutritious....add butter and the macros are pretty good

bigdaftjoe · 19-01-2006, 11:30 AM

i thought they were religion in billy? personally i would just try and cut down on your carb intake and cut out bad fats but when im bulking i could eat a three piece so should i really comment?
