It's a well known fact that most elite athletes (football, basketball, gymnastics, etc.) do well in spite of their diets.
Just think what they could accomplish with a good diet. 
BTW go redskins. lol |

Three or four of us decided to forget all other foods and have a bacon eating contest.

Damn, I hate the Redskins.
But this guy is pretty funny (and a pretty good writer). Check out his blog for more.

Um, Steven. Did you just say go Redskins? Ouch.
Gant, you're right. This guy is pretty good... checking blog now.
Oh, and elite athletes bug me. I even think about a bag of fries and my fitness plummets.

Yep. He even says as much. I guess 'good enough' is, well, good enough. |

FYI.....a $1 Double cheeseburger is close to a Zone ratio (although higher fat).....and they taste sooooo good. Great quick fix if you need one on the road...although I only eat 1/2 the bun and get it without ketchup. I believe it is actually just as high in MUFA as it is in SAT fats too.
Athletes eat junk all the time...but they also burn 6000 calories a day with hours of training and practice and most are under the age of 30....now lets talk about the health of retired athletes 40 and over and we have a whole different conversation...

lol, forgot half you guys are from like south US. anyway, go skins. 
Regardless, couple years ago I used to eat McD's like 2-3x a week (or other fast food) and well my performance levels weren't shabby or anything. But it's definitely not exactly healthy. I can still eat occasionally without any ill effects although I'm not exactly on strict anything. |

Mike's got this right, I think.
These guys are just like the garbage incinerators that generate electricity. You put anything in 'em, and they produce power.
Oh, and Steven, a pox on the Deadskins.
