So when do people stop going out to eat?

[fan4ever]

I have a customer who owns 5 Mexican Food Cafes here in the Phoenix area. The past few years we've reprinted their menus 6 times...always to accommodate higher prices. Their typical cost now is about $18.00 per entree...Mexican food.

On a personal note I stopped by a McDonald's today and paid $4.96 for a large order of fries. There's got to be a breaking point for most folks.

This actually sounds pretty good. I like just plain egg whites.

Well, that doesn't really pertain to total sodium because there's many more sources than just sodium chloride (table salt).

Sure, you don't want to intake a lot of salt but the vast majority of people consume sodium in the form of soda pop and stuff that contains other sodium compounds like MSG.

That being said, it's pretty important to supplement at least SOME iodized table salt. Not Himalayan salt, sea salt, or anything else but actual iodized salt. I read an article recently about the increase in iodine deficiencies in America.

See that's a really good choice.

I can’t do that, I butter my toast and dip it in the yoke.

Salt is awesome!

I found one article out of 1.2M that is pro salt!

A big issue with highly processed food is that it is generally very high cal so people struggle to not take in excess calories. You can sit down with a bag of chips and a soda and take in 500 calories in 15 minutes and still be hungry. It's terrible.

Protein is so important for me bc it helps me not have sugar cravings. Also helps with gains too

In moderation, cayenne powder can be used as a salt substitute.

Proteins are harder to break down so they keep you full longer. It's one of the most important components of any weight loss plan. And absolutely necessary if you want to add muscle.

I drink 60g of whey protein isolate a day to supplement what I get through food.

I'm a smasher of string cheese

My wife will meticulously pull the thinnest strands over a period of like 10 minutes. I'm lucky if I get 3 or 4 strands before I've annihilated mine in seconds

It takes me longer to get the packaging tab separated to open it than it does to consume. I love those things

I take a 50g hit of protein mix in the morning. It sharpens my thoughts in the morning. I probably shit out 90% of it later, oh well.

Well not really because not all calories have the same effect on your body.

I remember reading some study where they controlled what the participants ate for breakfast and lunch and then in the afternoon the participants got something like a 400 calorie snack.

Some got 400 calories from a sugary drink. Some from yogurt, some from a piece of steak etc.

Then they let them all self serve how ever much dinner they wanted of spaghetti or something.

The ones consuming the steak reduced their dinner consumption by almost 400 calories compared to the ones drinking sugar. The yogurt was in between.

So drinking sugar does nothing to keep you from being hungry later, duh. But eating steak did.

But that's the point.

Calories in aren't the all same. That's why high protein diets work to lose weight...

And 400 calories of steak is a fairly small/quick package...

So being high calorie quick to eat isn't really the issue.
