when “Rabble”
posted this
on NOSTR
i didn’t know he was a Vegan … he really should have done a better job with the caption to make it clear that the restaurant was constrained by his unique preferences …
when other idiots on NOSTR started commenting about how “healthy” the meal was i couldn’t take it and started this thread to break down the nutrition of that meal … which i never would have done if i knew he was Vegan because obviously Vegans are a lost cause.
the very reason i started the thread is because i couldn’t believe my eyes. i couldn’t believe a meal could be THIS bad, and since i never been to China and Rabble seemed to be blaming the Chinese i assumed that maybe this is what “nutrition” China-style looks like.
i then proceeded to analyze the nutrition of the meal comparing it to Hospital Food in America and so on … all of that is still valid, except the context is no longer about Trashing China but trashing Vegans.
when i realized my mistake ( that it’s all Rabble’s fault and not the fault of the Chinese ) i wanted to delete the whole thread but @kanyewest had replied to it already, so now i am forced to just edit it instead. when you read the below just keep in mind i didn’t realize he ASKED to have all of the nutrition ( meat, milk etc. ) removed from the meal.
ORIGINAL POST FOLLOWS BELOW ( edited to remove China bashing ):
this looks like sugar, starch, two flavors of piss, and some leaf.
the closest they have come to a protein is that ounce of peas and the closest they have come to fat is any margarine in that baked thingy.
this is, nutrition wise, American Hospital Food, which was determined by studies to be the worst food served anywhere in America - worse than food served in Prisons - infinitely worse than junk food.
Junk Food ( like McDonalds ) is ROCK SOLID nutrition compared to Hospital food or This. Junk Food has close to optimum amount of protein in it, mostly from Animal sources, which, again, is preferable. and Junk Food has a pretty even balance of carbs and fats even if most of that fat is deep fried soybean oil, but at least some of the fat is animal fat ( which actually contains nutrients like Omega 3, Vitamins A and D and so on ).
this China meal ? simply has no fats at all - just like American Hospital food ( okay okay American Hospitals add a bit of margarine to kill you faster ) and in fact no nutrients … AT ALL.
this meal is ENTIRELY composed of carbs, which is the ONLY macronutrient that is completely unessential, that is - provides ZERO nutrition. about half of Amino Acids in protein are essential and SOME of the fatty acids in Fat are essential as well ( plus animal fat has essential fat soluble vitamins ), but there are NO essential carbs, and the meal above has NOTHING BUT carbs.
the meal above offers ZERO nutrition but a GIANT blood sugar spike ( starch produces almost the same blood sugar spike as sugar itself ) that is damaging to your entire body ( but mainly blood vessels ) and WILL eventually kill you if you keep doing it.
i eat home-made food when i can but if i’m on the go i will first attempt to find a place that serves salmon or fish of some kind, then if that isn’t possible a place that serves steak or eggs, if that is not possible a place that serves chicken and if all fails i will go to 7-11
at 7-11 i buy some combination of chocolate milk, protein shake, protein bar, banana or sandwich … pretty much everything sold at 7-11 has posted content of protein, calories and other macros and they have hundreds of high protein and diet options so you can design your meal with the exact macros you want. i typically go for about 50 grams of protein total for the meal and choose the rest based on how hungry i am and of course so that the taste matches, for example:
- high protein chocolate milk with high protein chocolate chip cookie
- high protein chocolate milk with a protein bar
- vanilla protein shake with a banana
- protein shake with a sandwich
( make sure the source of protein in your Shake / Cookie is Whey and not Soy ! - it will be listed on the label - if the font is too small you can take a pic with your phone and zoom in )
