10 bad foods to avoid in daily life (part-1)


You might be one of the bodybuilders who is training hard but no results are visible or the rate of development is simply low. In this case we might be dealing with a problem that is not given by your bodybuilding routine but your bad eating habits. They can actually keep weight loss unreachable and even building muscles can become very difficult. 

 Fried desserts

Fried desserts feature high up on the list of worst foods to eat as essentially you are dipping something in batter that is already high in sugar and fat, and then deep frying it. Don't be fooled by pineapple and banana(or any other fruit in that case) fritters either, they are no better because they are fruit, the layer of batter and the fact they are swimming in sugary syrup make them no go dishes too.




Cheesy fries


Fries could feature as a bad food on their own, but cutting these from your life totally would be a hard move. But taking a plate fried potato and layering it in cheese, well, that takes them up a notch in the bad food stakes. Cheese typically contains over 10 times as much saturated fat as fish and white meat and coupled with deep fried carbs, a serving of cheesy fries is not recommended.




Fizzy drinks


Fizzy drinks are bad, mainly because they pack massive amounts of calories, even in small quantities, so you are adding to your daily calorie quota and getting little nutritional value in return. Fizzy drink consumption leads to tooth decay and heart disease. Diet drinks are not recommended either, granted they are lower in calories but as they contribute to dental erosion (the bubbles in the drink are acidic) they are a no go as well.



Processed meats

These are also sometimes referred to as 'mystery meats' because it's ambiguous as to what some of them actually contain. But you can be assured that if it comes from a can and is kind of unrecognizable - it's not going to be great for your body.Try to steer clear of sausages and salamis too, these foodstuffs are generally all the unwanted bits churned up with fat and salt that do affect the bodybuilding process.




Chicken nuggets

First off, chicken nuggets that are not made from fillets are the real bad guys. When these little nuggets are deep fried, that really boosts their 'worst-food' status and it's all to do with the size. Smaller fried items, i.e. nuggets absorb more fat that larger pieces of fried goods, so a portion of nuggets will pack way more fat that a single larger fried piece. So if you want fried chicken - go for a big breast.




Good Combinations:
     1) protein and fibrous carbs ( steak and spinach salad)
    2) protein and fats ( Chicken, Fish and Egg )

Bad Combinations:
     1) protein and simple carbs (many weight gain powders)
     2) carbs and fats (cheese bread, pizza)
