I've got to a point in losing weight and working out where I look good/feel good but need to get serious about nutrition if I want to lose these last 15lbs.
I've barely scratched the surface on learning about what to eat and it's already a cluster fuck. Articles contradicting eachother, blatant product pushing etc.
Today I wanted to grab a snack so I stopped at a gas station. *yea, red flag already* I walk past the candy bars and get to the "healthy" rack. These are basically candy bars with more protein. Cliff, MetRX, building bar, and all the others were complete garbage for you. 32g of protein proudly displayed in yellow bold font on the front but turn it over......350 calories, 45 grams of fat, 50+ carbs....complete shit.
They all had one thing in common too, you had to move the flap to read their nutritional info. I wonder why.
Ended up walking over to the jerky section, 110 calories , 2g of fat and 23g of protein. But a shitload of sodium which raises your blood pressure but I figured I'd drink 2 bottles of water to hopefully offset that.
