college life=fast food

<p>“which is more unhealthy: sugar or fat?”</p>

<p>Sugar by a mile. Fat is actually a necessary part of a good, balanced diet (and, believe or not, is especially necessary if you’re looking to lose weight). This of course applies to unsaturated “good” fat, such as Omega-3 and Omega-6 that is found in fish, nuts, olive oil, etc. Saturated fat and sugar, on the other hand, have absolutely no nutritional value and are a part of the human diet simply because they serve to make foods more palatable. A good diet will a) eliminate simple carbohydrates (sugar, white bread, white rice, etc) to as great an extent as possible, b) prioritize complex carbohydrates (specifically those in whole grain and vegetables) and protein, c) include some unsaturated (and, inevitably, very small amounts of saturated) fat. Chances are if you stick to foods that fall within those guidelines, you won’t gain any appreciable amount of weight. On the other hand, if you are already physically fit (say 10-14% body fat), you could get away with eating a good amount of junk as long as you supplement it with daily rigorous exercise.</p>

<p>When it comes to nutritional value, that’s true, but when it comes to weight I’d pick sugars/simple carbs over anything with fat. Sugar burns first, fat is stored.</p>

<p>you guys are making me scared. i’m a high school freshman and now i don’t wanna go to college. waaaaaaaa :(</p>

<p>“I eat tofu. Its like 99 cents and you can eat it raw. Sometimes I add a can of beans for taste.”</p>

<p>LOL.</p>

<p>That guy bumped like 10 really really old threads.</p>

<p>I only ate out like twice a week as well, I usually cook. It’s ALOT cheaper and I feel healthier. I can also control my calorie intakes if I’m dieting or something.</p>

<p>And you need fat to survive. I went almost fat free last semester and that was not good…
You really need fat especially if you are a girl. You’ll feel the consequences soon, it usually happens in a month or two.</p>
