Banannas - Bodybuilding Discussion on Bodybuilding.net Nutrition Forum

bakkily · 12-09-2005, 02:08 PM

Ok, I have been eating banannas, 1-2 every day for breakfest in the mourning with a scoop of Whey Protein Powder. Is this okay to do this, since I am working on cutting? Each Bananna is about 22 carbs or so, so it helps on the carb in take.

Been taking 'em for pottasium for my cramps in my legs I get when I run. Also, I am gonna start eating white rice every day, whats a good way to eat it, and how come its good for cutting, I heard it can help when cutting.

IMO the two bananas in the morning is perfectly fine. Competition Diets usually have a couple bananas in the morning, so it should be fine for a cutting diet. Also if it is helping with your leg cramps then I wouldn't stop eating them.

I think you should eat whole grain rice if you eat rice, white is processed and processed isn't as good in a nutritional sense.
Here's a link that has some info on rice and a few other foods:

Also since you are cutting, you could browse through this article which has some cutting examples and walk-throughs:

Your right on, keep eating them. I don't know about helping with cutting. I tend to back off on the fruit when doing a serious cut.

And be sure your not simply dehydrated.

Ok, thanks guys, what kind of rice would you say is good to eat? And I should work doing a half a cup a day right? for the carbs that I would need?

I work on drinking at least a gallon of water a day...also I gotta drink alot because its so hot here in Arizona. Heh.

Thanks guys, was a good read on that. Thats why my brother is so huge is because he eats alot because he's bored. I use to be the same way, but got into lifting and lost alot.

Though on my off day, Saturday, I went off, and had in the mourning a bowl and a half of cerial, some surgard wheat things. Lunch I ate about 8 rolls with 2 glasses of apple juice. Little snack or something, around 5 pm, I had one grilled chease + cup of soup. Then at 7 pm I had more soup, with 3 rolls and 2 peices of potato bread. And some ice cream. Now that whole day I had gas all day. And it was very unpleasent, lol. My brother would'nt stay in the same room when taking turns playing GTA:SA.

I figured that on my next week for taking off, I would just have a bowl of cerial, and a sandwhich with something that ups in carbs. What do you guys say?

Read in the cutting section that you should have a off day every week. SO your body does'nt get used to cutting every day and does'nt slow down at all...should I do this when cutting?

Kane is talking about brown rice

I've been sick for almost over a week with a fever and since I don't want to get off my diet, though I did eat some little cracker like things for a little bit of carbs. I've been eating up all my banannas, also been working on eating the oranges too. So have been eating banannas and oranges all week.

If I eat 1 b, and 2 or so o's, is this too many carbs? Or no?

	Chuck Norris's Sig:"Chuck Norris's girlfriend once asked him how much wood a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood. He then shouted, "HOW DARE YOU RHYME IN THE PRESENCE OF CHUCK NORRIS!" and ripped out her throat. Holding his girlfriend's bloody throat in his hand he bellowed, "Don't fuck with Chuck!" Two years and five months later he realized the irony of this statement and laughed so hard that anyone within a hundred mile radius of the blast went deaf"
