Exactly. And due to the zero fiber etc meat makes you feel less full, so you keep eating. Not to mention all the oil and shit meat is served in.

Eating 4000 kcal of veg instead of 4000 kcal of anything else +meat. Will not magically make you lose weight

>> No.4456026

>>4456011

No. While fat does have more calories per ounce, protein and protein satiate just like fiber does. Carbs do not - since in the wild carbs come with fiber this makes sense for our body mechanism.

>> No.4456023

It's also higher in protein than most things you can eat. Just because something has fat in it doesn't mean it's bad.

>vegetarian limited choices

I thought this would be the cause before I went vegetarian, but I eat way more foods now than I did as an omnivore. You look at the menus in most places, and the meat dishes are pretty much always the same ole' crap. Very little variety.

>> No.4456076

>>4456029
>unless it's all fried potatoes

Which it is, in most cases.

French fries and cupcakes are objectively less healthy and more fattening than meat. Both are also vegetarian (possibly vegan).

Being vegetarian is pointless; if you set rules for yourself you will find loopholes and defeat any purpose for going veg in the first place. Just don't be stupid and eat balanced meals, christ.

Fuck off. You sound like one of those /fit/ assholes. Am I close?

Yeah, but the extra fiber from going meatless once a week enables me to take huge bowl breaking craps when I get all stopped up from the meat based diet.

>> No.4456103

>>4456071

Lots of vegetarians, especially picky eaters, don't do this. They live on fewer staples, and so they're more bored with food.

>>4456076
Depends on the vegetarian

>>4456061
Subjective for the most part. Regardless, the point stands - fat and protein both satiate as well.

>>4456076

I've had quite a few friends who have lost 40+ lbs, reversed diabetes, asthma, and other health problems just by going vegetarian. No, they weren't just starving themselves, they still ate healthy, balanced meals regularly. But just cutting out meat and replaced it with whole grains and vegetables makes a huge difference for a lot of people.

while I approve of meatless meals once a week, I can attest that eating a nutritious diet that included meat and vegetables but less carbohydrates has turned my insulin resistance around. I eat wild caught or pastured meats, whole foods, no white sugar or flour. The animal fats have also helped improve my mood. I have energy again!

I can do anecdotal evidence too. Considering I've had friends who put on weight from being dumbasses that replaced meat with godawful amounts of bread , pasta , and veg covered in dressing . Oh and stupid amounts of cheese too

neither do like 70% of americans.

Point is that those things are adding a lot more toward fatness than meat

as far as I'm concerned, the only reason to do "meatless mondays" is to help cut expenses or if you just want to try different food every once in a while. I'm no veggiefag, but vegetarian foods like hummus/falafel or portobello mushroom burgers are fucking delicious.

I agree that as long as each diet is well planned there isn't going to be a difference in performance.
