I was just pointing out that guys think that just because they're eating at Subway, they think it's healthy. But the reality is, it's not the best thing in the world, just sometimes the best option.
And HireAstarPilots, that's awesome that you're running 43.4 miles per week. By the way, if you don't time yourself, how do you know that you're running 7:30's?
You don't need to time yourself each time. And I skip a couple of days and drink beer instead; I average about 30 miles/week.
-Jetjock has a valid point. I don't care what his cardiologist says, eating a steak now and then probably isn't going to change your lifespan one single day. I eat something high in cholesterol like that about once per month. ONCE per month! My family has a history of ballistic cholesterol levels, and via exercise and careful eating, I have been able to stay away from the cholesterol drugs.
My whole point here is that food is fuel. Now and then it should be something to enjoy, but generally it should be simple and healthy.
That's my take on it.
