I'm seeing alot of guys eating these post workout, even in prep. Any input? Bloating? I appreciate the feedback
I love cereal post workout. If it sits well with you, and you stay within your macronutrient intake, then have at it. Just don't become one of those "IIFYM, micronutrients don't matter" bros. Yes, flexible dieting works, but let's not be a complete asshat about it and consume nothing but whey protein and jelly beans.
This isn't an attack on anybody in this thread, just my thoughts on the subject:
This kind of mentality is what's invaded bodybuilding as fitness in general has become more mainstream - the YouTube generation, the Rich Piana masses, those who treat the gym as a see and be seen place, etc.
The 2 most popular hardcore bodybuilding gyms in my city have racks full of candy bars for sale - Reese's, Snickers, whatever you want - right next to protein powders, bars, etc.
Did any respectable gym in the world where NPC competitors and IFBB pros trained have that 20 years ago?
Inflammation is the true silent killer. The traditional bodybuilding diet is already pro-inflammatory and adding shit like Rice Krispies Treats just make it that much worse.
Bodybuilding has enough risk factors with high blood pressure, excessive gear usage, etc., so bodybuilders should be doing everything they can to control things that aren't absolutely necessary to the sport - like unnecessary sugar consumption postworkout.

Dude 1 guy mentioned Rice Krispies treats..
I'm just saying some of these guys abuse it. It was created with a rule of thumb: 80% of food comes from non-processed "bro" foods while 20% can come from basically anything you want, as long as it fits your macros. I'm certainly not against it. I use it myself.the definition of iifym is "eat whey protein and jelly beans?"
good to know. :banghead:

You still wearing leggings with no undies/shorts to extreme iron? Haven’t seen you in a while
It’s fucking rice. Chex cereal, cream of rice. All the same bullshit.
