Perhaps I’ve missed the nuance in the Pod. One thing I’ve heard frequently around weight loss and training is to basically not worry about weight, increase your power, eat right, and your body will recompose itself to create a stronger, fitter, faster, and healthier YOU. It really isn’t that simple…

Honestly I think Jonathan, Nate and Chad have all talked about their relationships with food and weight. Seems like they’ve all had some level of difficulty with it.

But do you think the bath of great salty tasting brine those things come in is actually good for you? In any case, people would be better off with a pre-roasted chicken over the doritos, soda, and frozen dinners they buy.

Of course, why not? What’s wrong with salt? Unless your doctor gives you standing orders to worry about it, salt shouldnt be a concern IMO. With the caveat that you’re not sedentary and get most of your food from fried stuff in a bag. Of course even then…I THINK research has shown salt doesnt matte…

I don’t want to really debate costco chickens or salt with you. What I’m saying is that when something tastes that good, you know it’s been highly processed, injected with something, etc. And when it’s that cheap, it’s going to be the cheapest chicken they can buy. It’s the basic problem with our f…

Jonathan has stated on the pod multiple times he will go on a food weighing binge to calibrate his sense and then stops for a while. I’ve taken this up and have gotten good, I can eyeball 200 grams of rice very closely.

The price is besided my point. I can tell you all love your costco chickens. I’ve enjoyed them too. There are amazingly tasty. Googling, I found: There are ten ingredients in Costco rotisserie chicken: chicken, water, salt, sodium phosphates, hydrolyzed casein, carrageenan, modified corn starch, s…

I know you said you dont want to get into an argument about costo chicken…but dextrose is just glucose…sugar…its water with salt and sugar. That brine you seem to think is poisonous is nutritionally pickle juice they squirt in the chicken. I dont see the big deal. Edit - you actually got me thinkin…

Yeah, I know what you’re trying to say about additives in food, but the Costco chickens aren’t a strong example. PIckling foods is a time tested tradition to improve flavor and preserve foods. As far as additives go, those are all pretty benign. Short of us returning to hunter gatherer ways, some le…

So how much do I need to eat to hit 60g/hr carbs on my next ride?

Costco rotisserie chickens are a loss leader. They lose money on them and don’t raise the price because it gets people in the door. They set up their own chicken business.
