I mean if you have a bad ratio of saturated:unsaturated fats in your diet for a while it could yield health problems. Also in regards to micronutrients, you probably won't get everything you need from a multi, you'll most likely have to take other supplements as well. But if all you're going for is the body shape you want than IIFYM is awesome lol

As I said before, exercising, eating shit everyday, and being lean is healthier than being anything over 20% bf but eating clean, for instance. Unequivocally.
I'm really not sure where Alan is going with this. A multivit won't cover all your needs but the synthetic vits are the same as if you got them from food



saturated fat is completely fine unless in seriously gross excess.. there's also no ideal ratio of sat:unsat fats lol
that same train of thought goes for unsaturated fats too, especially PUFAs and their high penchant to be oxidized, contributing to tissue damage
I guess basically, most everything is bad in excess, as Alan notes as well

Okay well what do I say when he says that I will make the average person think eating skittles is an okay source of carbohydrates?
I just simply asked for studies opposing the matter.

Or like when people say mcdonalds makes this feel like crap, not used to the extra fat apparently lol.

It's because they've been brainwashed to think that McDonald's is unhealthy and bad for you, there's a strong negative association with it and when you consume you feel bad.
