Grits.....good or bad carb????

[Bildo_21]

Alright i like oatmeal as much as the next guy, but in the mourning i am looking for something different. I was thinking about grits but i know they are relatively high on the Glycemic index. I know Big a$$ Ronnie eats them every mourning but I mean he s pro and well they're different. So would these be a good thing to use instead of oatmeal in the mourning while on a lean mass cycle?????

 

[Jayhawkk]

No, not as a complete swap because of the goodness that oatmeals provides. mmmmm oaty!

I dunno, I bought them with the same idea months ago and then I compared the two and there was no justification to swap the two unless on a cheat or off day. imho

I was comparing to your average local store obtainable rolled oats vs grits. Don't come in here and make me look bad! I have enough help by myself

Gotcha. Here's the info on raw rolled oats:

Serve Size: 95

So apparently grits actually have lower GI

 

[Bildo_21]

No $****, maybe thats why ronnies so big,hahaha. Yea my grits main ingredient is white ground hominy. I shall do it for a week or 2 and see what i get , i'll do 2 servings in the mourning (58 carbs) and see what happens

:toofunny:

Oh yeah! :numbered:


Sh1t! I hate when that happens.

 

[Bildo_21]

LOL, man i love oatmeal too, but i think i have been eating it every mourning for about 1 1/2 years now i could use a little change.

 

[Jayhawkk]

Damn, you're not kidding. Variety is definately something you miss unless you do a lot of prep work. spices are about the only thing I change now

 

[Bildo_21]

Yea its bull $hit whys eating healthy so ****ty, got ne good chicken and rice ones cause im running out????

 

[Jayhawkk]

Yeah, chicken, rice....spice. Seriously, I couldn't justify getting all this stuff for these elaborate meals when i'm the only one in my house that eats this stuff. Too many things would go bad before I would get to use them up and it would piss off the wife. Hell she still yells at me for throwing the yolks away. So i told her to get her ass in the kitchen and start baking some pies with it She then began, what I like to call, a beatdown grande.

why even eat rice? its boring as hell, and a vastly inferior carb to a whole list of other carb sources. Sweet potatoes, oats, rye flakes, barley, lentils, fruit/veggies, quinoia, etc.

The only time ill even cook rice anymore is in a big ass pot of black beans simply because the 2 are easy to cook and last for a week (and cheap as hell).

 

[FitnFirm]

Grits, YUCK!!!!!! I tried them once, Ohhhhh I dont know how people eat those!:rant:

 

[Viperspit]

I don't think you could force me to eat those nasty lookin things

 

[zdrc6]

Just me.. but i love my grits. My cheat meal usually is chedar cheese grits, shrimp , and some sweet tea yummy!

 

[Bildo_21]

yea this last week i started putting some pinto beans in with my rice and making a mexican like dish. I figure it'll get me through another week ok chicken and rice then its time to go back to the drawing board. Well ive been on the grits not for a while and so far i cant really tell what kind of tole its tekeing on my physice. Abbs are blured but im bulking heavy for this week and finally @190, but its 2 weeks earlyer than i wanted. So next week im dropping my carbs and going back to the good ol' oats. I can always count on them for beeing the best breakfast carb ever.......

 

[Bildo_21]

And o yea grits plain are prolly top 5 worst things ever, but with some splenda and spray butter.yummyumm. It was a good change-up

 

[jrkarp]

I like my grits with salt and pepper. Nothing else.

 

[serene00]

What?? Grits taste bad? lol.. I love them.. Like he said add a little splenda and you are good to go.. Plus Ronnie uses them so they must work.. lol.
