I got to "fiber is bad" and quit reading.

This article is old as hell and still just as stupid. Please tell atheletes grains are not necessary
Not if you want to be bigger than a high school junior.What you ultimately need to get to is half your plate in meat, half your plate in colorful vegetables. Serving size? The size of your hand.
Metabolic efficiency training.

Why's that?
Limiting returns. Your hands don't grow in proportion to your muscle mass.
Like the common knowledge fact that larger bodies require greater intake than smaller bodies? If you need a linked study for that I don't know what to tell you. Google is your friend I guess. As long as we're being scientific though, whose hand are we using to measure the portion in question and what weight at what level of body fat are we shooting for? And the height in question?Oh, I thought you had some data based info to support your claim.
Hand size portions, bros. Do you need them? No. Does it make things a **** ton easier when you join the big boy club and need 5k~ calories daily? Yep. Considering grains have no documented ill effect on bodies without a genetic dysfunction is it smart even if not necessary to utilize grains? Yep, unless you are dysfunctional, of course. You must have gigantic hands if you're able to hit 5k daily in broccoli and chicken breasts. Kudos, Mr. Scientist. How about you keep the bro science out of it?Okay, you keep believing your bro science.
If you believe you need calories from grains to get big, you are mistaken.
I'm not going to debate with you.

You obviously know more than Olympic nutrition coach/ registered dietician bob seebohar. My bad.
Your reading comprehension obviously sucks. As far as I know, bodybuilding isn't an olympic sport and requires an entirely different set of protocols than long distance jogging.
Building muscle requires caloric surplus. The bigger you are, the more calories are required for a surplus. At a certain point, fist sized portions won't cut it. At another level, calorie dense carbs (grains) are extremely helpful, if not technically necessary. I'm sure Seebohor is a great jogger but I don't give a **** about that.
5,000 calories is 5k calories, no matter what athlete you stick it in.
You keep getting most of your kcals from carbs.
