hypothetical question: So you're at a party...

[jojo77]

...and you just finished working out but didn't get a chance to eat yet. At this party there are 4 items for you to eat.

1) greasy chicken wings
2) normal chips and dip
3) carrot and celery sticks
4) normal crackers and cheese

You can choose to eat nothing but you won't be able to eat anything else for the next 4 hours. So which one of these would be the least damaging food for you to eat and why?

I think we've all been in situations like this and ended pigging out on something. I just want the experts to give me their choice.

I would kit # 1, the chicken wings, or #4 and toss the crackers. I'm on a CKD right now.

I'd hit up the chicken wings and count it as a cheat day. At least that has the highest protein content. Chips are full of hydrogenated fat, carrots and cellery sticks have negligable protein, crackers may also have hydrogenated fat. Cheese would be ok except it has a lot of saturated fat.

#1 and find a sink to wash it off

Atta boy!

There you go, make sure and wash any crap off that may be in the sauce on those wings.

 

[Sydneyboy]

Definately number 1- the greasy chicken wings. Better still duck out and grab a protein bar or shake if possible! Protein would be the best choice.

Atta boy!

what i do is get a serviete, place greasy chicken on a plate or in my hand on the serviete and then for 5 or so minutes just inconspicuously squeeze the chicken os the serviete has absorbed the grease lol

Why would you be at a party RIGHT after a workout? Couldn't you eat something at home while showering first?

To answer the question, clearly the chicken wings.

u learn something new everyday, i didnt really realise it was a word pertinent to the british culture, rather i thought it would be French

If you were on a low carb diet, you could eat the chicken, the cheese, and celery. You'd probably want to avoid the carrots, chips, and dip. The celery is a good pick b/c it will fill you up so you dont get wild with the chicken and cheese.

 

[anthrax]

as you said it is a hypothetical question since you must always carry a can of tuna with you at a party

 

[MissChris]

Ideally, I'd eat prior to going, then while there I'd eat all the celery I wanted, drink a lot of water, and maybe take a bit of cheese - then eat a good meal as soon as I got out of there. Even if you can pick the skin off the chicken, if it's deep fried or cooked in lord-knows-what-oils, and marinated in unknown sauces in addition to the basting sauce, I personally would leave it alone if I were dieting.

carrot and celery sticks, to satasfy my self.

greasy chicken wings are disgusting, as is the rest of the food.

eating carrots and celery will be least damaging.

 

[sawastea]

Normally, on greasy items, I'll get either napkins or paper towls and pad off any excess grease. Obviously this won't eliminate all the fat, though I've heard on numerous occasions that it will go down about 10% (err 10% less fat)

Any truth behind this?

 

[Slyder190]

No problem

Plan ahead and bringa PW drink and you can avoid having to even make that decision. I bring food and drink almost everywhere, and if i can't I eat on a shdule that has my last meal eaten right before I go out somewhere, so that when the engagement is over it's time to eat again.

 

[E23]

i eat #1 everyday

 

[E23]

right now I'm finishing up 3 pounds of microwaved bacon and i'm not on a keto diet.. the fat is flying off me. about a month ago i got measured at 15% i now have a visible 6-pack, im going for all 8 though, i down to my last four thick slices of bacon and im washing it down with a diet coke, looking good never tasted so good

Forget it all. Eat the hostess!

 

[DrBones]

Damnit... I need to eat chicken wings now....
If you havnt guessed... I'd pick #1

Well, unless she is a squirter, their isn't going to be a great deal of volume to that meal.

All 4 items and then whatever else was edible! Personally I dont grow off of lean foods. =)
