On the contrary. It's not my opinion. It's a fact. Being a fact, it can be proven.
You can prove it? How, by citing studies? No, proof is not standing on the shoulders of those who study things (or claim to) and citing their own intelligence as supplement to your own.
This is why I disagree with citing studies, I've seen many a study with a ludicrous conclusion in my time, so I tend not to believe everything I read. People are fallable, and always tend to have their own personal agendas.
By your comment about "junk food", it seems you do have ideas as to which kinds of food are proper and improper to eat. If that's the case then what I'm saying is post those ideas instead of your one-to-two word advisories that equate to quick dismissal. I mean people don't even ask you what they should eat anymore I've noticed. Common sense tells them that as I said "eat more" is not the only or precise answer to accomplishing an example goal of gaining lean muscle mass.
Why?
Because it insinuates that you can stuff yourself with whatever you like. Again, this is simply not the case. There is not and never will be any reason to risk becoming diabetic, having blood-pressure problems, developing cholesterol problems or arterial blockage, or storing bodyfat as opposed to building muscle mass (because the body uses different caloric sources differently, and everyone's bodies function slightly differently usually based on genetics and what their lifestyle is like) to accomplish the simple goal of putting on muscle. There is a reason that as a rule of thumb in any form of athletics, one should adhere to a HEALTHY regimen of sources for caloric intake as opposed to whatever they set their eyes on. There is also a reason that bodybuilders (who are traditionally the most extreme athletes to go from bulking to cutting phases by drastic measures) tend to get FATTER during their off-seasons as opposed to just plain "bigger" (meaning there is no distinction between gaining either fat or muscle mass) and have to cut certain things from their caloric intake to lose the bodyfat for their shows.
If anyone with half a brain reviews your posts they would be led to believe:
1) Source of caloric intake is absolutely irrelevant if you're looking to gain muscle.
2) Times of day of eating are absolutelty irrelevant, having no effect on metabolic function.
These things are simply misleading, wether you have one or two studies that back them or not is not the point. In dealing with this issue on a daily basis and seeing people who cannot figure out for the life of them why they can't gain more muscle and lose more fat when their caloric intake, rest cycles, and training regimens are sufficient...and it comes down to the simple fact that the sources of their calories is the problem, I simply can't let this kind of thing fly.
