Eat Fat, Not Thin


There is a popular series of books that started as a spot in Men's Health magazine called Eat This, Not That that compares menu items to determine which is healthier and which is worse for you. On slow news days, morning shows like to trot out examples from the newest edition and make twisty O faces as they learn that the fish tacos are actually more fattening than the burger, or some such thing. I almost used that exact title for this post but didn't want to steal. It's unfortunate, because Anna Karenina would have been so appropriate for this post.

I don't necessarily believe in being so prescriptive but understand that a bit of guidance goes a long way. One of the most common questions I see out there in the gainerverse, particularly from guys starting out, is What should I eat to gain? This post will once and for all answer that question**, ultimately and conclusively.

EAT THIS
* Whatever you want
* Whatever you'll eat a lot of
* Whatever's nearby
* Your vegetables

NOT THAT
* Everything else
* Things to which you're allergic
* Food that's not yours
* Glue

** Or not.
