im an athlete and i eat over 7000 calories a day and run through 3 pints of ben jerrys ice cream, so what is so bad about i need to get my calories from somewhere and ice cream is the easiest.Why do people say ice cream is bad for you i run through 3 pints a day of ben jerrys everyday?
Because calories from fat and sugar are alot different than calories from protein and carbs. Would you put half gasoline and half water in the tank of your Ferrari? Sure, it would run, but not very well. If you were a true athlete, you wouldn't be eating three pints of ice cream per day.Why do people say ice cream is bad for you i run through 3 pints a day of ben jerrys everyday?
When you're an athlete and you do serious training you can pretty much eat what you want. Marathon runners eat what they want otherwise they would waste away from exercising 3 plus hours a day. It depends how much you are running. If you're not putting on weight it's fine although steaks and pasta would be healthier than all that sugar and saturated fat
it's not necessarily the best way to get calories.... the amount of fat and such that is in icecream is what's bad for you-
i would suggest getting your calories from non-junk food. eat more meats, veggies and fruits.
the amount of sugar in the icecream can also mess up your insulin levels/blood sugar levels. this can effect your performance as an athlete with the sugar spikes and averything...

yeah, you may need a great amount of calories to be able to do what you are doing as an athlete- but getting your calories from healthy food will help you improve your performance
