Haha, I give up.
Eat what you want, and if you can convince yourself that pop tarts are good for you and a nutritional benefit to your weight training goals eat them till you choke for all I care.
But deep down inside you must know that they are a nutritional nightmare full of empty carbohydrates and excess sodium, not to mention all the other rubbish![]()
You are flossing a dead horse, there is no such thing as empty carbohydrates, all carbohydrates are the same, as long as you are eating the correct macro nutrient ratios you can eat whatever you like and still not gain fat (or you can lose it, if that's your goal).
Bro science has corrupted you.
