Chipotle you could eat healthy with.. rice and veggies and protein... hold the sauces and you got yourself a decent meal

At the end of the day, these nikkas must be eating 3 or 4 times what they need to eat...
I wasn't talking about health eating, I was moreso on the quality of eating. Dollar menu eating stopped a long time ago for me. I couldn't imagine being a millionaire rating Mickey d's everyday.

As far as chipotles, I doubt how I like mines is healthy. I asked for dbl steak, both rice, onions and green peppers, mild and spicy, mucho cheese, corn, and lettuce. Black beans sometimes but I also do no beans a lot. No sour cream.

You're not burning that much. Think about how much time you're spending standing waiting for calls, free throws etc. Some guys run more than others, but you're only burning 3-600 calories depending on how many minutes you play. See some of those dudes probably thought like you did and ate a lot more thinking "oh I'll burn it off" and they gain weight.
Not to mention the guys that only give effort on one side of the court.

Harden probably gains calories when he plays defense

The really fat dudes like Stanley Roberts Oliver Miller types don't really exist anymore...The last player close to that level of sloppyness I saw was Boris Diaw in Phoenix...

But the answer is they have to eat an obscene amount of calories and carbs probably late at night right before they go to sleep...Like whole cheesecakes at the Ritz Carlton after road games...

Man you should hear the stories about what Shaq and Barkley used to eat during the season. When Shaq was at LSU he would drink a 2 liter of Hawain Punch after every practice...All that running in the world can't shake that carb intake..

I know cats who puttting away 2 liters like its nothing, imagine a giant like shaq. But it is also pretty easy to over eat and most big guys turn into big slobs

I dont consider Melo out of shape. He's just not toned. Paul Pierce has been the same way for a while too. No defenition whatsoever.

If you ride the bench like Diaw, you're not burning those kind of calories.

If you're in your 20s, and out of shape, there aint no excuse for that in the league. But you see a 100X, when players get old, and just let themselves go after their metabolism slows down. If you have good genes, like David Robinson did all the way until retirement, they still look like body buildrs in their late 30s.

David Robinson is an unfair comparison. Dude was chizzled without even trying. His body type is the type that doesnt hold weight easily

Chipotles without cheese is criminal
:scusthov: @ cheese

Only thing i tolerate cheese on is pizza and lasagna. Otherwise if you put cheese on my shyt we're fighting because I always say "no cheese". :stopitslime:

Cant stand it on sandwiches 90% of the time. Do not come near me with cheese fries because just the sight of it makes me wanna throw up. Whoever invented cheese fries and cheese dips should be shot execution style IMO
