it's not just the calorific concentration though, trans fats have been shown to increase LDL cholesterol levels, which causes CHD. i will try to link some studies when i get home.
again, trans fats aren't present to any significant level in natural foods. they are man-made, usually as a cheap substitute for animal fats.
Usually weetabix or porridge with honey, cup of tea and a slice of brown bread for breakfast.
Lunch usually a sandwich/roll either white or brown with ham, cheese, coleslaw and a packet of crisps. Cup of tea and large glass of milk.
Dinner varies a lot but always with a pint of milk.
Spag bol (home made)
Roast chicken with spuds, veg
Tagine with lots of veg and cous cous
Steak and home made oven chips
Steak burger (home made)
Omelette
Stews
However it all goes pear shaped if I go out for the night. Meals then consist of chinese, pizza, chips, cola, sausage rolls etc.
My training consists of Junior B/C football once or twice a week. 6 a side soccer once or twice a week and a run in lieu of a game of ball. I try to keep in decent shape for what I do sportwise but in reality I am often several lbs overweight. Milk and crisps are big calorie hitters, as is the beer.
A couple of small tweaks would make a big difference but a man gotta live too..

I'd have a similar outlook to yourself but it's hard to keep going with the junior soccer beyond the mid 30s unless you're lean as a whippet.

Yes but companies basically replaced the 'bad' fats with sugar which is what causes more problems
Ya I remember reading about high fructose corn syrup in nearly everything in the States. That mixed with most peoples less active lifestyles is meant to be a big cause . Basically you dont want to be sucking on a Gatorade all day while playing Medal of Honour
