(Clean vs Dirty)
Sirloin Beef steak compared with Mc Donald's cheese burger
Sirloin Steak
Calories (187): Consisting of 187 calories, which is a very good amount to add towards your overall calorie increase during your bulk.
Fat(6.63g): Low but necessary fat content of the steak will contribute to the fat intake you will need to increase while bulking. Fats are used as a secondary source of energy after carbohydrates stores are used up.
Carbs (0g): Providing 0g of carbohydrates, consuming this with a good source, such as sweet potato, as the main carbohydrate within a meal.
Protein (29.81g): Beef is extremely high in protein and with a sirloin steak providing approximately 29.81g it is an ideal source of protein to be consumed during a structured bulk.
Cheese Burger
Calories (263): Higher in calories compared to the sirloin steak so takes up a larger chunk of your over calories intake for the day if you are counting your calories while bulking. However these are still a great way to increase your bulking calories and provide your body with a good amount of protein for such a small snack sized item.
Fat (12g): Boasting a slightly higher fat content than he sirloin steak, consumption of cheese burgers will have to be kept at a controlled limit if you are trying keep weight and body fat storage gain to a minimum.
Carbs (28g): More than likely due to the bun, and added ingredients used within the burger itself, carbohydrate content is also high. Again managing the intake of cheese burgers is advised to prevent excess weight gain through fat storage. However, these extra carbohydrates do mean more energy is available to expend when training so not all is negative.
Protein (13g): Lower protein content compared to that of he sirloin steak would lead me to advice this a snack you would consume as a gap filler during he day to make up the necessary calories required. Providing 13g of protein per serving, cheese burgers still have their positives to add towards a successful muscle bulking cycle.
So what are your thoughts on the two?
