I think it is because corn as a lot of sugar in it.

As for corn, I only like it when it is still on the cob.

I've never heard that corn is bad for bodybuilders and I'm not believing it either.

They use corn to fatten cattle. It causes that cool 'marbled' look to the meat.

So, unless you want to become a fat cow, stay away from an assload of corn.

Okay, there is always the exception and that is if you have a very hard time putting on size. Then corn is okay.

fl8meplz thats crazy. It is the amount of food the cows eat not what they eat. They like corn more than hay so they eat more of it.

Just read the nutrition label on corn, it isn't that bad at all. I love making a healthy gumbo with corn, green beans, okra, chicken, habenjeros, and some tomatos. Healthy and good for a lean meal.

It isn't so much that corn is 'bad', it is just not the best vegetable choice!
I mean if you are bulking then go ahead and eat up, but if you are in contest prep, then I would say stay away from a lot of it.

BY the way, who here like creamed corn?
I have not had it in a long time, but I used to love it as a kid!!

I thought corn was good since it has good deal of fiber in it.

Corn is only bad if it is eaten out of my poo.

Is this the voice of experience speaking?

Probably haven't had it in 20 years, but yeah, creamed corn is great when you're a kid. Especially with a little butter.

You want an instant trip back to when you were six years old? Peanut butter and saltines!

No, some things you just intuitively know.

 

[SMACKAVELI]

Damn. I love korn too.

I think corn is pretty high on the GI?? that in itself would not make it a good choice if your trying to get lean.

F.

I hate to disagree with you somewhat on this. I am from cow country so I do know something about this. Pasture fed beef is always leaner than grain fed beef. Yeah cows do like corn, but they like alfalfa, fescue, clover too. By changing the feed of cattle you change the lean/fat ratio of resulting cuts. Add more corn - get higher percentage of marbled beef.

Corn is great as long as you are bulking. Stay away if your goal is leanness.
