re: Low Fat Diet Is Allegedly Wrong According to Report

Why don't you explain the thermodynamics of digestion and metabolism? You sure like to use the word "thermodynamics" when talking about nutrition, but I have never seen you explain it (I may have missed it).

Further, can you explain how the calorie, which is the amount of energy required to raise one gram of water one degree celsius (food calories are kcal), fits into energy production, storage, and expenditure of the human body?

K, thx, l8r

i dunno if rocket can explain this or not, I can as I do have an engineering degree, but I won't explain it in the detail you are asking for.

simply put in the terms of weight loss and weight gain, we are referring to the first law of thermo. Simply if we consume an energy source it cant be destroyed only stored or used and that to lose weight you must burn more energy than you consume.

this isn't 100% though as not all calories are EXACTLY the same. I.E. some calories, like those from protein, take more energy to process than others from something like carbs.

But again in the grand scheme of things the amount you are burning extra is so minuscule that the normal non competitive bodybuilder does not need to or have to worry about it.bottom line is calories in vs calories out works everytime, might take a while to figure out TDEE, but it always works.

People who says calories in vs calories out don't work are lying to themselves about what and how much they are eating.
