re: Low Fat Diet Is Allegedly Wrong According to Report

quote:

never understood 2 things:

1. calorie content of bacon. is that if you eat it raw? i mean when i'm done i have a stick of beef jerky..how many calories are honestly left in it?

2. nuts. sometimes i swallow the occasional peanut whole and it comes right out..perfectly intact. so how in the frick do those calories get counted? nuts seems to go through your system mainly unscathed.

you are way way overthinking things man.

A) measure all foods raw
b) it isnt an exact science, you will have to play around with your calorie intake to really find what your maintenance is.

just make smart choices, keep your protein high and log everything. if you are gaining weight and want to lose, eat less. if its the opposite, eat more. if you are losing and want to lose, do nothing. its not that damn hard.

and skinny fat refers to those that would be considered skinny by normal standards yet have very little muscle, are not ripped in any way and usually have a small gut.
