As where the "clean" meal has more nutrients that will actually feed your body, helping to it function better. A lot of people who are obese are actually found to have malnutrition because they eat empty calories and are constantly hungry because their body's aren't being fed properly. I'm not saying never ever eat a doughnut, or fries or what have you, but to say that it's the same as a banana is wrong.
Why does it have to be 500 calories of fries, vs a 500 calorie meal, though? Can't we do a 500 calorie meal (with a side of fries) vs a 500 calorie "clean" meal? Wouldn't that be a more accurate comparison?

What's unclean about fries?0 -

True, but my brain tells me not to stop at one donut, but I can easily stop at one banana. And the banana is also more nutritious than a donut and doesn't make me fall asleep an hour later.
Oh, my brain used to tell me not to stop at a lot of things. Like second helpings. Another part of my brain is very effective at telling it to go stuff itself now that I'm conscious of how many calories I'm consuming and want to lose weight.
It's nice when you take control of your food instead of letting yourself labor under the illusion that food has control over you.

because moderation always = 500 calories of 100% fries, donuts, insert bad food here….0 -
In for "a unit of measurement isn't equal to a unit of measurement" fallacy.

Clean eating? That's like, only going to restaurants with an A rating from the Health Department, right?

In the context of a days worth of food, calorie dense foods have less of an ability to deliver those nutritional needs, but that has nothing to do with the actual nutrition value differences in food, whether deemed good or bad, it's all about context and dosage.....it really can't be that hard to understand, could it?ForecasterJason wrote: »
Agreed. I don't think anyone's saying that it's bad to eat a doughnut.

Well if we focus on strictly calories, I have no problems whatsoever understanding the scientific concept that a calorie is a calorie. It's just like any other unit of measure. I'm pretty sure I learned this concept in school a long time ago.

Clean foods cause a rainbow explosion of health and happiness inside your body, causing you to poop glitter and gardens, while chemikillz from junk cause your body to do science, which makes it tired and your liver falls out of your butt when you go to bathroom?

I guess it's when we talk about food and calories together is where people have a problem. Even after you saying you do understand this post pretty much confirms you don't at all.ForecasterJason wrote: »

You can call Meowth a scratch cat if you want to irritate her.

Sorry. I thought Meowth was feline Pokemon and that feline was used as it is in the world outside of Pokemon. My brain Pokedex is limited to the cartoon series and 3 movies. Also apologies for not having the accent on the e. My English keyboard can't handle such Frenchness.

When I get back from the veggie market (don't worry, I will only buy stuff with mud attached to maintain my status as a dirty eater) I expect this thread to be at least 7 pages long, and 50% cat gifs.0

Well admittedly I'm not exactly up to snuff on Pokemon rules...maybe it IS a cat. I thought Pokemon were supposedly an entirely different 'species' all together. I'll ask her when I get home tonight.
