This is absolutely right! I am proof that you CAN gain even when in a calorie deficit. I was counting calories and working my butt off and not losing. WHAT you eat is a lot more important than HOW much you eat. If I am eating too many carbs I just can not lose weight...even if I am under my calorie goal. Its taken a lot of trial and error to learn this.
this is mathematically and metaphysically impossible...
I am guess you did not use a food scale and assumed you were in a deficit..either that or you have some food allergy that you are not aware of...4 -

Oh boy, I'm 15 pages late into this conversation......
It doesn't.
A surplus of food makes us fat.
I was fat my entire adulthood eating little or no added sugar, and I've lost weight and successfully kept it off having adding sugar in my diet.
Why do you think sugar makes you fat?
S'Okay. We got dis.
S'Okay....excellent to hear!

if you are in an energy deficit it is used for bodily functions ....you can't gain weight/fat in a deficit of calories, period.1 -

I love chocolate covered almonds. Pret sells them in a 220 calorie serving sizes with a dark, milk, and white chocolate mix (I like the dark chocolate ones the best). Of the 220 calories, 80 are from sugar, and 126 are from fat. These are pretty high sugar example of chocolate-covered almonds, but they were an easy source and I do enjoy them occasionally.
Curious why you thought of us, but since chocolate covered almonds are delicious, I will assume that we are associated with positive, joyful experiences!
Chocolate covered almonds are my kryptonite. I am eternally grateful that the dark chocolate (the only ones worth eating, imo) from my easiest source to grab decent ones, Trader Joes, have a cross-contamination warning on the label so I can't eat them.
I'll likely seek some out around Christmas. I always associate chocolate covered nuts with Christmas. When I was growing up, we always had a box of Whitman's chocolate covered nuts out on the cookie buffet all season. They were my favorite. I'm also fond of chocolate covered Brazil nuts. The fat to sugar ratio on those must be even higher.

The more dark, the better. I am eagerly awaiting my roasted brewing cocoa beans. I think I'll like that bitter bite of coffee, but with the flavor of chocolate instead. It's only about 10 calories a cup too. I have a milk frother and can make lattes with it. There's no caffeine (or very little). I might be indulging quite a bit as the weather turns colder.0 -

I've been trying to cut down on caffeine, and it's a great alternative to black coffee. I agree that I don't need chocolate to be sweet and often tend to prefer the kinds (like the brewed beans or very dark chocolate, especially with nuts) that isn't at all. It's still addictive (except not really, you know what I mean). ;-)0 -

@andreakreymborg welcome to MFP forums.
Sugar and processed carbs also makes my fuel gauge read EMPTY all the time.
I would be interested hear from anyone that can eat until they are full that can gain more 6 pounds in the next 6 months eating no sugar and no more than 50 grams of whole carbs daily.

Considering fats don't fill me up, I could easily do that. Just because you can't do something, doesn't mean others can't. I got fat from high amounts of fats in my diet... especially meat.3 -

Good point. One would have to eat under 100 grams of protein daily as well to keep from jacking up one's glucose levels.

Will, I gained 2 pounds in 2 weeks of sub 20 gram carb intake no sugar. I was struggling and failing to just keep to maintenance calories because portions are tiny and I absolutely need starches for satiety. Without them I can eat until there is no room in my stomach anymore, but still feel hungry somehow.3 -

While that sounds like hell to me and I don't run pointless experiments on my body, here's an example of a LCHF day in the portions it would take for me to feel moderately full:
3 eggs, scrambled with milk and cheese, cooked in oil, 2 slices of bacon: 550 calories
6 oz pork loin w/ roasted broccoli topped with parmesan: 450 calories
2 oz cashews: 320 calories
6 oz salmon w/ leeks, pan-fried in butter, served with wine: 650 calories
Total: 1970 calories, 46g carbs
My TDEE: 1800 calories
Would gain about 8 lbs in 6 months if I ate like that every day. Now, cook with less fat, replace the bacon with a tortilla, skip the snack of cashews, and add rice with dinner? I'm under my TDEE and much more satiated... Which is why I eat the way I do.5 -

I have news for you...most vegetarians and vegans and people who otherwise follow a substantively plant based diet eat a lot of carbs...why aren't all of these people morbidly obese?
Also, you can't make something from nothing...you can't store fat as energy if you're in a deficiency of energy.6 -

Raises hand! I gained weight eating until I was full eating less than 50 grams of net carbs a day.
I gained over 20 pounds eating until I was full during a stressful time because fat doesn't sate me and I can really pound down a lot of egg salad, cheese, and chicken legs.
Oh, and there was a concoction with whipped cream and jello and full fat cottage cheese I was fond of eating like crazy too.4 -

Glucose level's aren't even a part of this conversation. And lets not even get into CKD or TKD diets for bulking as that is too advance for the discussion.3 -

I doubt I put on 20 pounds because I was eating too much protein.
I tend to think that since mayonnaise (in the egg salad), cheese, and whipping cream were big players in my most frequent indulgences, a good part of my calories were coming from fat.4 -

You know for a fact that it does not do that. You have been shown the studies multiple times. Under isocalorie and euprotein, while in a metabolic chamber, than EE was only temporarily increased due to the additional metabolic requirement to produce ketones, which then tapered off quickly.16 -

You mean authoritynutrion.com is lying to us by showing you all the LCHF vs HCLF that don't hold protein steady and have shown an increase in EE, even though protein has been demonstrated over and over to be a thermogenic... I am shocked!6 -

Blood sugar spikes then deep valleys spur on hunger (at least in some of us) Cutting out those foods that cause your blood sugar to spike helps you keep an even blood sugar level. So when you *crash* after a sugar surge and you eat more you eat more than you truly need.
I have seen it in my self. I have noticed that when I eat 2 boiled eggs for breakfast I can make it to lunch without feeling like I'm going to knaw my arm off. BUT when I have a piece of pumkin bread from Sbux or a croisant, you can set your watch on it, 2 hours later I will be hungry again.
I prefer *not* to have to play this mental strength game with my body. I find foods that satisfy me for longer periods of time and I don't get hungry and I don't over eat except when in social situations. For me the foods that satisfy the most are protein rich foods. I am *not* one of those people that can eat large amounts of fiber and have it satisfy me. I have tried. Meat, cheese, nuts and fruit keep me from feeling hungry meal to meal. That's why those kind of diets work for me.
Falling off the wagon and eating sugar for me is like a newly recovered Alcoholic walking into a bar. It's ugly and generally inadvisable. I can't explain it and I know so many on here will tout how ridiculous these theories are. BUT Know thy self, and to thine own self be true.
If you are hungry 2hrs after eating 200 calories of starchy carbs but 4hrs after eating 200 calories after eating protien & fat you're totally chill guess what that means for you... Stay The F* away from sugar and starch

You know for a fact research has been posted on MFP that it does do that. In nutrition ketosis ketone production doesn't taper off.
