They are both on a calorie DEFICIT but bob is only getting the minimum required of .8g protein per pound of bw and the rest of his calories are coming from PURE SUGAR. Sam on the other hand is getting all his calories from "clean and natural produce(nothing man made or factory made) and 1g protein per pound bw(so fruit sugars are basically his only primary source of sugars). As these subjects are both in a deficit, what effect does the pure sugar vs the natural products have on the subjects. My assumption AT FIRST was that bob would lose fat but more muscle due to a need for protein but thats why i made sure in this experiment he would get the minimum requirement. And that Sam would also lose fat but retain muscle due to CICO following his required protein. So the dilemma is, would Bob lose less fat... or even possibly GAIN fat because of his huge amounts of sugar?(let's just go with 300g so basically 1200 calories from pure sugar and the rest from protein to make up for the average deficit of 1800-2000 calories).
Would love to hear some genuine responses to this scenario. I'm interested in maybe studying nutrition in the future so this might be of use haha
This is a hypothetical scenario, not an experiment. Because it only exists in our imagination (an experiment is something done in real life to learn how things work), anything can happen. So my answer is neither of them will lose any fat because aliens will come down out of the sky, see how bad things are in 2020, and blow the planet up as an act of mercy.12
