fat vs sugar

I'd go with fudge every day, lol.0

But fudge has fat, and fries have carbs? How about Skittles and butter? But old Skittles. None of that green apple bull****.0

simple answer: dip your fries in your frosty . . . that way you can have your fat and eat your sugar too (without even missing out on the salt).0

It's not good to consume either, if they are separated from their original source, and eaten in concentration. But it is easier to consume larger amounts of calories from fat because fat is more dense.0

It depends on a bunch of factors, including what the rest of your diet looks like, your activity level and hormonal factors.

Assuming this is just a rhetorical question posed out of curiosity, I'm going to say fat. JMO0

I believe it was questions like these that created the "IIFYM" acronym otherwise known as flexible dieting.
p.s. I only eat sugar out of sugar cane.0 -
IF the calorie count is identical, is it better to eat fats or sugars? ie. fudge vs fries
Better in what way? I personally feel better and find it easier to stay within my calorie goal eating more fat and less sugar. Fat is very satiating for me.
I don't eat fries often though, because I don't consider white potatoes much different than sugary foods. But things like peanut butter, nuts, avocado are great. And I cook almost everything in extra virgin olive oil, and make my own salad dressing using it as well.
I haven't given up sweets, but they are treats, not dietary staples. And except for occasions I try to eat sweets that include fat, protein or fiber. For example, I have cocoa roast almonds almost every night after dinner as "dessert". If I make cookies I usually make oatmeal peanut butter cookies or put nuts in them.0 -
People can still consume oils and sugar, and still be healthy in spite of this. I would just prefer to be honest with myself about those items; they are not health promoting foods, they are health compromising foods.
And people eat 500 calories of oil without realizing it all the time. A large order of fries is already about 300 calories just from the oil.0 -

I am not convinced how health compromising oils and sugars are in the context of an otherwise healthy diet.0 -

That was my question as well.
I am not sure how these would be harmful in an otherwise balanced diet (assuming no medical conditions of course). If the diet is not balanced - then it's the diet's 'fault' and not the food source.0 -

1 cup of crisco or lard

more sugar, vanilla instead of water and maybe a dash of milk and what you have there is frosting.
So, yeah.
There really wouldn't be any deleterious effects.

I like frosting. I don't like buttholes.0 -

Considering 1 cup of crisco is about 2,000 calories of pure fat and 1/2 cup sugar is about 400 calories of pure carbs, I highly doubt that people would say that eating that every day would not have a negative impact.
