Now this is something my doctor was at war with my nutricionist about so I would love to hear your opinions. Do the quality of calories count? I know if all you do is drink alchohol you will not gain weight, just get sick. Could you get fat off of eating mostly vegetables? If all your calories were starch, would you gain weight? Do the qualities of the calories matter? I know some will say yes and some no but I wanted to hear what you guys have to say about it??

I believe they do since there are certain foods like broccoli and garlic that are known to speed up the metabolism. Protein also helps. Anyone else want to weigh in??0
