What will make you fatter...?

Well, if you believe a mouse model is applicable to humans, then +1000 calories of fat might reduce glucose use dramatically, compared to +1000 calories of CHO, and this glucose would presumably be converted for storage.

I reckon its the same
but only good carbs versus good fat
or bad carbs versus transfatty wotnot
one good v one bad - you possibly gain more from the bad one0 -
I'm going with neither. Also, I feel depressed just thinking about eating 1000 extra calories of anything. I have problems.0

My knowledge, up to this point, would leave me to believe that it doesn't not matter.
ETA, this is where my knowledge comes from:

Woah! some science, I like your line of thinking though. Only issue with rats and cho consumption is that they are much more efficient then humans at DNL0 -
Let's assume you are currently maintaining on 2,000 calories a day 50/30/20 C/F/P and you were to overeat consistently by 1,000 calories of either pure carbs or pure fat, which would make you fatter, or would there be no difference and why?
Curious as to what people think. I've seen people state that anything over 15g of cho in a meal will be stored as fat or that fat makes you fat etc etc. So which is worse to overeat, carbs or fats or does it not matter?
What an odd question. I have no idea what the answer for the general population would be, but I'm pretty sure the carbs would make me fatter because if I ate 1000 calories of pure fat I'd probably hurl it right back up. :sick:
A couple of olive oil shots or mixed into a shake and sure you would barely notice
I don't drink shakes but I'm pretty sure I'd notice a shot of olive oil. Actually for the answer I think it might depend on the type of carbs. If I ate a huge amount of fiber for the carbs and we assume I could keep the fat down, I'd probably absorb more calories from the fat since fiber passed through without being absorbed. So the fat would likely make me gain more.0 -
Carbs, because they would inevitably have gluten, to which I am terribly intollerant. So, while it would give me a month of "the runs", I know it would still make me more bloated . . . giving me gurth.0

On paper, I'd say the fat makes you fatter because carbs have a higher TEF.
In reality, the results would probably be about the same.0 -
Assuming no metabolic issues, I would expect them to be reasonable close to the same.0
-
I'm going with neither.
It's the caloric surplus that will make you fatter.0 -
I would tend to think that for only 30 days, they would be about the same. But I would think that a continued experiment with either would eventually lead to metabolic derangement as weight increased. I would think at that point the excess carbohydrate would be worse. But in the absence of metabolic derangement, I would assume they would net the same results.0

you can't gain fat on a calorie surplus if you're doing tae bo.0
-
I would say not much of a difference .. Calories in calories out , Although Carbs and Fats play different roles depends how your body uses them0
-
It depends on the quality of the fat and carb, the total would be the same0
-
Wouldn't it depend on if 100% of the calories from both are actually absorbed by the body? and which set of calories takes more calories to process?0

If we're talking 1000 calories of just carbs, would gluten be an issue? Gluten is a protein, isn't it?0 -
1000 cal excess = 1000 cal excess .......bottom line0
-
I'm going to say the carbs, specifically because of the insulin spikes and storage factor. But, anything over maintenance is superfluous and would make you fatter anyway. So both. :0P But I think you'd be bi&$%ier eating the surplus carbs (sugar highs and lows) and less able to actually eat 1000 SURPLUS calories of pure fat. Fat is filling.
