    It's simple mathematics. Calories in.. Calories out. Period.

    So if I eat a 300 calorie donut verses a 300 calorie chicken breast and it's in my calorie goal will I still lose weight?

    Now THAT is a great question! Those are equivalent for weight loss purposes. A typical donut has somewhere between 300-500 calories. Possibly more if it has filling etc. For chicken breast, that's eight or nine ounces to get you to 300 calories.

    Eight ounces of chicken breast will keep you feeling more full and satisfied and energized far, far longer than a 300 calorie donut.


    Regardless, a calorie is a calorie. So if you eat donuts all day to get by, you'll need a lot probably. If you eat chicken breasts, not so much.

    Genetic factors increase our appetities, up to 70% of the population are effected by it (Exeter Uni, Science Daily, Sep 12, 2012).

    HOWEVER we ALL control what we eat. Not as simple as merely calories because genetic and social factors effect us.
