which is worse, fat or sugar?

Whether sugar is good or bad depends on what kind of sugar it is. If you are getting natural sugars, like fruits, milk, etc, then it's ok. You also need fat in order to sustain your body and to tell your body you're full. Take look at whether your sugars are added to the foods or natural, then see if you're still over, might want to cut back if you are.

Sugar is much worse.

Your body needs fat for brain function, cell renewal, and satiety. As long as the majority of fats that you're eating are the healthy ones .

Your body doesn't need sugar for anything. Most of what you eat is converted into glucose, and sugar is already glucose, hence why it makes your blood sugar spike; your body doesn't need much energy to digest it.

Also, if you're prone to binges, healthy fats tends to help ward off the urge

Are you sure your body doesn't need sugar for anything?

Not unless you're doing a marathon or something and need immediate energy! Carbs are sugar, just a more complex form. You don't need the literal, simple sugar for every day life is all i'm saying

both are good.

sugar

Neither in moderate amounts or in appropriate forms.

i.e. healthy fats vs non-healthy fats and fruit sugars vs added/candy sugars

Moderation! Can't be without either one..

Depends on what fits into your calorie target and macros

ETA: unless you have a medical condition, there is no point tracking sugar - just track carbs (of which sugar is a subset of)

So you'd be perfectly fine with a blood glucose level of 0?

Way to take my words and twist them into meaning something else. And I thought I was the journalist here.
Your body converts a huge percentage of what you eat into glucose. So your body CONVERTS IT INTO SUGAR ITSELF. You don't need to eat literal sugar. It's adorable that you're trolling and trying to start fights though.

"Your body doesn't need sugar for anything"

So who is twisting words, what does that mean exactly, either your body does or does not need sugar.

^^^ truth...where as fat is needed for hormone function dietary carbohydrates are not necessary... so the answer is fat is more important to eat, but both sugar and fat are good for you.

I've noticed I can easily go over on my sugar just by eating 2 fruits in a day but fruit is supposed to be good for you right? It's so confusing!

SUGAR is much WORSE than Fat

Completely agree. What it does to your body physiologically is much worse than fat. Both should be eaten in moderation, but sugar will spike you insulin. When your insulin spikes your body goes into fat storing mode and usually around your middle. Fat does not affect insulin like sugar does. It can add to your stores if eaten in large doses because your body can only process a certain amount of it at one time. So I would choose the protein shake over the yogurt. Start looking for other sugar alternatives. I use stevia and love it!
good luck

How do you store fat if you are in a calorie deficit?

If the calorie deficit is low enough your body will go into starvation mode. In this mode it will begin to store intake foods as fat anticipating the potential long term starvation. Also, when consuming high sugar foods (be the sugars in simple carbs or in raw sugar forms) it will spike insulin. At this point the body goes into a hormonal response by releasing hormones to lower the insulin. These hormones are the ones responsible for storing your food in fat stores. Basically even though there is a deficit you can still be creating fat stores. There are two types of fat and each is used differently when the body is burning fat as fuel. Without getting too scientific, this is the best I can do...

Wow.

You know, there are a lot of ways to disagree with someone and you seem to consistently do it an antagonistic and condescending way.



Congratulations

what just happened?

the human body must use sugar for something right? or is it like corn?
