Weight gain and loss is SIMPLE

Not bad, a few things bugged me about it.
3500 calories is only equal to a pound in terms of fat, not just in general.
It's better to have people work deficits and surpluses in percentages rather than just saying 500 calories
A 20% fat macro definitely seems low, dietary fat is very important, in fact breaking down macros by percentages at all is flawed
Good video though, it was entertaining.
I think that I understood more of what the video said than what you just said. I liked the video. For us that do not understand the "macro" terminology and what that means, I do understand "lift weights and eat enough fiber".
What she said ^^^^ And dude has eyes like Adrian Paul, he had me at hello! lol I shall eat my fiber!!! :bigsmile:0 -

Yes, you can eat anything and gain or lose weight based on these principles, HOWEVER, the number of calories listed for different foods is an estimate and is not very scientifically based on how the body approaches the food. Some foods are more thoroughly digested than others. In fact, most calorie estimates are based on figures from the USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference (http://www.ars.usda.gov/nutrientdata).
The USDA analyzes samples of products and determines their amount of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates (minus insoluble fiber). It determines calories by using the Atwater ratio of 4-9-4. In other words, 4 kilocalories for each gram of protein, 9 kilocalories for each gram of fat, and 4 kilocalories for each gram of carbohydrates (minus insoluble fiber). Manufacturers generally use the information from the USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference (http://www.ars.usda.gov/nutrientdata) to determine the calories in their foods. For more info see http://www.ars.usda.gov/Main/docs.htm?docid=6233#4-9-4
I worry about the people who think, indeed, it is wise to eat anything they want because if they restrict calories they will loose weight. What you eat affects your health and your health affects your ability to process food and nutrients. So, yes, indeed, you can totally avoid all vegetables except french fries and lose weight but you will not be a healthy puppy long term. You could also consume most of your calories as beer and lose weight but end up in real physical trouble.
So, I would still add the healthy plate to this from http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/

Yikes.. don't worry, she'll learn. But remember, if she is under maintenance with fried chicken and onion rings she will still lose weight. Doubtful though, very high calorie foods right there.Lol you're a bronie bro?
