All calories are not =
If for example I eat high fat high sugar diet versus a diet of low fat low sugar I can not eat as many calories. So yes the amount of calories you can eat will change based on what type of foods you are eating.
This does not mean I can't lose weight eating a high fat high sugar diet it just means I can't eat as many calories doing it.
Also, an inch is not an inch and a degree centigrade is not a degree centigrade.
I'm pretty sure you would still eat the same number of CALORIES, you just wouldn't be able to eat as much food if you were doing the whole high-fat, high-sugar thing, surely?
All calories are equal. Pretty sure that's true. But most people choose to eat foods with less calories in so they can eat more and feel fuller, and they are usually more nutritiously beneficial.

Again you can eat less calories eating certain foods. It doesn't mean you can't lose weight eating anything, you can. It simply means you can't eat as much of it.
Calories in-calories out =how many calories you can eat to lose weight
It is a great equation, but in that equation the variables calories in have sub variables as well as there are sub variables in the calorie out equation that will change the answer.
So you're saying that you can eat more calories if you eat certain foods? Which foods are these?
And are you arguing that they aren't in salads?0 -
@robbackatya I'm completely with you on this one.. But I guess most people are talking about WEIGHTLOSS and not HEALTH.. Weightloss, yeah. CICO and *kitten*. Health, on the other hand, is a different story..
Sure, I can eat Mcdo everyday for one meal and those will be my 1200 kcal for that day. But I rather have breakfast with oatmeal, a banana and raspberries and nice roasted veggies with some meat as lunch, some fruit and nuts as a snack and zuchinni pasta with fish and veggies for dinner as my 1200 kcal for one day (my diary from yesterday). But not everyone thinks like that..0 -
you guys realize the OP won't be back right...just thought I would put that out there.0

I agree. I have some of that issue too. But I have to figure that I am still healthier than I was. I am losing inches and gaining strength but the scale is not my friend right now. I feel ya.

1 and a half pages until OP declared everyone mean, took her salads and went home. *shrug*
2 pages until the "NOT ALL CALORIES ARE CREATED EQUAL!" argument started.
This dumpster fire is coming along quite nicely.0 -

Can you please post some scientific evidence to back up your claim.
If you cannot do this, I will have to suggest you start taking some laxatives because you're full of *kitten*.-5 -
Who are these all calories aren't equal people arguing against? I'm trying desperately to figure this out.0

But he IS talking about weight loss, not health. He is saying, I believe, that if people eat certain foods they can actually consume more calories than people who eat other foods.
Who are these people who are wanting to eat one meal instead of spreading it out throughout a day? I see lots of people talking about their intake here and I don't know of anyone who regularly eats one 1,200 calorie meal (unless it is part of an IF-style plan).0 -

One of these days I'm going to make a post about how I didn't lose weight until I dropped salads from my diet (technically true, 'cause salads suck without dressing, and dressing just isn't worth the calories to me) and added two servings of ice cream every night after 10pm... XD0

Reading this thread makes me think my fever has relapsed.0

Could you please point out (quote) all of the posts that are attacks?
I don't see a single attack, just questions requesting more information so they appropriate advice could be given.
Saying "I can't lose weight" without any details and asking for help on how to fix the problem is like asking how to fix a computer without telling people whether you run iOS or Windows. People need more information than that.0 -

Umm my diet is has completely not health wise but guess what. MY blood work came back and everything has improved. Health wise I am in the best shape of my life and still eat whatever in moderation. I guess weight loss also takes care of my health?0 -
