@Zmanning89 are you now saying that you agree a calorie is just a calorie from an energy perspective, but contending that 15 grams of protein will be processed differently by the body if it comes from lean grass fed beef than if it comes from a Big Mac?
I just want to make sure I am understanding what you are saying because the quoted posts have gotten kind of mixed up (my fault on the quotes).
A calorie is a measurement of how much heat is produced when you "burn" or ignite that substance. A calorie is a unit of measurement, from an energy perspective.
But not all Sources of the "Calories" are equal in terms of Health is my point I was making.
For example Poison Spider Venom is made of Protein, our bodies would break down this protein like other sources of protein into amino acids, but this source of protein will kill us. Compared to Beef or some other source of protein, I'm saying that all Protein, or Macro nutrients for that matter are not equal on how your body would use them or the effects they have on the body.

Any professional case studies to support this claim?
Which Claim exactly ? I'm not really making a "Claim" just explaining that the goal is not to lose "weight" but rather "body fat" , as "Weight" can mean anything, like Muscle , Bone Density etc, heck I can lose weight by cutting of my leg, but most people when they say they want to lose weight they are asserting they want to lose body fat, while adding lean toned muscle.
What I want to know is how these foods know how to cut fat over muscle.
Please read what I wrote, I'm not sure which foods you are talking about ? Please elaborate on what your trying to assert. Your not making any sense.or example I could eat twinkes and Junk and still lose "Weight" but that "weight" would most of the time be my muscle and bones wasting away. While Fat would not be burning.
You can burn Fat, of course, just that your body in this state would break down more muscle than fat, due to no having enough protein to support protein synthesis. I was making an simple example to not just focus on weight, and focus more in Body Fat %
Whats with all the hostility
Seriously?!?!! Now I've heard it all!!!
Didn't you know that when you lost your weight (wasn't it over 100lbs), you only lost muscle and no fat because you ate sugar while losing?!
Yep....121 pounds!! Planning on eating poptart tonight, the chocolate peanut butter one. 
Ooh, sounds delish. You know, I've been over eating like crazy lately, and I've still never tried a poptart ice cream sandwich. Actually trying to get back on the wagon, so I guess it will still have to wait...
Haven't tried the poptart ice cream sandwich yet.0 -

A reasonable calorie deficit and not eating 800 calories per day. Quick weight loss has you motivated, but it's going to come back once you come off this diet, because you've lost water weight. It wasn't actually fat loss. Sustainable long term changes will keep you motivated, and that starts with moving more, and eating at a deficit. Women should not be netting less than 1,200 calories per day, and that's the bare minimum. I was eating 1,600 when I started, and lost weight steadily. [/quraelynnsmama52512 wrote: »

Back to op - wow! That is amazing/really quick. I have to say im pretty taken aback at how quick you lost the weight (I dont know the details of this diet) and others have commented on water loss and muscle loss which I know to be true. I am 1000% certain Ive lost muscle (Ive only just joined this) due to being very inactive/mostly bedbound due to illness. I was surprised how quickly this can happen - weeks although Ive had this illness 15 years
The bone loss hadnt quite clocked with me but now it does - although I had read online to get a good calcium supplement to prevent this it has never been explained to me.
anyway, its food its motivated you and a good start even if the weight loss slows down (which it inevitably does/will).0 -

Why does cico always boil down to eating twinkies all day. No one advocates this.
Nor did I advocate this either lol read what I said, I'm saying that losing "weight" is not always a good thing, it depends on what your body is losing (IE Body Fat, or Muscle Tissue, Bone Density etc)
I said for Example if I ate Twinkes all day , I could lose "weight" if I was in a calorie deficit, but most of the weight lost would be Water, and Muscle, and than some fat, I'm not advocating this, I'm saying to not look at it only as in CICO and "Weight" going down, but rather what type of weight is going down
- Cheers
You would lose muscle eating just broccoli all day, too.
