A man in the UK, Sam Fetham, has done a series of 21 day expiriments. In this expiriment he decided to cut his calorie intake to 5,793 calories and eat high carb foods. To His surprise he gained 15.6 pounds.

The real story to me is when I looked at what he ate it is what I used to think was a good breakfast and lunch.

I wonder how Calories in Calories out people would explain this?

    Yes, this. Or they will claim his logging was inaccurate.
