He centers his argument around the body not counting calories and the different digestive paths for different foods, but dances around the question of whether the body ends up getting the same amount of energy from different foods of the same caloric content (hint - it does). The body doesn't measure things or do any sort of math; this is true but meaningless. Different foods are broken down different ways; also true and not completely meaningless but at the end of the day the different paths provide the same energy with the same caloric input.31

OK. We've all seen countless derp articles like this posted in countless threads. Do you have an opinion, or did you look up the most controversial topic you could find in order to provide yourself with some entertainment tonight?50 -
That was a waste of 4 minutes.....
You actually bothered to click the link?
I'm not interested in anything Fung has to say. He's a woo-spouting crackpot and is a laughingstock amongst evidence-based nutrition/physiology experts.
It was humorous when he popped into the ISSN (International Society of Sports Nutrition) Facebook group. He was absolutely crucified in there.36 -

No *kitten*.
Did not click and feel pretty confident I didn't miss anything useful.13 -
Omg, saw “Fung”, and just came for the drama...
I’ve got my eye on you, thread. I expect to be entertained.
Seriously though, the guy is such a joke.29 -
