    Yes, I’m a huge believer in CICO.
    I also firmly believe that not every calorie is the same. The “quality of the food” does play a factor.

    I’m no nutritionist, but surely we can all agree that eating 10 snickers bars is not as “healthy” as actually paying attention to what types of protein’s and other foods you eat.

    I’m not saying everybody has to be so diligent as to plan out every meal to the nth degree and down to the minute detail of knowing exactly how many grams of what type of food is in the journal. I’m certainly not.

    I will, however, have yogurt for breakfast. Then I’ll base lunch around whatever protein I decide I want, and the same with dinner. Pick the protein first, then the carbs/fats will fall into place. Generally when I do that the percentages follow suit.

    I will look for leaner proteins....eat chicken or turkey more than beef generally...Would I rather have mashed potatoes or fries or a bun? Since I get mashed potatoes with just a little butter/salt/pepper, it’s generally the safer bet - or baked potato even.

    It almost becomes a case of “choose your doom”. LOL

    10 pounds of broccoli is better than 10 Snickers, I guess. Ugh

    i'd argue from a macronutritents profile - 10 snickers is likely better than 10lbs of broccoli...

    10lbs of broccoli = approx 4500g of broccoli = roughly 102servings of 1/2 chopped...
    102 servings = 1534cal (15cal/serving) = 1150cal of carbs (3g per serving) and 383cal protein (1g per serving)

    compared to 10 snickers bars:
    1 snickers bar = 250cal/12g fat/33g carbs/4g protein
    10 bars = 2500cal/120g fat/330g carbs/40g protein

    i mean, yeah, i would be in a sugar coma...but the snickers would be the better choice in the long run for the make-up...

    Man...dieting would sure be a lot easier if you didn't have to pick just one food and eat only that.

    IKR? It's weird because I had no idea CICO was short for "Eat Nothing But One Specific Junk Food". I've been doing it wrong, I guess :neutral:

    Maybe it’s mistaken as an acronym for “Candy In, Candy Only”.

    But is a candy a candy? I mean, are all candies created equal? Is an Almond Joy harder to digest than a Mounds? Do you get more nutrition from homemade gummy bears, so your body doesn't crave more? I feel like science just isn't sure!

    So the real question is, when are we starting the sugar free gummi bear cleanse challenge.

    Oooo! Ooooo! I'm in!!

    Just wanted to make sure that what your body does produce isn't being mistaken for cookie dough.

    Sometimes you just have to accept being in the minority. :D
