Looking for scientific studies on calorie counting
I may be about to get into an argument with someone over whether what you're eating matters more than how many calories you're eating. I'm arguing that only amount of calories matter, he's arguing that you have to avoid carbs, starch and sugar as they make you store fat. I'm trying to compile a list of studies that show…

Fitbit Activity Intensity

Is exercising and eating more better than just eating less?
So MFP says to eat back your exercise calories, but I'm struggling to find where I can (healthily) eat that many calories.

Ignoring things…
