Do Calories Really Matter??

[thexorode]

This was the most polite way to say "people who think calories don't matter are stupid" 😂

Vegan Gains vs Liver King. Who you got?

The sad thing is that there are people who think as long they stick to a certain diet, they can eat 5000 calories and will still lose weight.

As a professional chemist, the calorie “debate” is so ridiculous to me. You’d never say that the amount & type of fuel doesn’t matter to your PT Cruiser, why do you think the amount & type of calories don’t matter to your body?
And these same people are the ones who *struggled* to get a C- in high school sciences. Sigh.

Carnivores are too busy telling everyone how great their life is now to be able to fight two vegans

As a dietitian licensed here in the states, I get this question A LOT in my gym.
And based on the person asking, I know the answer they’re looking for.
But in reality, anybody in this field will say ‘absolutely calories matter; it’s what provides you with the necessary energy you need to survive!’

[williamsimpson]

I like that you tell it like it is without being unkind. Direct, science-backed truth from Dr Mike

A woman once insisted she was putting weight on a deficit and her renowned physician was on board. I told her they had the moral duty of sharing their secret to why that happened because it would end world hunger. People are so delusional.

You're awesome dude.And funny.😂😂😂.

It's crazy how the sentence "if you eat like this you will likely be full and don't overeat easily, so you probably won't have to count calorie" transformed into "calories don't mean anything " in some niches. I've been in the keto ballpark for 10 years now and still KNOW that calories matter, but many people just don't have to count them. Some people can still overeat or have specific goals, and those have to track it all

As someone who went from very chubby to very muscular... Calories matter. So do macros. If I do not meet my protein goals for a day or two, it shows in overall workout performance.

[AsAMonkeyInAPinata]

Yeah, and you sometimes get people saying it’s not about the calories, it’s about the calorie deficit, and… yeah… ok… I get the point, but that’s also VERY MUCH about the calories!

Calories are not the only things that matter for fitness and health but they for sure the only thing that really matters for the weight

[TheGodLycan]

I'm studying personal training and I've had two nutrition teachers tell me calories either don't matter or that they do but its not the most important factor its to do with insulin sensitivity... and to stop looking to google or YouTube for advice on the matter.

I mean I’m vegan but it’s not for health reasons. I don’t really believe in the average claims for veganism being healthier. I think you can be healthy whilst vegan and there are benefits but I’ve seen some act like something’s healthy just cos it’s vegan, which is bull

[orionsimerl]

People believe what they want to believe, not what is observable, which is why there is anyone who would say calories don't matter and fundamentally why human beings persist with the problems they produce. What reasoning challenges the idea that
1: calories represent the amount of energy food supplies to the body.
2: surplus calories are stored as fat.
3: the body using more calories than is supplied by food results in the body catabolizing muscle and fat to supply that energy.

It's impossible that calories don't matter to your physique, yet people who prefer to believe that will believe that.

[jeremygranger]

This is true for so many other professions and topics.

Could you react to a video of Dr. Jason Fung talking about why calories don't matter. He's a nephrologist, I believe.

[thewildcalls]

Been vegan 3 years, and im the fittest I've ever been. But its not just about being vegan. You can be a junk food vegan or a healthy vegan. For the first time in my life, at 42, ive got a 6 pac and feel like i have the energy i did when i was 18
