I don't see this being an issue at all unless you are getting close to a competition

That's interesting. It sorta complements the whole NEAT idea and how protein exerts more calories to process then say an equivalent bowl of Lucky Charms.

I've always wondered whether raw eggs were just as good as cooked eggs:

They found that 90 per cent of the cooked egg was digested compared to just 51 per cent of the raw egg (The Journal of Nutrition, vol 128, p 1716).

Thanks for the link. Repped.

some foods may have more or less calories than advertised....so what? it isn't going to be enough of a swing that you cant make an adjustment by looking in the mirror

so this is how people who eat like rabbits throughout the week and then binge on junk on the weekend still lose weight, since they are eating fewer calories during the week than they think they are...
