Calories in vs Calories is the biggest myth on bb.com

[Captin Kid]

Theres no way i can eat 2000 calories of semi dirty food and still look like i am cutting on 2000 calories of clean food

myth busted

[Mofood]

wasn't aware retards actually believed this

[ALEXH-]

What? If your cutting cals are 2000 you will lose weight whether you ate 2000cals of butter or chicken you n00b.

With respect to actually maintaining proper macro/micro nutrients it is impossible to deny that you will lose weight while eating lower than your BMR. But yeah if your whole intake for the day is ricecakes your gonna lose weight but look like **** in the end.

calories determine weight

type of calories determine composition

its that simple

its that simple

this. fukking idiots.

losing 9lbs of fat / 1lb muscle =/= losing 5 lbs of muscle 5 lbs of fat

but

losing 10lbs = losing 10 lbs.

And what exactly is dirty food?

Go look up the effects of omega 6 fatty acid on bodymass partitioning and then reread your post.

TL,DR; omega 6 fatty acids-> systemic inflammation -> atherosclerosis, vasoconstriction, blood clotting, accumulation of body fat

[Mofood]

And what exactly is dirty food?

food with ****ty macros

[Achiral]

And that's because you train kettlebells you idiot.

[Sir-Squat-alot]

agreed op, it takes alot more effort generally for ur body to digest raw natural foods rather than processed sh*t thats already had half the job done for you... so in a sense 3000kcal is the same either way, but they are not equal if that makes sense.

[Valenzuelatech]

And what exactly is dirty food?

This.

OP please define "clean" food and "dirty" food

[gatovolador]

how is it dumb? If you want to gain weight, eat more. If you want to lose weight, eat less. If you want to improve recovery or have better muscle growth you might tweak your diet one way or the other, but the basic point stands.

Evidence: Ethiopia vs America/UK/Aus

i never understood what was so hard to grasp about this.

[JustinPSherman]

I eat whatever I want as long as I get my protein and don't go over maintenance.

Haven't lost an ounce of strength in 11 months (made small gains, in fact), and lost 55 pounds of weight.

[Fairplay]

A lot of broscience in this thread.

[CaptainCrunch21]

hmm I lost almost 60 pounds eating like **** everyday just at a deflect, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm............

[monXXX]

fuk yo thermodynamics

[Shadow666]

Like all thing in life, its both true and false depending on a short or long answer with a large amount of grey area.

For a 300+ lb person who eats junk food, its a pretty good starting concept to initially lose weight.

Ofcourse as you progress and your goals change then the individual amounts of protein,fat,carbs etc come into it.

Holy overthinking batman it was just an example. Ill change it to ricecakes for you.

correct

I have a feeling anyone could lose weight if their body deflected all the food they tried to eat...

[FlexLex]

The difference is

A) Satiety
B)Muscle Preservation

With respect to the former: Yes 2000 cals of dirty foods and 2000 cals of clean foods is the same calorie content but it would come in different forms. For example, 2000 cals of fried chicken from KFC may yield you 8 pieces, while if you ate grilled chicken breast you could fit in say, 15 pieces. You get more food for the cals.....

This leads to the second point-keeping muscle. If your cals come from dirty foods, then your going to be lacking some sort of nutrient. By eating cleaner foods, you can assure yourself your getting the max amount of protein/good carbs/good fats to calorie ratio-it all about efficiency.

A person getting 200g protein on clean foods will look better than someone getting 50g protein off fries and cake when the cals are the same. Person A would keep more muscle, and thus looks better

[oigion2]

nice support you have backing up your thread

[aesthetique]

in after vtech

clean food = foood thats been washed in soap

[cldfreak10]

Strong confusion between cals in/cals out and IIFYM on OP's part.
