For all you workout/nutrition/weight loss people

[spoonitnow]

you bastards have me curious

1. wtf do calories do
2. all else being equal, if you lowered your calorie intake so that you burned more calories in a day than you take in, would you lose weight?

1) calories is a measurement of energy. Your body uses it like gasoline in a car.

2) Yes.

read the other 5 threads that have been made in the past year about this Spoon, there are plenty of em.

I.E.- Euph's workout thread, I AM FAT YO by Gabe, and the 2 most recent one's in the commune.

I'm pretty sure, from a top level it is. Your body consumes X number of calories a day, you ingest Y calories. If Y>X you expect to gain mass, if Y<X you expect to loose mass.

Different foods have different effects, LDO. 270 calories off pure granulated sugar isn't the same as 3 hard boiled eggs.

So my all sugar diet isn't healthy? What is wrong with drinking a pitcher of koolaid a day? Nothing I say.

I've read the majority of the posts in those threads and I understand most of the material on some level.

1 calorie is the amount of heat required to heat 1 ml of water 1 degree C. The calories that we take in are actually kilocalories or the amount of energy required to heat 1 liter of water by 1 degree C.

ya i knew that too

btw rilla i told martin what's his name that you're the physics guy, was i pointing to the wrong rilla?

Most people are experts at eating more than they think they are, exercising less than they think they are, and basal metabolic rate follows consumption up to a point.

1. who cares

2. it's not quite as simple as people make it out to be. take for instance your typical 'skinny-fat' person who thinks its a great idea to lose weight by eating once a day. metabolism slows, body goes into starvation mode and hords fat (bodies natural defence mecanism), sheds muscle (a disaster, but muscle is a liability in such a state because it greatly boosts metabolism, burns calories/fat, etc), and lots of other really horrible things.



I always tell people to try to work on being healthy and striving to improve body composition and to not worry so much about the number. of course nobody ever listens, so i kinda gave up on trying to help.

Yeah this is pretty much what I figured more or less.

Know what would suck? Banging a fat anorexic chick. Talk about a failure at life.
