A calorie is a calorie?

a calorie is a calorie + whatever other nutritional value is in there

you can get calories from waffles but you are also getting the other things inside it too which arent good for you.

If you ate an apple and some lettuce say 500 cal worth at the end you would be full.

if you did the same with the potato chips (500 cal) you would still be hungry afterwards because you just put junk in your body not anything with actual nutrition.


so yes, you can eat waffles with whipped cream but you'll do nothing but steal nutrients from your body and start to crave more food.


eat your apples, hope this helps

(not a doctor).

 

Now I want waffles :-(

 

I like this post

I used to cut weight, the best thing is to find foods that make you full but not have to eat a lot of.

If you work hard enough in the gym its ok to eat garbage once in a while to reward yourself

 

A calorie is the exact same value no matter where it comes from

 

Technically a calorie is a calorie, but it's what the calories make up that counts i.e. 1g protein or carbs = 4 calories. 1g fat = 9 calories.

BTW, eating "healthy" food doesn't fill you up more than "unhealthy" foods. Being full relates to how much room is taken up in your stomach not food nutritional value.

 

:good

Not only that, but OP, eat 2000 cals of NUTRITIOUS food and then eat the same amount but of FAST food and you will feel the difference!

Your body will feel terrible!

 

I don't get where you're going with this. He stated a calorie is a calorie no matter the source (which is a fact) and that blew your mind? Now you're questioning his credibility in some way?

Are you taking issue with his advice or what?

 

A calorie is a calorie, but waffles with whipped cream and syrup are obviously going to be high in calories and aren't going to be satiable compared to oat meal.

 

I don't know why you'd speak to a doctor about this anyway, speak to someone who specialises in this area (a registered sports dietician).

 

So you want to juice up too eh?
