Sep 3, 2012 at 12:53 comment added StupidOne @RobinAshe Can you provide any white paper which backs up your claim? We can talk about playing with carb intake, but in the most casses, only when body fat is 10% or lower. Also, when we are talking about body composition, physical preformance, TEF, choleserol, oxidative stress, hormon balance and so on, then source of calories DO metter. But in the terms of weight loss (or gain) a calorie is simply a calorie. Weight Loss Fudamentals
Sep 3, 2012 at 0:24 comment added Robin Ashe @StupidOne nope, it's just that calories, if the hypothesis has any validity at all, work in a far more complex fashion than 99% of people who give advice based on calories understand
Sep 2, 2012 at 19:06 comment added StupidOne @RobinAshe In that case, you are walking miracle as law of conservation of energy doesn't apply to you.
Sep 2, 2012 at 17:20 comment added Robin Ashe @StupidOne I was in a supposed calorie surplus of several thousand per day, and wasn't gaining any weight. Conversely, there are people on calorie deficits who gain weight. Using calories to predict anything is pointless.

Sep 1, 2012 at 11:04 comment added StupidOne @RobinAshe As long as you are not in caloric surplus, you won't gain any weight. To talk about amount or even weight of food and in the same time ignoring caloric value when we are talking about storing / loosing fat is next to pointless.
Sep 1, 2012 at 9:43 comment added Robin Ashe @StupidOne even so, according to that I would have been putting on fat. the calorie hypothesis is grossly oversimplified, and the claim that it'll get converted to fat ignores the fact that we have bowel movements
Sep 1, 2012 at 8:21 comment added StupidOne @RobinAshe - Andreas is correct. Short answer - yes. Long one - no. Point is that body can't store proteins, but can convert them into carbs which then can be stored as fat. Devil here is - to get fat from protein, body needs a lot of energy and in this case caloric value of protein is much more closer to 2-3 kcal then to 4 kcal.
Sep 1, 2012 at 0:59 comment added Robin Ashe Not necessarily. If that were the case I would have been putting on fat going to AYCE sushi on a regular basis with no exercise.
Aug 31, 2012 at 20:36 comment added DribblzAroundU82 Short answer...yes; the excess protein that the body can't digest will turn into fat.
Aug 31, 2012 at 20:01 comment added Dave Newton Why would you keep your diet the same if you're not expending the same number of calories?
