Also calorie counting has about as much scientific merit as astrology (except astrology sometimes can sync up with results) but no one ever listens when I say this so I suggest doing some independent nutrition study on your own, and for now just stop eating nothing but sugar


I initially deleted my response to this because it was incredibly mean but I do need to call out how insanely ludicrous of a statement this is. If you provide a source I would be happy to tell you everything wrong with the methodology, conclusions, etc while providing peer reviewed journal sources stating the actual science which is quite simple.

Calorie counting has more scientific merit than astrology, but it is severely overrated as the end-all be-all of weight loss and gain. You cannot just follow the law of conservation of energy and assume that the chemical bonds in your food has to match the chemical energy your body burns, because your body responds to the calorie intake. Someone who eats a steady 2500 per day will gain less weight than a yoyo dieter who alternates between 3000 and 2000. Cutting calories does not automatically lead to fat burn.
