Do you guys believe in calories?

To sum extent yes but the way we measure them is bogus

Actually im curious how do you think calories are measured

I see no reason not to carb/protein = 4 calorie, fat = 9 calorie
 
  • Hmm...

Personally I think the way we measure calories just does not make sense, we blow food up in water and if the water goes up x amount of heat thats how much calorie that food has, tell me how this correlates to the human body🤔

I don't think your body is gonna decide to store fat or use energy based on numerical digits that humans gave to food

Sorry man:lul::feelswah:
how else does your body operate nigga ?

:feelswat::feelswat:
Brain triggers your pancreas to release insulin to decide to spend that energy or save it as fat

How come? As in surpluses and calorie deficits?
Peoples main argument for calorie counting is the law of thermodynamics, which makes the way we measure calorie relatively make sense. But the problem is humans don’t run on heat energy, we run on chemical energy called ATP.

This is why i think calorie is bullshit:lul:

Dude, calories are simply a unit of energy.

The chemical potential energy stored within the molecular bonds of food is exactly what a calorimeter measures when converting that food into heat.

Then Through cellular respiration, our metabolism extracts this exact same chemical energy to synthesize those ATP molecules.

Thus, Because the first law of thermodynamics dictates that energy cannot be created or destroyed,

the total caloric energy entering the body inherently limits and dictates the amount of ATP available for biological function.


Saying
“calorie counting is invalid because we use ATP” is like saying you cannot measure the energy content of gasoline in gallons because a car engine runs on internal combustion pistons rather than a liquid.

The unit of measurement remains a precise reflection of the fuel's total payload.



Your argument is running on a false dichotomy

Because your body burns/uses the calories in a similar manner for energy

Yes energy can not be created or destroyed and that ATP is derived from the chemical energy in the food. But my issue is treating caloric values as exact 1 to 1 of usable biological energy. A calorimeter measures the total heat released from blowing up food, but humans don’t blow up the food. Different foods have different digestion costs, absorption rates, and metabolic fates. Protein has a higher thermic effect than fat or carbs, causing a large portion of its caloric value is lost during digestion.

The first law of thermodynamics is true, it does not mean that the food im eating has the same calories as the back of the label. Calories are useful to use as a approximation but they are not a perfect representation of biological energy availability

I agree, you’re right about the thermic effect of food and digestive efficiency

Although you're misunderstanding how nutrition labels work.

The calories on a label aren't raw calorimeter data, they are calculated using the Atwater system which explicitly subtracts the energy lost in human digestion and waste.

While individual absorption rates and TEF vary slightly from person to person, the numbers on the back of the package are already engineered to represent metabolizable biological energy.

It's a highly functional baseline
