Default High Calorie question.

Hi all,

Have a question that is sort of OT (sort of not as well).

I made up a bowl of boiled eggs that I mashed up with a fork and added some
butter, mayonaise and chives. I then stirred and put in the fridge
overnight. I then went and calculated how many caloried this concoction
was. It was extremely high. Over 1000 calories for 100 grams of the stuff!
(But damn it tastes good!).

Question? Will something high in calories (like this stuff) fulfill me the
same as something that is high in size but much lower in calories (say like
a big bowl of veggies)? Just wondering...

It seems a bit funny really - I ate 100 grams (of the egg mix) for breakfast
and 100 grams (of the egg mix) for lunch and here I am at 5pm starving
away... gonna eat something a bit lower in calories but am interested by
this topic... thats all :-)

Cheers
Matt.

Default High Calorie question.

How could you get 1000 calories for 100 grams, that is more than any of the
components, butter has 717 calories/100 grams, mayo about the same and eggs
210?

That's because of the damage all that fatty food is doing to your heart.

Also, stop top-posting you goofy *******/bitch. (I cannot tell if you

Hey lemonsky.

The amount of calories I eat doesn't matter for me either. I still
lose weight on a very high calorie diet. BUT, there are many others
that swear that it does and they make of research findings that it
will damage the heart. Just ignore them, for they know not what they
do.

FOB,

Long term, you'll do a whole lot better snacking on fiber-filled lower
calories low carb foods rather than extremely high calorie low carb foods.

Why?

1. Fiber filled low carb foods (like veggies, sunflower seeds, bran
crackers, etc) will help keep your digestive system from plugging up. The
longer you are on this diet, the more you will appreciate this.

2. Fiber filled foods have all kinds of other nutrients which your body
needs.

3. Calories do count. If you weigh a lot, you might not notice this at
first, but as your weight loss continues and you get closer to your goal,
most people stall out unless they watch their calories.

4. You'll do a whole lot better on maintenance if you've learned to eat less
caloric foods rather than high caloric foods for snacking.

Default High Calorie question.

Atkins repeatedly says that calories are not as important as the
balance of carbs, fat, protein. I know people talk about reducing
calories here, but Atkins book doesn't mention watching calories at
all, just carbs. And he was staunchly against the traditional calories
in-calorie out=weight loss mentality. The important thing is to not be
hungry. If you are hungry then you should be eating. If you are
walking around hungry then you are on a more traditional
starve-yourself-a-little diet and you will lose lean muscle mass
instead of just adipose(fatty) tissue. You should eat till full not
stuffed and when hungry snack.


Oddly enough I've lost weight after my 3000 calorie days yet gained a
little after 2000 calorie days. COnfusing? That's because we are
focusing on calories, which Atkins didn't do. On those 3000 calorie
days my fat-to-carb was betweeen 10 and 18. (10x more fat grams than
carbs). On my 2000 day my ratio was 8, and I gained. Atkins says the
higher the ratio the more ketosis will be induced. And that is the
goal of Atkins, not to reduce your caloric intake, but to induce
ketosis and not the loss of lean tissue. The fats & protein in the
diet will satiate hunger and will naturally control your appetite and
eliminate carb cravings. This will allow you to have a normal appetite
instead of an over-revved carb-addict one.

Haven't you already plonked me? Maybe there is something wrong with your
newsreader. That might also explain your top posting.
