  If you’re wondering we burn them in the order of protein > carbs > fats.

  That’s not true. Learn more about en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citric_acid_cycle if you want to understand.

  I’m aware of the basics of macronutrient digestion and metabolism, and your description is… weird. Would you care to share a source on your claims?

  It also needs to be noted, unless you’re eating nothing but supplements and highly processed powders, no one eats fat, or carbs, or protein. We eat foods, and virtually all foods contain all three macros in varying ratios. In the real world we get all three together every meal, and if you’re not, it means you’re following a diet that you probably shouldn’t.

    Okay, but pork chops and pasta have very different proportions of the above. You can definitely structure your diet to weight towards one or the other.

    More seriously, there’s plenty of dumb fad diets, to be sure. And now we’ve got a host of medications for basically shitting out all your calories faster than you can eat them to lose weight. But there’s definitely a problem in our general food delivery system, especially with regards to fats and sugars in fast foods.

    Like, you can be blase about food composition. But there’s some shit that simply shouldn’t ever be in your diet (carbonated sodas, heavy preservatives in baked goods, lead). A lot of the “fad” aspects of diets tend to take these fundamentals and extrapolate them out to the extremes.

      And I would take the pasta over the pork chops any day, although they would be whole grain pasta.

    I misspoke, it’s not an order as one after another. It’s how fast you digest to get the calories from it.

    If you ate something with all 3 you would break it down “in order” because you metabolize one faster.

    Water content also plays a role in time.
