  It’s possible to absorb more or less from your food, someone who is lactose intolerant is not going to gain as much weight from eating the same amount of cheese as someone who is not

    Cheese has almost zero lactose. Less than lactose free milk

      That does depend on the cheese, ricotta and mozzarella for example do contain lactose (enough to cause me quite some discomfort unfortunately). And processed stuff which shouldn’t be allowed to be called cheese may contain amounts that spell instant doom for the guts of the lactase deficient.

        Fresh mozzarella, bit pizza cheese should be fine for the most part.

  Getting fat isn’t anyone’s goal. It’s always getting fit. Calories without nutrients will only lead to obesity.

  Don’t understand why every American wants to die on a hill announcing this BS.

    A calorie is a unit of measurement. In terms of how much energy you are consuming, which is what matters for weight gain, there is literally no difference between one calorie and another.

    “Empty calories” does have a meaning and it’s that something is ‘just’ calories with no additional nutrients. Not eating any nutrients will make you sick, but not obese.

      That’s not totally true. Nutrients can be more or less bioavailable depending on how they come. This includes calories. It’s a good rule of thumb to assume all calories are the same, but it’s not exactly accurate

      Agreed, my wording might be off but what I meant is eating high calories with low nutritional value would make you unfit and obese.

      Look at India, no workout and lots of Fibre in diet causing only belly fat.

      The staple food of a region means a lot, Mediterranean diet is considered healthiest by those standards.
