Comment on How exactly does one eat 1500 calories a day?
Valmond@lemmy.world 5 weeks agoI didn’t state something along those lines, ofc you cannot gain 100gram eating only 50grams.
Let me expmain:
If your body gets 100 “energy” out of a burger, that doesn’t mean getting “200” energy out of a burger is against physics.

Dude, either you aren’t reading or understanding what I’m typing, ot you just throws parts of your random knowledge in here withput logic.
If you want to discuss, great! But if you want to make random word salad, no thank you.

You’re not saying anything. You just explained calorie intake…

Here is a explanation:
When you eat, your body process the food and tries to utilize it for different things (Nutrients absorpsion, muscle/fat/bone repair and creation and so on). This processes are not 100% independent and they are modulated via several ways, as an example insulin regulates(or inhibits, depends who you ask) lyposis, which is the fat burning process.
There are a large number of ways to regulate all of this process and to some extend they all regulate each other constantly.
Now, the yoyo effect, i.e. ganing lots of ways after finishing a diet: After your body runs in a deficit for a whiley your body is behaving as is food was scarse then, when you downregulate your calorie intake your body uses its enzymes, hormones and whatnot to assure that the most energy is saved, it can do this, going back to the fat example by raising your insuling levels more than usual and so, storing more energy from the same meal.
It makes sense from a evolutionary view also, your body can’t try to store everything when your starving, since it needs the extra effort to go get food, then, when you find the food it tries to store it all and also, since it has enough you can spare some hours of letargy, i.e. why peoole get sleepy after a big meal. Also relevant, when you are in a deficit your body starts pumpling growth hormones, even tho it has nothing to grow off, but the hormone is there to kick start creation as soon as some extra energy is avaliable.
Of course that, compunded with how normally people tent to underestimate their calorie intake is even worst. Which happens a lot.
