[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also don't really believe in calories in/calories out. I'm 5'8" female at 150 lbs and can eat about 2000 calories of healthy foods and still lose weight but if I eat 1700 calories of junk I gain. Bodies are weird.[/quote]

how are you measuring this "gain"? If you step on the scale the day after eating a heavy, salty, junky meal you will weigh more. This is NOT real fat gain. This is just some water retention.  If you eat 2000 calories of healthy food and weigh less the next day, you just release some water. You can't look at these one time measurement to say you gain or don't gain when you eat certain foods.  Measurable fat loss doesn't happen overnight. Even if you eat the exact same foods every single day your weight will still fluctuate some from day to day.

you need to look at the scale over a longer period, like a month, of consistently eating a certain way to really know if that is causing you to lose or gain weight.

Look up the guy who did the Twinkie diet. He lost weight eating just Twinkies because his calories were controlled and he was in a deficit.

That is how weight works.  Your body needs energy to function, eat enough energy/calories you stay the same weight, eat too much energy/calories your body stores that energy as fat or muscle if you are lifting heavy, don't eat enough energy/calories and your body uses fat or muscle to get that energy and you lose weight.[/quote]
