Typically, when you look at the carbohydrate content of milk, you will see that it is something like 10g of carbohydrates and 10g sugar, meaning that all the carbohydrates in the milk are sugar. I have, however, encountered milk...
It seems to be common wisdom that having carbs as the main calorie source is important, and while I do share that, I want to understand *why* exactly. I wouldn't want to oversimplify an issue I am not an expert...
Hi, there. I'm coming across contradictory information online, so I thought you might be able to help me find the right answer. Basically, I'm trying to discern what the correct balance (if there is such a thing) between carbohydrates and fats...
Googling answers say that adults should have no more than 30g of sugars a day. I'm not too sure whether that's added (I'm guessing) or included with fruits and other stuff. Meanwhile carbohydrate intake is about 300g a day but...
The recent top post is about a layne norton podcast where he speaks about various things, intermittent fasting, energy balance, etc etc. He also speaks about carbohydrates, fat, protein and insulin. In that post, a lot of people were making...
In my country , staple food is rice/wheat(bread). If a person takes sufficient amount of leafy greens + vegetables + egg/meat + plant based protein (like lentil , beans) , will he go through any side effects ? From the...
It is easy to maintain a lean physique while eating low carb, high fat, and high protein diet or keto. What are the downside of getting most of you calories from fat and protein and essentially neglecting carbohydrates?
I mean, in general, sure. Glucose supplies energy, and if needed, stores it in a form of glycogen, but other than that? Protein literally builds the body, because breaks down to amino acids. Lipids contain fatty acids, they break down some...
Is it like fat, like the saturated and unsaturated? Some good, some bad. I've read that the simple carbs are the bad ones but I can still not understand. Are carbs mostly sugars? And are they really that bad?
I found this drink at my work [BodyArmor Lyte]( https://imgur.com/r4nB8sn.jpg) and it's nutrition label says 15 calories but 14g of carbohydrates. Only 2g sugar (so theres 8 calories there), but 1) where are the other carbohydrates that isn't sugar and 2)...
The saying goes: 3,500cal = 1lbs of fat. But does the body only burn the fat first? Surly the body is breaking down more than just fat. So how many calories do you really have to go negative to burn a lb of...
From what I've read, the main benefits that can be associated with intermittent fasting are due to increasing insulin sensitivity - if you're not eating carbohydrates within the period that you're fasting, then the body doesn't need to release insulin....
I’ve had success in weigh loss with IF and Extended Fasting. But, I learned that when I do so, I end up having issues with my sleep Apnea overnight, in spite of using a CPAP. The Respirologist suggested the cause...

Might be a dumb question, but the general nutritional advice I’ve gotten is that eating protein is essential for muscle development and maintenance. Evolutionarily speaking, why? Carbs seem to be much easier to come by, and strength seems to be...
Executive Summary: 42 hour clean fast added per week, and after 2 weeks, it broke a plateau of 1.5 months. I am a nearly 47 year old postpartum female sticking to a strict dairy free ketogenic regimen. Weight loss from...
The difference between refined carbohydrates like white rice and brown rice is the fiber and maybe some protein that is added to the rice in brown rice? And the main consideration is the glycemic effect? So like, if one were...
I am trying to reach 72 or 100 hours atleast but dizziness makes it scary and impossible. I have early fasting experience with OMAD or easy 30 hours consecutive fasts. This time I want to go further for atleast a...
Hey, I thought this would inspire some of you. I started my daily fasting routine on 1 May, 2020 and I still continue to fast daily to this day without fail. I was and still am on a Fat-based "VLCHF" diet of...
https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20190116-a-high-carb-diet-may-explain-why-okinawans-live-so-long I suspect that ultra-low fat intake can offset the effects of ultra-high carb intake. What do you think?
>“This is clearly a lie. Gaining 34 lb in 28 days requires a caloric surplus of 4300 calories per day, so for a guy his size, he must have eaten 7000 calories a day. He expects me to believe that...
I know that the human body uses carbohydrates to create energy, but it can also use proteins, and therefore I don't understand if a person can live fine without carbs?
As hunters and gatherers weren’t fruits the only source of carbs. Since wheat and rice were only cultivated after the agricultural revolution and we hardly had those (correct me if I am wrong on this point).
Are there any general best food type for late dinners close to bed time with regards to sleep quality?
How are natural sugars perceived in regards to nutrition? Should intake of natural sugars such as in fresh or dried fruits be limited just as you should limit intake with refined sugars? I will use the AHA recommendation of sugar...
**Prompt**: “*what’s a common nutrition myth*” **ChatGPT response**: “*One of the most common nutrition myths is that eating fat will make you fat. This is not true. While it is true that fat contains more calories per gram than carbohydrates and...
Here is my (fairly simplified and general) understanding of sugar: * Sugar is a simple carbohydrate, as opposed to complex carbohydrates (starch and fiber). * Both types of carbs supply blood glucose, but complex carbs do it in a...
https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnut.2021.748847/full Again, glad recent publications have dropped antiquated and outdated concepts that natural animal SFA are bad. The science just does not support that premise.
I am generally curious about this because people always tell me it’s fiber and GI. But for me white potato is much more satiating compared to oats or even beans. So what exactly makes a carb satiating?
Sorry if this is a dumb question, I am quite new to fitness and nutrition. For example the quark I am about to eat has 4.2g of fat, 3.6 grams of carbs and 10.8 grams of protein. Aditionally maybe 1g of...
I bought this drink, a Body Armor Lyte, and on the nutrition label, it says the drink contains 18g of carbohydrates but the whole bottle only has 20 calories. I was under the impression that 1g of carbohydrates is equal to...
I'm aware that there are multiple studies that verify the negative outcomes between diets high in (saturated) fat intake but in some of those studies, BMI of individuals isn't stated. Do high quality studies exist that verify the connection between...
Glucose, sugar, natural cane sugar, table condiment, carbohydrate, what's the difference? Is sugar collectively known as just sugar, or is there individual properties depending on which kind of sugar you're referring to? ​ I grew up with the mindset that all sugar...

I understand white rice has lower anti nutrients than brown rice. Are there any other carb sources with low anti nutrients?

some healthy sources of simple carbs ?
When it comes to fruits, I get it. Example: Bananas — per 100g: carbohydrate 20.3g of which sugars 18.1g. Obviously naturally high in sugar and no added sugar here. But what with products containing various ingredients? Example: Carrot and coriander soup — per 100g:...
Apologies if the question above is one straight from Dunning-Kruger's valley of dispair. I am learning about nutrition and the subject of dietary induced thermogenesis just came up in the material. It is only briefly mentioned, but I would like...
Excluding the thermogenic effect of food, do we absorb all of the calories we eat as said on the package or is soke energy lost es. with feces. To my knowledge no energy is transferred with 100% efficiency so I...
Should I stop sugar by fruits also ? This is a loosing fat question
I always read how sugar is the worst thing for you as it's the only thing that is not needed for daily body function. Salt is needed, so is fat. But not sugar.
I hear advocates of keto and fasting say that over time your body can become "fat adapted" and get more used to burning fat over carbs, even if you return to your previous diet. Is there truth to this? And...

Hi, all my family members say that meat is unhealthy even though they all eat meat (some of them everyday). I myself only eat meat 1-2 maybe even 3 times a week and only very rarely red meat/non-lean meat. But...
I noticed that on many foods the number of calories is off in relation to what I would expect given kilocalorie yield per macronutrient (4kcal/g protein, 9kcal/g fat, 4kcal/g carbohydrate). For example, a food with 1g protein, 6g fat, and...
Hi folks, There are certain groups of people that are still recommended to specifically reduce their consumption of fat as a macronutrient. From personal experience, I'm familiar with post-cholecystectomy patients (not all of them, but commonly). Also I believe people with...

MyFitnessPal says I can have up to 80g of sugar but is that natural, added or both? Does natural sugar count towards your overall sugar intake?

1. The buffering of carbohydrate absorption is only important if your eating to much carbohydrates. 2. Your gut biome is very stable. It doesn't need a constant supply of fibre. 3. Peristalsis works totally fine without fibre. I think a good dose...

Can someone eat TOO much carbs through vegetables? It seems like in order to maintain a certain weight, carbs have to be considered (along with exercise) which raises the question; if someone is trying to maintain a weight, and be...
i dont understand why people hate on mass gainers becuse of maltodextrin
Should sodium be considered a macronutrient? Why or why not?
1) Why some nutrion guidelines recommdend eating meals high in protein and fiber whilst other recommend meals high in protein and fat? I know that protein is the most satieting macronutrient , is it fat more satiting than carbohidrates...
I have often heard carnivore and keto dieters say that saturated fat is healthy, but I've never heard why that would be the case.
I know they are different parts of a plant. But for example, I have no veggies at home today but I have some avocados, manderins and banana and will eat that plus some meat. Or do I need some actual...
I just read an article explaining the stages of fasting. It said after 14-16 hours you enter ketosis, but then recommended to end the fast around 16 hours if you’re new to it. I feel like the good stuff is just...
My current understanding of autophagy is that it is triggered by lack of amino acids - cells must scavenge unused structures for building material in the form of amino acids. People living in Blue Zones (areas where people routinely live longer...
As the tittle says, do we actually absorb the calories from fibre or they just pass through our digestive system untouched?

What are your strategies for eating an appropriate amount of calories when your calorie expenditure is different every day? is it worth it to change your macros every day or to just hold an average for the week?
Is it the overconsumption of calories? Or is it that fast food is t very nutritionally dense. Also if I overate healthy food would I still feel bad afterwards?

I just noticed grapes have fat content. Where is the fat coming from?
In [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/nutrition/comments/m1q506/how_many_grams_of_sugar_a_day_is_within_a_healthy/) post, the comments were saying that natural sugar (i.e. not added sugar) doesn't count towards your daily allowance, and you should reduce added sugar as much as possible. For example, in one cereal bar it's advertised as "no added...
So i think we all know, gaining losing or maintaining weight is all based on energy expenditure, calories but I have a curious question. If someone need say 3000 calories to maintain their weight and they straight up eat 3000...

I have a book from only 2010 from a major health magazine that says that fasting creates a response of lowered metabolism, and is not a good method for fat loss. I understand they might have been wrong and sometimes...
So the last day of my fast, I weighed 284 pounds, and after three days of eating a pretty healthy and balanced diet where I only ate 1500 calories a day, I weigh 291. Is this a regular thing, and...

Hello, I was wondering what you guys think about the keto diet?

I'm interested to hear your arguments against following a plant-based (plant-forward) diet.
