you cant say that word on 4channel

not that high-calorie foods are bad, but they're usually empty calories, as in not enough minerals and shit
low calorie foods allow you to eat more while also making sure you have enough nutrients

calories aren't a real thing, they're made up by autistic idiots just like scoville ratings

If calories are a unit of energy measurement in food, how can empty calories exist?

Here's a tip: If your measurements are subjective, they're not a real scientific measurement. There's no such thing as an "empty kilometer" where because you were driving a Honda you didn't actually get anywhere.

empty calories == no nutrients other than calories (usually just carbs and fat, maybe some protein)
basically we get enough fuel as it is, we need dietary fiber, trace nutrients, vitamins and whatnot

>>12420360
empty calorie means no nutritional value for the amount of calories you get.

2 double stuffed oreo cookies are 140 calories and you only get 21g of carbs and 7g of fat, no vitamins. Its empty calories

>calories are a pointless unit of measurement

yes, that's precisely what I'm saying. Don't phrase your statements in an adversarial manner to my own when you are agreeing with my view

>knowing the calories in an oreo

Crafty /ck/ poster but calories are still dumb and no respected nutritionist cares about them

>>12420383
calories in calories out

>>12420332
I agree. We all know it's not allowed, but mods just never crack down on a***** the way they should.

guys just let me go get my calorie thermometer, I'll stick it in my sushi and get a caloric reading-

oh wait, there is no objective measuring tool of how many "calories" are in food. They just make it up

>hurrr calories don't exist

said every fat fucking mongrel ever

They probably take the %mass of the molecules (protien/fat/carbs) and extrapolate how much calorie is in it by referencing charts. It would be tedious to run each item through a calorimeter. I don't understand why they keep calorie as a unit though, just use kJoules already.

>>12420368
>carbs and fat are useless for the body unlike muh proteins!!!!

Protip: "Empty calories" occur in manufactured foods, when they basically just produce amalgamations of sugar, salt, and fat.

Think of any packaged food where you can't look at it and identify any ingredients. Even a candy bar where you can point and say, "That's a peanut" is better than the alternative.

In terms of natural foods, high-calorie (things like nuts, avocado, and fatty meat) tends to be as good or at least as important as low-calorie (like most fruits and vegetables).

Momscience thinks low calorie = healthy high calorie = bad.

It's a unit of energy, you dumbfuck. Take five seconds to use the unlimited knowledge in front of you to figure it out.

Typically, low calorie foods advertised as such are consumed by people who really can't lose weight because they're ignorant as shit. What they actually need to do is re-evaluate their entire eating daily, but the easy short cut way of doing this is to simply go eat some sort of fiber bar with 200 calories (which is a fucking candy bar, desu) when their blood sugar crashes.

It's very similar to diet drinks. Yes, diet coke has zero calories. No, drinking diet coke does not cancel out what you eat it with.
