Calories In Vs Calories Out Is WRONG (The TRUTH)
Video taken from the channel: Shelley Darlington
The “calories in versus calories out” model is based on the idea that to maintain a stable weight, the number of calories you eat needs to match the number you expend.Here’s the basic equation: Calories In MINUS Calories Out = Energy Balance. When it comes to fat loss, you want to create a negative energy balance — also known as a calorie deficit. When you create a negative calorie balance/calorie deficit, your body will burn your stored fat for energy.
If you take consume more food than you need (calories in), the excess calories turn into extra weight. But if you burn more calories than you consume (calories out), you burn stored body fat for energy and you lose weight.Because, when “Calories In” is equal to “Calories Out,” it means you are at your calorie maintenance level. And it’s your calorie maintenance level that is the starting point for figuring out exactly what your daily calorie intake should be in order for you to reach your goal and make your body do what you want it to do.
Calories Out. The total number of calories you expend per day, also referred to as your total daily energy expenditure (TDEE), goes far beyond your exercise habits. Basal metabolic rate: Your basal metabolic rate (BMR) refers to the number of calories you burn at rest if you lie in bed for 24 hours. These calories are expended to carry out.
Perhaps, after all, calories-in vs. calories-out is not the ultimate determinant of long-term body weight. Lets put some of it to rest right now. It is a fundamental law that you need a positive or negative energy (i.e. calorie) balance over time to gain or lose bodily tissues (e.g. muscle, fat).It does not, nor does it attempt to explain the metabolic differences between individuals or group types of individuals.
Calories in = calories out only says for a given individual, (constraining all other variables) increasing calories results in weight gain, and reducing calories results in weight loss.1 day ago · IF is basically favorable for the way you feel with fasting not much for losing weight no one knows when the body decides the weekly calorie intake vs outtake so say that day you havent ate yet and its does its energy consumption which converts to gain or loss. if you havent ate youd loss that weight so thats why bro science think you lose more weight on it.This calorie calculator estimates the number of calories needed each day to maintain, lose, or gain weight. It provides results for the number of necessary calories based on a one or two-pound gain or loss per week. Learn more about different kinds of calories and their effects, and explore many other free calculators addressing the topics of finance, math, health, and fitness, among others.
Why do people avoid carbs if the amount of calories is the only difference in weight gain or loss? This question was originally answered on Quora by Bart Loews.A calorie” of a food is actually called a kilocalorie, so the kilocalories you see burned on a heart rate monitor are 1:1 equivalent to the calories you eat in food.Confused about calories in vs out. Hypothetically, if my TDEE is 1800 calories and I eat 1800 calories, do I have a net calorie of 0? Or do I have to actively burn those 1800 calories?

Sort by.Calorie in is referred to the number of calories you get from the food you eat, while calorie out is the number of calories you burn. Food is the only source of calories intake. Different food items contain different amounts of calories. But our body burns those calories in 3 different way.
Calories in vs. calories out. We’ve all heard that this simple equation is the key to getting a lean, hard body. And that substituting lower-calorie foods for high-calorie options is.To help you gauge whether you’re on track to hit your calorie deficit, Fitbit also provides a Calories In vs. Calories Out meter.
This real-time calculation takes the following information into account: your calorie deficit, how many calories you’ve eaten, how many calories you’ve burned, and the time of.

I put on alot of lbs over the years. I started counting calories on mfp. I set it to lose 2 lbs a week. I eat out everyday twice. That’s the only food I eat. At a rsstaurant. Big hearty meals, but with no rolls buns or bread, and no sweet tea. Only water and diet drinks because there’s no calories. If i get a burger I only eat the meat and toppings. I started just walking for exercise each day for a hour or a hour and a half. In a month, I lost 15 lbs. That’s with eating burger meat and fried chicken mostly. I feel great. My energy is up and I don’t get hungry because I’m eating 700 to 1000 cals a meal, twice a day, lunch and dinner. I only take a few vitamins for breakfadt and dont care to wake early to eat breakfast. It might not sound healthy but I’m set at 1900 cals and am under many days. On days when I might go over I just walk a little extra to get more calories. It works for me so far. But like u guys talk about, I’m not getting leaner I don’t think. But I am shrinking and getting smaller which is all in worried about right now
So 3500 calories doesn’t equate to 1 pound? I know for me personally, if I eat processed foods or really high carbs like over 70g net I won’t lose. I’m 5’1 and get really full on 1300 cals a day high fiber
16:05 What you showed is a bomb calorimeter. There are different types of calorimeters and they are used to measure an energy change in chemical reactions, including the very same reactions than in your body. https://www.thoughtco.com/definition-of-calorimeter-in-chemistry-604397 Sure, in your body the reactions are catalyzed by enzymes, but calorimetry can also be used to measure enzyme thermodynamics. For example isothermal titration calorimetry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isothermal_titration_calorimetry Ironically calorimetry is a method by which it could be calculated just how much did you “glow” when you ate your lunch. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7451/ You pretty much disprove yourself after 16:35 by explaining how everything you put in you comes out in one form or another. If you claimed anything else, you’d be violating the thermodynamics.
Hi Sean pls make a video about prolonged fasting (72hour) in term of fat loss vs muscle loss
It is misleading because if you count calories according to the nutritional content labels then it won’t be correct.
If you define it the “opposite way” (caloric deficit = fat loss and not the numbers you read on labels) then of course it is true but it is basically unusable as you can not calculate what your deficit would be. The only way to find a caloric intake number would be trial and error and that would be based on what you eat and other things.
So what is the point?
Best Ways to Cut 100 Calories
Breakfast:
Skip the large glass of orange juice and have an orange instead.
Never eat a whole bagel, ½ is more than enough.
You don’t need over a cup of oatmeal, try ½ a cup instead.
Have eggs without the toast.
Keep in mind every packet of sugar in your coffee is 10 empty calories.
25 minutes of absolute nonsense. You are exactly what is wrong with the fitness industry. Deluded beyond belief. Learn your craft or get out the industry.
question: How do you effectively bulk on bro foods? my meaning is for an example if I eat brown rice/sweet potato for carbs. grilled chicken breast/ tuna for protein with brocolli these foods are relatively low calories compared with bulking with pizza. burgers. hot dogs etc. So this means you have to consume more foods in order to make your caloric goal each day. so its tougher to bulk on clean foods right?
Good stuff, fasting question…. does sugar free gum break the fast?
Hey Sean, so 0.8 grams of protein is really all that is needed to build and maintain muscle? I weigh 162lbs. and I am currently cutting to 10% body fat before bulking. I have been trying to get 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight, but would definitely eat less if there is really no benefit to eating more than.8 grams. Thoughts?
Guys this is easy. If you make more money than you spend, your bank account grows. If you spend more than you make, you go into debt. This is the same with calories and body weight.
I know I keep saying this, but damn Sean is back at it again with the absolutely no-BS content. Nowadays that info is worth its weight in gold given how much crap is being sold by influencers.
Your diet affects your glandular system in different ways…in developed belly fat love handles or man boobs and subcutaneous fat!
Hey baby hey baby are you going to lat me work out with you baby
Making a habit of eating “clean” healthy food day in and day out is the key.
Great to see you guys together! I listen to Mike’s podcast as well. Cheers to healthy living!
First at all I want to thanks you 2 for the video.
I want to know if my brother whom has Cushing’s syndrome and osteoporosis can started with a ketogenic diet?
Do you have a particular advice for him?
Many thanks in advance ����♀️
If I’m on 2500 calories I get myself 120-140g of protein and eat:
Breakfast (post gym) 4 eggs and PB toast (550 kcal)
Lunch 1 Pan fried chicken breast and brown rice (400 kcal)
Lunch 2 Chicken breast (baked) and vegetables (200 kcal)
Dinner Steak and potatoes (400 kcal)
Snack Cottage Cheese (300 kcal) if I need protein or an Avacado if I need fats (400 kcal)
Snack Fruit (150 kcal)
total: 2000/2100
then I just eat whatever the fuck I want to eat for 400 kcal. It means I have a diet mostly filled with bro foods but I get some enjoyment (be it an ice cream, oreos or whatever) daily.
Thanks for discussing about this topic!
It’s soooo confusing for the public as well, when there are ‘experts’ keeping saying CICO is not true:(((
https://medium.com/@drjasonfung/counting-calories-is-a-ridiculous-way-to-try-to-lose-weight-beae03cd1c46
So you should count cour carbs if you’re diabetic and count your calories to lose weight?
I did freeze when I started Keto + OMAD the first and second week. Now (it can be that its summer) but the coldness is gone compleltly.
I don’t care how much bs comes out of this woman’s mouth, she’s still fit af
There are a lot of men in the comments attempting to tear down what she is saying, because it isnt how THEY do it despite the fact that she specifically addressed specifically bodybuilders, as exceptions to the advise she’s giving on calorie counting. You claim she’s an idiot and doesn’t know what she is talking about because she doesn’t have degrees, however nutritionists like Dariush Mozaffarian (Dean of Friedman school of nutrition science and policy at Tufts & Kelly LeVeque) both of whom have degrees in nutritionagree with her on this. No one said if you’re counting calories and it’s working for you, stop. The fact is that it’s not for everyone, it doesn’t foster a healthy relationship with food for everyone, she clearly states that this advice is for those people.
It’d be great if someone could respond to this. I don’t have a gym near me or anything and so I made my own plan at home with some dumbbell usage. So my plan is Saturday and Monday is pushups and abs, ranging from 1-2hrs, but a must of over 1,500 pushups to failure and abs are my rests for pushups. Sunday and Tuesday are my leg days with dumbbells for squatting, deadlifting, and lunches, also abs for rests. Wednesday and Thursday are shoulders, biceps, and abs again. Fridays are my rest days with abs at night. For all these exercises I typically go to failure or close to failure, but my calories consumptions are over the roof with perhaps 500 calories? I was on a deficit for about 2 years and I got down to an 8% BF. Now it’s hard for me to eat, since I somehow have a huge appetite and my body doesn’t know when it’s full. Are these exercises too much or too little for the amount of calories I’m eating?
As always, excellent content Sean. we can always rely on you for the truth and a no B.S. approach for maximum results.
=> Watch This Video Next: “HOW RESISTANCE TRAINING SLOWS AGING” https://youtu.be/nqt4zzFwBJQ
People who say it doesn’t matter don’t understand what’s being said. We lose fat, maintain, or gain depending on energy balance over time. The influences of each side of the equation is what is being misunderstood. Not all calories (food) is the same and “these guys” aren’t saying that.
Wow I already was on to this but wasn’t quite sure it’s not too much info out there on this I thought you just count carbs and you can eat all the protein you want lol
Hello Shelley! Greg sent me to have a few words about thermodynamics…
Hi! So I have a question. Idk if you’ve read it before, but this book I read by Dr. Philp Goglia “Turn Up the Heat: Unlock the Fat-Burning Power of Your Metabolism” and he basically went into detail about how going into a calorie deficient diet isn’t necessary and that by speeding up your metabolism through having more nutrient-dense meals and getting your metabolic heat to rise, you can not be in a calorie deficient and still burn fat. Could you maybe review the book, and clear up some of his claims for me? Thank you again!!!
Fuel in, fuel out, right? A vehicle can’t run on every type of fuel, some fuels are better for different vehicles. Try swapping diesel with gasoline, the vehicle WILL RUN like a turd. Humans are more complicated. Not all calorie sources are equal. Calories in, calories out is even more absurd.
What’s wrong with the cameraman? Really like the content but i want people to actually look into the camera instead of seeing them talking from a side angle. So weird!
Sooo many triggered and annoying people coming from Greg Doucette’s video… imagine wasting your time to spread hate in a comment section without even listening to what she’ s saying. Just because someone said that she’s wrong, that doesn’t mean you have to come here as a brainless animal that can only copy and paste. If you don’t agree, go and find a video that you agree with and stick with that channel. Nobody needs your opinion unless you have something original and interesting to say.
I know I’m late, but I needed to say this. Because she’s right, you shouldn’t be obsessed over calories counting, you should focus on eating healthy and providing your body with the nutrients it needs ��
The reason this is all a hard pill to swallow for so many is because of the sheer amount of lazy people who refuse to count calories. For whatever reason it’s like mission impossible for a good majority.
When you say, “YOU DO WHAT EVER THE FUCK YOU WANT TO DO” it makes me feel like you don’t care about me.
How many calories should a male 5 foot 8…….weight 343 lbs eat a day?
Reply 1
It comes down to a persons habits though �� some think… Ah I’ll eat a few peanuts….. Ends up eating 200grams peanuts + “normal” meals…. Bread pasta, pizza, etc. And they’re quickly over 2500kcal �� it’s true when U throw away processed carbs it’s even hard to eat 1500kcal of normal food �� so I’d say yes in the beginning before u change your habits it makes sense to track and count until you figure it out…. Then when U know what are like caloric bombs…. U just avoid those.:)
You are SO knowledgeable on fitness and I want to let you know that you’re literally the ONLY fitness person that I watch and trust. Ps can you please make a video on meal ideas that’s low in carb and high in fats?
Good point that’s why I notice this “net carbs” labels on many foods. They are trying to convince people they can eat more of it lol
it’s going opposite for me, for example when I ate salad and salmon I will get hungry again in no time, but when I ate one McDonald cheese burger and light cola I will get full for hours.
Sean. You have great hair. That style looks great on you. You look younger for some reason in this vid ����
It triggers me so much when people say they cant lose what even when they claim they eat less calories than they use daily, then i ask how is their maintenace and they have no idea
Wow best explanation I have ever heard on this topic, totally IMPRESSED!
I’m binging your videos and literally you’re changing my life! You’re giving me information that finally makes sense in all the confusion! Thank you. Thank you so much ������
So if I’m aloud 2,300 calories a day which is my macros for weight loss but I don’t burn that will that lead to weight gain?
Hey ladies! Thank you so much for 100K subscribers:) I am still blown away by the amazing response I’ve had to my channel! You all rock! Giveaway with my bands and some e-books coming very very soon, so stay tuned on here and IG to find out how to enter (open globally!). Hope you enjoy this much requested video… thank you for your patience it took FOREVER to edit! Comment below any questions… answering them all now:) Love you guys xxx
Let’s see, I eat more calories and fewer carbs and have lost 40 lbs. only 10 more to go
So I’m struggling to accept this, if I eat 2000kcl from sweet potatoes, brown rice, beans salad etc Turkey breast meeting my macros would have the same effect as eating junk food that also has 2000kcl like fries burgers and fizzy drinks. I don’t know man. To begin with I had a large Big Mac meal the other day and it was close to a 1000kcl the whole meal. doesn’t this affect body composition muscle mass etc? Simple sugars will also mean it’s harder to stick to your diet right?
New subscriber here�� thanks for the very useful health tips ��
Omg! All she’s saying is stop calorie counting and eat well (Whole Foods), work out and you’ll be healthy and lose weight and look fit as a bonus.
Incredibly well explained, many thanks for your exceptional content.
You’re great. I love the genuineness you give and de-bunks about our society. Please keep posting content! I’ve just started hitting the gym and you’ve been providing me great advice! Thanks
i think thee will be some nutritions problems,like vitamns in junkfood.but u can still loss weight,in deficit
Calorie in < calorie out is the only way you can loose weight, that’s literally the only think that matters when it comes to losing weight.... �� such a click bait video! Like yeah no one deep fries a banana and then thinks it’s the same amount of calories as eating it “raw”, you can’t accurately calculate calories in and out for sure. But if ur feeling hungry then basically you have less calorie in... it doesn’t make the basic statement go away.
Im fat and I certainly dont get cold when I fast. I fast daily, OMAD, eat within a 1-2 hour window, usually 1 hour. Matter of fact I used to sweat way to much for nearly no reason until I started taking D3 (plus K2 and mag and my other supplements).
I have a question, so, if My diet is 1100 calories, how many calories do I have to “burn” to loose weight?? ����
i started going by the atkins induction stage i eat between 8001,000 calories daily and 20 carbs i eat alot of meat (protein) i lost 12.6 lbs in 14 days( today is the 14th day) and im on phentermine….i like your videos very informative
I don’t know why its so common for people to underestimate calories. I typically overestimate them
I’m going to show this video to my mom. She tries so many different diets and never losers more than a couple of pounds that is just gained back. I always tell her you have to burn more than you consume but you explain it so much better.
Can you guys just talk and give useful information without always having to goof off, it’s annoying
Wow you need a reality check
Also you called yourself an idiot lool
So true. I wasn’t losing any weight because I wasn’t tracking calories, I was eating more calories than I realized
I thought you were good until I saw this video. CICO is the only one true rule in weight/fat loss. I lost over 40kgs on it. How is it WRONG? All those negative effects you described, it’s only when people do it on an unreasonably big deficit. Your body needs fuel, food = fuel. But you still need to consume less than you expend to LOSE stuffs. Eat enough to continue function normally but eat lesser to lose. That’s why it’s sustainable. There are other factors that helps but CICO is not wrong looooool. Even if it’s clickbait much, it’s ugh.
Hey Sean like how you put a summary in the description you’re one of the very few who do so. Not that I don’t want to watch but it’s convenient and helps deaf individuals as well. Thanks Sean my fav fitness YouTube channel!
I lost brain cells when you bought up that guy’s IG post holy fuck
Its hard to eat if you are petite like me 60inches /5’0 ft. MFP recommends to wat 1200 to lose weight. Even though i eat healthy. 40/30/30 macros. Though i always ecceed in carbs (asian) haha. I eat at around 1450 to 2000 thats why i cant lose weight. Do strenght training thrice a week and cardio thrice a week.:(
I have partially disagree. Of course it matters the amount of calories you take in vs the ones you burn. That´s just undeniable. But 100% agree that the types of calories you eat makes efect on the body and helps you eat a lot more or eat proper and less.
i thought bro food was if it fits your macros, so bro food is when you eat lean and clean to hit your macros?
deficit will only go so far…fat gain is due to hormones (i.e., cortisol, insulin, test, etc.)….get these in check with a slight deceit and IF….you should be good…its not really just cals in vs cals out….body doesn’t really work that way
one of the guys that became mr olympia ate nothing but hamburgers and pizza, now what does that say to u lot out there in troll world
So whats your opinion of this?
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1550413112001891
Sir I have a question. Is eating 100 calories of coca cola and 100 calories of eggs have the same impact on the body?
Shit! I don’t know who to believe! Jason Fung says blah blah insulin because calories aren’t all equal etc. Now this! Back to Joe Rogan because keto is the answer right? Nope, guess again…��
If I add Vagina to my lean bulking diet do you think it will help my gains? @biolayne
I’m overweight and I freeze a lot more when I fast, I’m 60 pounds over my BMI. I also get cold often on a normal basis but worse when fasting ����♀️
Simple answer for anyone not wanting to watch the whole video:
Yes, yes it is. It’s that simple =)
Calories in vs. out is everything
Calories in calories out is great for people with great metabolisms. It does not apply to those who do not. Ive seen it waaay to many times with my own eyes.
Definitely one of the best explanation on the calorie argument! Great channel!
Thermodynamics means shit to you?! Ancestors didn’t have cars and didn’t have to sit on their ass all day long. Is this too much for your small brain to comprehend…..
Great explanation about the topic. With so many “gurus” out there claiming a lot of bs, it’s necessary to keep remembering the basics.
And what your opinion about eating carbs and fats in the same meal on a bulk.? Do you think it makes fat store more easily.?
Very educational with some comic relief. I have been struggling with a tummy tire. I do like to eat fruit with a handle full of nuts once a day. Are grains a no no? Any suggestions on healthy snacks would be appreciated. Your videos are a real eye-opener. Thank you!
Great video and great delivery of information thank you, would love it if you link the studies you referring to in the description box i want to read them.
If you are looking to burn fat, you should look up on google Skinnimaker System. That can help you get the body you deserve.
Looooove this! The collab, the info, the presentation — love it. Thank you both! ��
doesn’t calories in vs calories out take into account sleep, hormones etc after you find you maintenance calories after some time experimenting? i think the approach of calories in vs out keeps things simple and is the foundation of losing weight. Also calories in vs out understands that the body adapts thats why we start calories high and slowly cut down… its like everything you say in ur video does not dismiss the calories in vs out topic it is still the driving factor of weight loss regardless.
I can see where your coming from. I understand that no, you can’t calculate to the T on everything because 1 that’s unrealistic, and 2 unsustainable, and lastly whose to say you’ll keep the weight off when you stop counting calories. Being aware of the fact that mental health is so vital when it comes to body image and the foods you eat is so underrated because a lot of people look to simply loose the weight and not live a sustainable balanced lifestyle, by that I mean, yes eat healthy foods, but also, eat the shit you want too! Because giving yourself breathing room is a sustainable way to eat. Just control yourself and learn not to go crazy eating what you want. BALANCE & SUSTAINABILITY!!!! I loved this video, thank you Shelley!
I think what Sean, is trying to say is eat clean, eat how how much your body needs to function in normal conditions and increase quality food if your are into some sort of physical training, to keep your body in shape. Once again thank-you, Sean.
Come outta the bushes on em….’..
Stab em……
Gotta love these boys
Always great work you put in, I truly enjoy listening what you post & very clear & realistic….that’s why so far I like your channel only! I have a question & wondering whats your opinion in this, if on calorie deficit do you count green vegetable like broccoli etc or you dont have to count? Is it limitless to eat greens only without counting.
Thanks
Great video, but does this theory assume that all calories in are utilised/absorbed by the body? Could a varing percentage of calories in (determined by diet), be unutilsed by the body? Affecting the cico theory.
Several Waitrose products in the video. Sean do you live in the UK?
Thank you for the truth, Doctor!
A lot of people (like Gary Taubes) try to obfuscate and dance around the truth that long-term daily caloric intake is the main determinant of weight not necessarily the carbohydrate content of the diet.
Lol loved the Star Trek usage ������ and thank you for the warm words at the end so encouraging!!
So good to this collab. Too much science for the human mind to absorb!
You helped me so much with this video! Keto left me skinny fat and I’m trying to correct it by going to a CICO protocol. Thank you for bringing much needed clarity!!!
First off thanks to both of you for an excellent dialogue on calories. I’m striving to grasp the details of each video to the best of my ability. “A unit of heat” is very helpful. I do bodywork & do moderately intense martial arts a few days per week alternating aerobics, yoga & weight training. Loving Keto to sculpt, yet question the calorie scheme. Do I add more calories when doing workouts or take the avg macro for the day with my week to get the overall picture without counting exercise. Its getting to the nitty gritty in determination factoring how much food I need before I hold onto the last 4 pounds because I’m not eating enough…. I prefer to under eat than overeat as long as nutrition is king.
This video is so great! Just discovered you on youtube yesterday and have already watched 10+ videos. Love your science-based channel! Keep it up!
Very well presented. I had my suspicions that it was the fat loss that led to improvement in insulin sensitivity, possibly due to the fat threshold for that particular person. Low carb/Keto tends to be more effective for people with insulin resistance, but the inverse is found for people who are insulin sensitive.
I’m curious whether Keto preserves more lean body mass in obese individuals who don’t perform resistance exercise. Maybe people don’t gain fat on Keto, as easily, because they simply cannot digest that much in such a short period of time and it’s eliminated?
Thanks Sean. The big question is how much the body’s metabolism ie how efficiently energy is extracted from food can vary according to hormones, energy demands, etc. There can be unmetabolized calories in the bodies waste products, which can completely change energy balance. Or energy can be metabolized into a higher body temperature. so there are a bunch of variables in play.
I saw an interesting study recently. Mice that were fed a fixed amount of calories once a day lost weight compared with mice that were fed the same amount of calories but over 3 times a day.
A guaranteed way to lose weight is to eliminate snacks in between meals.
Thank you!! This video is awesome. There is so much bullshit information out there. I appreciate you explaining this. I’m saving this one!!
I like watch your videos and you have good talking. It’s easy for people to follow. And it’s interesting and funny how you demonstrate your points. Though I don’t have a lawn body like you have, But I like and agree with what you say. I think it’s good attitude and life style
If a person starts exercising and still maintains a neutral calorie balance, what would happen to the composition of mass over time depending on the exercise protocol? Say 6 months, 1 year, 2 years.
Just recently started counting my calories and have been losing weight! It’s crazy how scientifically proven facts actually work ������ I’ll never go back to believing the low carb crap again.
You can’t thwart the law of thermodynamics. I don’t care what diet you’re on.
this is a bunch of bullshit what kind of shit you guys feeding these ppl.
How do you only have 147k subs? Do you have another channel or are people retarded?
Cool video. Good Info. I have one little critique. Any chance you can lose the echo?
very good information and advice
full watch �� got our like ��Au����supported you��
Actually protein can be just as insulin spiking as carbohydrates. Also eating a ton of protein and low carbs, your body does a process called gluconeogenesis converting all that protein into glucose. If you want to be in true ketosis you have to eat higher fat low carbs low protein
I wish my nutritionist and surgeon had given me as much information as you have in the two videos I just watched by you. Thanks for your help. I will continue to follow you. ��♥☺
Malabsorption can affect a lot more than just weight loss. When you have dysbiosis along with many autoimmune diseases, it can cause weight gain. Take hashimotos disease for example. TPO antibodies can be influenced by gut permeability. What passes through the intestinal lining (when compromised, as w/ most AI diseases) Increases inflammation in your body and thyroid gland. Which causes a myriad of problems with thyroid hormones. Hypothyroidwhen TSH is too high along w/ various others, will cause weight gain. That is not caused by too many calories.
Not all of your information is accurate. While I agree that what you’re saying would apply to a completely healthy individual. It does not apply to every person.
Cico has some major flaws when trying to preach weight loss to people. I’ve lost 150 pounds over 2.5 years. This discussion is incomplete.
Quickhow many calories did you eat today? I mean, exactly. Apparently food packaging can be off as much as 20%. So for a 2000 calorie day, you don’t know if you ate 1600 or 2400. Then what exactly is your bmr. I mean, exactly. Which formula did you use? Do you possibly have a slower metabolism than other people? So you think your bmr is 2200 when it might actually be 1800. All of those biggest loser candidates had this problem. Many of us who have dieted a lot on our lives may have this damaged.
Quick, go ahead and eat a diet high in carbs. 60-65 percent. Watch the energy levels plummet after meals. Watch the hunger spiral out of control. Take the food scales everywhere
The big problem with cico is both sides of that equation cannot be known with precise accuracy. Therefore, on any weight loss plan where you try and create a math deficit, it is prone to significant error. So many times in my life a might have had 1200 calories in a day at 300 pounds and would run and run. You initially take off weight for a month, then the energy disappears and injury happens. Then weight comes back on. The entire time you are fighting significant hunger.
The solution is to change the quality of your food which will automatically change the quantity of your food. No calorie counting in the last 6 months. Down 40 pounds in that time and barely hungry. How?
Start with 40/30/30 for awhile. Get off the processed garbage. Calorie count and portion control to start understanding what is in your food. Slowly move away from cheat meals.
Watch Jonathan bailor in ‘the calorie myth’. It is life changing
Switch to a keto/low carb/paleo lifestyle. Use intermittent fasting, omad, etc. low carb regulates your insulin. This prevents those low carb energy moments after meals. It gives you control of your hunger back. Eat massive salads with tons of greens and.6 g of carbs per pound of lean body mass. I had started calorie counting on this and after a few months it was no longer necessary.
After 40 years of half starving myself and exercising myself to death to get to nearly 400 pounds I have just done the above to get to 225.
Cico is a silly discussion to tell overweight people alone. Attention must be paid to carb levels, processed foods, insulin, and creating reasonable deficits. Would you advise a 350 pound man to eat 1200 calories of 65% carbs and have him workout in the gym 1-2 hours a day? That was me dieting for years. 6 small meals. Whole grains. Oats. Orange juice. Cereals. Why not? I’d mathematically create a 2000-3000 calorie a day deficit on the white board. What percentage am I losing that was fat or muscle.
The problem with cico has been that it is only 1/2 of the discussion and it has been used for years to make fat people feel like idiot failures. If you can’t lose weight, obviously the problem is you can’t put down the donuts and you don’t exercise enough.
Love the white board. But to just put up cico is part of the problem.
How does insulin block fat burning? How does cortisol hold fat when we are stressed. Where did our ancestors 15000 years ago get 6-11 servings of carbs per day?
I feel you have a lot of good information here from 50,000 ft view and this is a big part of the equation. But 100% incomplete. This video will be used by bro science newbie trainers to ‘educate’ fat people coming into the gym seeking answers only to be left with math that no one knows the exact numbers to both sides of the equation on.
I follow weight watchers I’ve tried to track in both my fitness pal & w.w..it can can get confusing. I’ve lost track of what I should focus on. I’ve lost 67 lbs in 16 months but I have 130 to lose. I’ve gotten so discouraged and hit a stall especially due to bad habits during the pandemic. Any ideas on what I should focus on to get back started. My doctor also prescribed phetermine and toprimate yesterday but I’m so afraid of insomnia. I just need a plan. I canceled my weight loss surgery last year to see if I can do this on my own. Any advice would be great. Thank you so much for the education and support you provide!
It’s worse than one trainer (Jillian Michaels) giving really bad advice. The last 100 years we have been cattle fed (with grains). Carbohydrate toxicity is the #1 source of disease.
Yes more of these please! You two were great together. Going to go check out his channel now, too.
Do calories matter at what time you eat? For example if throughout the whole day untill i get home for dinner, lets say I was at 1000 calories…if I eat a big dinner of 700-800 cal but do no physical activity at till next morning, is it bad even if it totals a cal deficit at 1800?
Finally someone spoke out!! Thank you!! The best way to fuel is FAT! #fuelbyfat #respect ��������
Calories in, Calories outis an antiquated system. It doesn’t account for allergies, gut health, micro nutrients-or other variability’s, such as one cut of meat having much more fat content than the next-which changes the calorie value all together and macro/micro profile. The laws of thermodynamics apply to how fast a type of food is burned up in a cold scientific way, but that’s such a weird way of determining calories when their’s a whole list of complexities that occur once ingested. Layne seems to love equations because they are neat and tidy, but the body is so much more complex than that. Your level of testosterone has a massive effect on how food is absorbed and stored/burned, for instance. Also he tends to think that nutrient free fibers are somehow useful to the body even though the basic gut reaction is to get rid of it a fuckin sap. This is why guys like Paul Saladino or Shawn Baker can make easy work of this sort of obtuse paradigm. Also Layne hangs so much value on scientific studies-they’re good for certain measures, but generally they’re extremely inaccurate because our technology for taking measurements are still super primitive and rely on human honesty.
hmm I definitely agree that entering a calorie deficit does lower insulin resistance, but macros are surely important on top of this? I have insulin resistance, and really struggled to stay in a calorie deficit when still eating high(er) carb. (Likewise for multiple small meals/snacks). I know, I know, this isn’t about preaching the benefits of keto! But I don’t think it’s that wise to generalise and simply say that reducing calories improves insulin resistance the nuances have got to be addressed if you’re gonna make a statement like that. Maybe you’ve addressed that in another video, in which I apologise for my lack of foresight in that regard!
Often when I do intermittent fasting I am really cold and my gym trainer measured my fat and he said I’m a little high so I don’t understand if there’s any correlation I may be 5 pounds overweight no more and I do have hypo thyroid
IVF medications and prednisone made me fat, I did not eat anything differently but I did put on weight. I have since had a baby after 5 years of IVF and 6 miscarriages 1 baby, I do think that if you have insulin issues and you go low carb and lower your calories you of course lose weight, but I am telling you if you have insulin issues it takes a very very long time to get rid of belly fat. It is life style for me, I am still working on it by eating low carb healthy fats, moderate protein, 25kg down but still have stubborn belly fat. So hormones can make you fat, if you are injecting the fuckers right into your belly. Carbs make me super bloated and my blood glucose goes through the roof. But of course if you eat to much you will get fat, of course you have to watch what you eat if you want to lose fat. But Hormones play a huge role do not try to say they don’t.
So third degree burns are a good fat burning solution? Are butane torches a good method? Does it matter where you burn?
Omg, when 2 health nerds get together.�� Lol.. j/k I appreciate all the info & jargon.
It’s about Insulin, Dr Jason Fung has already disposed of the calories in vs calories out model.
Ive never don’t just a simple calories in vs calories out diet but I’m doing it now. My brother in law who is a personal trainer and he recommends this so I am giving it a shot.
Get u big time! It’s so frustrating to see peps arguing freely stuff they have no clue what they’re sayin whereas we study decades all nuances of such subject…and simply be quiet. Let’s not confuse a mere athelete with someone who’s besides it is a phd in physiology, protein metabolism…and so on…. I feel ya pal!! It’s hard to bump into so much bs over instagram “Fitness expert”! Great work layne!
How do stupid people have a YouTube channel? stop talking you just add to the confusion. Let the professionals do the talking. Ok… according to your video you are an idiot.
Great info! Is it feasible that on a specific diet, the wasted calories can amount to say 7000 kcals per day, that without really trying or restricting intake or upping exercise, that one can effectively burn an extra 1kg of fat daily?
Eating low glycemic index food or a Avocado 1 time a day but eating fast food the rest of the day + not moving. will fix nothing lol
What a delicious discussion; a perfect balance of science, integrated hypotheses and frank personal ideas. How refreshing. Thanks, you two.
Jeff Nippard just posted a video and stated that you can lose fat in a caloric surplus if you gain muscle at a rapid pace because of the differences in energy densities. But here you said you can only lose fat if you are in a caloric deficit. He has almost 900k followers so I thought it was worth it to address what he said.
Fantastic Sean. I’m literally roll my eyes and want to jump off a bridge every time I hear this. Especially from people who would be considered “experts”. This is purely speculation but I wonder if this mindset began from people who just didn’t lose weight on a diet and were sick of tracking. It almost takes away the responsibility and onus from someone if just eating less doesn’t bring about weight loss. I love your thoughts on this and I totally agree. I also know that I have definitely run into many people who espouse this mindset that just mean that you don’t have to TRACK calories to lose weight. Although as you have pointed out in a previous video that can only get you so far. Anyways as always thanks for the great video!
Hope you guys found this piece of advice helpful. Comment below and let me know what you think about it.
You can also take my physique quiz at https://Quiz.SeanNal.com to find the exact training and nutrition strategy I recommend for you based on your individual body type, goals and experience level.
Thanks for watching and see you in the next video.
Meh. I rather count to 20 (grams of carbs) than 2,000 (calories). It’s just easier if nothing else. Also, CICO doesn’t take GI & GU into account. Certain food and ingredients w/ a high GI will stop your body from losing weight no matter how many actual calories they are or wether your in a deficit or not. I’m sure I’m in a calorie deficit on Keto half the time, but I haven’t felt the need to keep track, I’m too busy loosing body fat to give a shit.Hit the gym twice a week. CICO and hitting the gym 14 times a week??? Ha! Good luck with all that. The old saying”Work smarter, not harder” rings a bell.
Most people forget that if you build more muscle, the more fat you lose lol. Why look for some silver bullet?
Only thing I’ve ever seen that works to lose weight is reducing daily calories.
anyone else struggling to find the hot instagram chick in the timeline?
Very helpful video that to be fair if people actually watched it and took note it has the potential to really help turn someone’s life around in terms of their food consumptions quandaries… Top man!!
Question: If you eat more protein, you are going to be in more of a deficit, assuming you control total calories? Because it takes a lot more energy to breakdown that food type. I assume this isn’t already taken into account with the normal recognize 4 calories per gram of protein? So is the real rough amount of calories per gram of protein around 20% less on the low end?
Basically is the TEF already accounted for in the 4 calories per gram of protein?
Love your videos, thanks for thanking the time and making all of these wonderful videos.
Sorry Sean but humans are not herbivores. Calories are an artificial construct that is not known to the human body. We are designed to eat meats and fats predominantly. Protein is a CELLULAR BUILDING BLOCK and the body does not prefer to use it as a FUEL. TO convert to fuel it has to work an inefficient bio-process to break it down (30-40% net loss in so called calories) and that waste is what is called “the thermal effect of food”. It is MUCH better to err on too much protein since the body would rather just DUMP/WASTE excess protein (urine) rather than spend energy converting it to glucose then to fat (two levels of conversion). But the whole CICO model is BOGUS. NO FOOD is proximate identical to any other food caloric content varies enormously by size of fruits, where it grew (solar energy converters), how much sugar, starch it contains etc. Animal meats and fish also vary radically in caloric content basted on what season it was harvested in and what the animals grazed on fat content can be highly marbled or quite lean even within same cuts of meats. At best CICO model is only a very rough guesstimate of what the energy content of food potentially is (but if one can’t digest it to begin with its just poorly absorbed to begin with). The whole preoccupation with calories is a waste of time if one is eating naturally by natural appetite sensing. Just eat whole foods that have good nutrients and it will be impossible to over eat. Our bodies sense NUTRIENTS NOT CALORIES. Most people are carb sugar addicted and are literal drug addicts. Most hunger arises from the sugar crash that never satisfies. Salt deficiency is also what is driving most people’s taste demands and the food marketers are brilliantly programming everyone to grab a bag of salty chips or crap food to get their salt fix that their brains are programmed to grab. Humans are 85% carnivores and if eating natural meats/fish/eggs and good natural fats and only seasonal small portions of fruits (not the super GMOd/hybrid extra large and sweet kind) then it will be impossible to over eat. At the bottom it is IMPOSSIBLE TO BURN OWN BODY FAT in a high insulin context above fasting insulin levels. If we eat 3 meals a day of sugars and starch laced foods (and not even snack) the only time one will burn body fat is for a couple hours into their evening sleep when insulin moderates. It takes 6+ hrs for insulin to drop from a high carb eating binge before one can burn body fat again.
3:27 isn’t it possible to lose 1 kg of fat and gain 2 kg of muscle and since fat has more than twice the calories of protein than you gained weight in a calorie deficit?
I lost 70 pounds by counting calories. Then I yo-yo’d between 40 pounds for years. Then gained it all back plus 50 pounds eventually. If calorie counting works for you, great. But for me it’s not at all sustainable and it just feeds into obsessive behavior. Focusing on nutritionally dense food and working out in ways that I enjoy is something I can maintain.
Can you please advice how calories are actually determined in any food. Is consuming different food groups together actually have any impact on calories in. For me if you have to burn the food and use the smoke and ash generated to determine the calories in any food and equate that to how humans eat and digest their food is flawed science.
FANTASTIC information! So wonderful to hear from two people who are passionate about the science. Great stuff. Need more, more, more!
wow, where to begin? back in the days there was no fast food and people worked all day, everyday. no computer, video games or tv…. now it’s different…. it’s evolution.
So i guess 99.9% of everybody else is wrong? just because you are gifted with genetic and what works for you doesn’t mean will work for everybody else means that you are right.
Calories deficit or surplus is a fact and backed up with evidences. so we should trust an attractive chick on youtube with no science degree whatsoever instead of proven researches done over decades. wake up people, this is a joke, it’s all about clickbaits and benjamins. anyone who believe what’s coming out of her mouth is an imbecile!
Only recently discovered you, really like your approach, now wading through your videos, relevant to me or not..thank you..
I think the thing overlooked is that the average modern non-athletic person eats too damn much and is probably why after people go off any diet they gain weight back. There seems to be no way to simply lose all this weight and then BAM, you’re fixed! Now go back to eating they way you used to and you’ll never gain weight again. So people may ask, “Does that mean I have to be on a diet for life?” Well, maybe we need to rethink what the proper amount of food is that we adults actually need. Probably a lot less than than we think.
Awesome Breakdown! Thanks for the truth and also being realistic and it’s nice to see someone that is not bullshitting the process. Thanks for the way you explained! Very very helpful!
If you eat more of any macronutrient ( protein, carbohydrate or fat ) you will gain adipose tissue.
I think I get it. You should count your carbs, if you’re diabetic, and also count your overall calories to lose wight, right?
Your eyes are so beautiful and you’re a very compassionate person, it’s nice to have doctors like yourself. I am trying so hard to count the calories when I prepare Indian food myself. I have found a very nice app that is adds free, https://www.nutritionix.com/, I really like it and it even links with Fitbit app. I am not able to do the ketogenic diet even though I would very much like to because I’m a sugar addicted.
Just the thought of being on a diet makes me want to eat things that I don’t even eat normally, such a messed up head. I like the idea of intermittent fasting, so I just started doing that since yesterday. Thank you for your videos.
