[QUOTE="MikeTurin, post: 1270161, member: 318833"] Another small thing is that, except for highly refined or particularly simple foods the calorie intake is an estimate, and also the calorie absorbption. 100 g of oil are 900 kCal, easy, but 100 g of peanuts are really 650 kCal? One cup of Spaghetti with butter and parmesan is really 500 kCal ? Or a slice of pizza, even a simple one like Napoli or Margherita could change the caloric intake depending on cheese type and quality, the oil quantity in the sauce, and even if in the over are using salt or wheat... Are you sure that 1900 calories were actually 1900 calories? I think that the calorie restricted diets are working not on the energy balance, but on the increased awareness one has on what to eat. As a lighter note, I've driven when I was young I've driven a Fiat Panda 30. 600 cc air cooled 30 HP engine. Like this: [IMG]http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/3886/vanomotore30.jpg[/IMG] Being a young student I was really aware of the mileage of the car. Even for a simple mechanical mass produced engine like this the energy consumption so themileage of a given quantity of petrol could oscillate in a 25% range. A change of oil and new spark plugs improve the mileage, but even the temperature and the weather could change the efficiency of the system. I think that a living thing that is more variable and more complex could have an efficiency that is really variable. So one diet fits all does't work. :) Instead Fiat Pandas old model are running fine! My mom still drives a 1999 Panda (with the 45 HP water cooled engine and electronic injection, so without the problem with the ignition coil and the carbureator that plagued the air cooled engine...)
