[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 1849456, member: 6467"] Fat and alcohol. Struggling to see the problem here........:cool: I think the calories may be a red herring because not all calories are created equal. It takes a lot more energy to process fats, so the real calorie gain may not be equivalent to the value generated by burning it in a laboratory. As a general rule, simple carbohydrates are easier for the body to process than complex fats so as I understand it the body can extract more energy, and also store any excess as fat. This leads to the slightly confusing guidance that you eat fat to get slim, and too many carbohydrates make you fat. [/QUOTE]
