[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1590889, member: 21149"] Hi. First it's probably best to ignore calories completely as the body doesn't work like a food test furnace. The metabolic process for fats consumed in food is very different from the process for carbs and the fact that fat has twice the calories becomes irrelevant. Carbs are so easily absorbed and if in excess stored as fat by the liver that they need some control. So best to think carbs rather than calories. Always look at the back of any food packaging for the total carbs and in general ignore anything on the front of the pack. [/QUOTE]
