[QUOTE="Guzzler, post: 1938519, member: 408573"] Nope. It is the source of the calories that matter. We get calories from three sources (macros) carbohydrates, fats and protein. With T2 Diabetes we cannot metabolise carbs properly so we must try to switch from carbs to fats and protein (protein is best used for other purposes so we do not usually rely on that). I would guess that there are days when my calorie intake is super high but it matters little because I am powered by fats and use those fats efficiently as fuel. [/QUOTE]
