Often, in various articles, we can find information on food that makes you fat, fat-burning foods, and similar things.
The potential problem of internet and freedom of expression is that today’s opinion can become an article and a reference to the people for further spread of inaccurate, incomplete and unanticipated information.
That is why today we want to kill this myth about the foods that make you fat.
How can a food make you fat?
he starting point for this theory is the division of healthy and unhealthy foods and the belief that “unhealthy” foods are making you fat. We wrote about how healthy food does not exist, so we suggest reading this article to remind yourself.
It is important to know your daily energy needs.
A similar thing can be said here too. If we know how much energy we need to take in one day and we take less than what we need, will white bread we consume make us in that case? Will any carbohydrate we consume make us fat?
Of course not.
It is also necessary to meet the minimum protein intake with the calorie limit, but this is another topic, it is now enough to know that the food does not make us fat.
What make us fat then?
It is the amount of food we eat
Body mass increase follows a very simple formula, taking more energy than we need. If we eat eggs and asparagus over our daily calorie limit, this will result in increased body mass!
Excessive calorie intake make us fat.
If we eat anything over our daily calorie limit, it results in increased body mass.
That is why term of foods that make us fat absolutely makes no sense. It is the caloric value we eat that is affecting our body mass.
What have we learned today?
- Food that make us fat is based on healthy and unhealthy division of food
- For weight gain, it is necessary to eat more than what we need
- It is not the food but the amount of food we eat
