  • Outside of a human body, a calorie is a calorie. Once inside being digested things get more complex. What I stated was not pulled out of thin air, take a look here

    The truth is: Energy measurements of foods do not accurately reflect the energy a human body will get out of them.

    Not to mention the fact that different people get different energy out of the same foods, since an integral part of our digestive system are hundres of different species of bacteria that vary between humans.


  • Bodybuilding style Lifting. Wish I knew that science based influencers are just using science as a gimmick to make new videos and bold claims for short form content.

    Lifting is hard when done right but its not super complex. The basics are the same they were decades ago:

    • be consistant and stick to a routine at least 6 months.
    • Learn the proper lift techniques
    • learn how to train to failure (failure is not mandatory every set but you need to know where it is in order to train close to it for adaptations to occur)
    • Keep progressing weights when you can without sacrificing technique. (Progressive overload is both the driver and the result of muscle growth, as long as your work sets are close to failure the growth stimilus is there)



  • Damn, thats tough, you have strict limitations on the level of physical exertion you can do. This means that your diet is really the only realistic way to manage your weight.

    You mentioned you already eat healthy snacks but if you are still overweight, you have been eating more kcal than you use, over a long period of time. Tracking calories is not fun but have you tried it? Its not something you need to do forever, just long enough to have an understanding of what you need to eat.
