Ashley Koff argues that calories alone don't tell the whole story. What matters: the quality of the food itself, whether your body can actually digest and absorb it, and how much you eat at once. Overfilling your system at one sitting wastes nutrients, like overfilling a gas tank.
I tried that calories in, calories out game, you know, either just so reducing my calories or so increasing my, you know, caloric expenditure. I think at the end of the day, your calories are a source of energy, and so what type of energy you give your body matters. So the quality of those calories is going to matter. That's one pillar of better nutrition. Your body needs to recognize it to be able to use it. Your digestion is another key component. We give a lot of credit today for somebody consuming calories, like, oh, you had kale or you had salmon, those are healthy for you, but they're really not healthy for you until they actually get in the form that they're able to be used. The other part is calorie in the day, like this total amount is not how our body works. If our body gets too much at one time, it's like going to your gas tank and like still filling up the gas even though the tank is full. If anything, it's wasteful, but it also is dangerous. So the amount, the quantity does matter. That's very different than portion control, but it's about how much does my body need at one time.
