That makes calories a sloppy measurement with something that look like hysteresis. Some portion of some calories for some people are not bio-available. Kelvin Hall has several papers that demonstrate the hysteresis without naming the property. Atwater through out half his data because some people were not consistent to the others. With this information, what is a calorie to the individual? Sorry to go all mathematical on yous.

How do you count the calories in slices of fatty brisket with various streaks of fat running through it? Keeping my meals down to one or two a day seems to be my only form of calorie control,, not for fasting sake really, just makes me feel better. Maybe calorie counting helps some feel in control, its the opposite for me.xxxxxxxxxxxxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15005408209287348972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-73557431119951121252012-08-20T18:03:03.390-05:002012-08-20T18:03:03.390-05:00and if "we" have trouble sorting out all...and if "we" have trouble sorting out all the things that affect metabolism, people like ... ahem ... some of my friends would just throw up their hands and go out for ice cream. ;-)tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254045589639201707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-49416303388689863982012-08-20T15:51:37.028-05:002012-08-20T15:51:37.028-05:00calories count but you CAN'T count 'em <...calories count but you CAN'T count 'em <- exactly right :)<br /><br />I think alot of people end up talking about calories because it is something more tangible and more measurable.<br /><br />No one goes around say "oh I gained weight becuase my adipocyte insulin sensitivity was too high", or "I gained weight because my AgRP was too high" , or "I couldnt lose weight because I had hardly any dopamine d2 receptors"<br /><br />The irony is that stuff is far more important than calories but ofcourse we never talk about it because we never "see" it and its virtually impossible to measure it.Kindkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841418412425329998noreply@blogger.com
