sugar in everything! :rejoice
A can of coke is only 161 calories.
I prefer the McDouble and will pay the extra 29 cents :hmph

140 calories, actually. I just checked for a 12oz/355ml. Point remains though: A lot of American food/drinks are high in calories.
The McDouble is 29 cents less than the double cheeseburger you gigantic fraud.:existential
This and salt. Plus large portions.
A goddamn can of Coca-cola is 200 calories. A lot of American food is Calorie dense. Then you throw in fast-food that is 1,800calories (just for a burger no fries/combo, for instance) and it becomes really high in calories really fast.
It's very easy to get fat if you completely stop caring, back in Feb 2019 I ballooned to 190 pounds (6 foot tall) and so I started tracking EVERY SINGLE FOOD that I eat. This monumental task was actually pretty trivial and I have no idea why people make such a big deal about it but it took me like 2 months to get back down to 165 with like a 1500 calorie diet (~500 calorie deficit). Since stopping the deficit, I've leveled out at 170 pounds and just eat between 1900-2100 calories a day.
However, this makes it very difficult for me to eat with normals. Particularly at work lunches when everyone thinks I'm shaming them by feeling full off half an appetizer. I didn't believe it until a couple years ago when I converted completely to office work but the average person actually seems to eat a full-sized breakfast, lunch, and dinner every single day and yet they spend 90% of their life feeling hungry. It's like they took factory farm science and applied it to humans.
1800 calorie for one burger?!
The restaurant, real filling burgers I recall the calorie count of tending to be 1000 at the highest

further proof that benji is terrible at math :bolo
At least now you guys have trans fats.
I miss being able to eat obscene amounts of bad food without gaining a single pound, but then I turned 30. :fbmyou can do it
Michael Phelps eats 12000 calories a day, so I won’t take your caloric shaming
Ok, just for you REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEtious:Just as an example, from Bore favorite Taco Bell™:Man, and here I thought the XXL grilled Stuft burrito would be a diet item.
Calories 870 - XXL Grilled Stuft Burrito, no combo, no drinks. Just from it alone. (Note: Google doesn't list ingredients or extras in it), you throw in a combo which includes a drink... doesn't include the fountain drink but let's go with...
Calories 230 - Mtn Dew Baja Blast Freeze(20oz)
And that's 1,100 calories just from two items.
This thread is making me hungry. About to head out to McDonalds or Taco Bell.the correct answer is advertising ;)

how do we know they really ate the amounts they were supposed to? :thinking
Most studies conclude kinda the opposite of that show.. other than some more wide variation in things like reaction to sugars humans for the most part have very similar metabolisms.
But I'd be curious if you had a link or something; was it a TV Show or a scientific stufy?

It was a TV show. Although, I thought this was kind of established anyway; that there is a genetic element to obesity.
Here's something I found that jives with everything I've read about.
https://examine.com/nutrition/does-metabolism-vary-between-two-people/QuoteOne study[1] noted that one standard deviation of variance for resting metabolic rate (how many calories are burnt by living) was 5-8%; meaning 1 standard deviation of the population (68%) was within 6-8% of the average metabolic rate. Extending this, 2 standard deviations of the population (96%) was within 10-16% of the population average.[1]
Extending this into practical terms and assuming an average expenditure of 2000kcal a day, 68% of the population falls into the range of 1840-2160kcal daily while 96% of the population is in the range of 1680-2320kcal daily. Comparing somebody at or below the 5th percentile with somebody at or above the 95th percentile would yield a difference of possibly 600kcal daily, and the chance of this occurring (comparing the self to a friend) is 0.50%, assuming two completely random persons.QuoteMetabolic rate does vary, and technically there could be large variance. However, statistically speaking it is unlikely the variance would apply to you. The majority of the population exists in a range of 200-300kcal from each other and do not possess hugely different metabolic rates.
There are way more people who claim their metabolism causes their obesity than science can account for is generally what I've read.
Some studies have focused upon inheritance patterns without focusing upon specific genes. One study found that 80% of the offspring of two obese parents were obese, in contrast to less than 10% of the offspring of two parents who were of normal weight.[27]
The thrifty gene hypothesis postulates that due to dietary scarcity during human evolution people are prone to obesity. Their ability to take advantage of rare periods of abundance by storing energy as fat would be advantageous during times of varying food availability, and individuals with greater adipose reserves would more likely survive famine. This tendency to store fat, however, would be maladaptive in societies with stable food supplies.[28] This is the presumed reason that Pima Native Americans, who evolved in a desert ecosystem, developed some of the highest rates of obesity when exposed to a Western lifestyle

Then you throw in that fast-food places don't have their calories counts on the menu (because of eye-strain/ease of use) and don't really keep their calorie counts somewhere easy to see [if a national chain] or simply don't have one [local/smaller places]) and it's REALLY hard to count-calories. Even with a FitBit [for instance] you have to scan the product, which you can't really do with Fast Food places but can with products you cook at home. But if you combine spaghetti, sauce, etc. you have to scan the products individually and even then you can't really "eyeball" a serving size that would fit the FitBit/etc. apps that try to count.
