far from true. a calorie is not just a calorie regardless where its from. this is far from the truth.Calories all takes presidence over macro combinations whether trying to gain or lose.

even the "calorie counting system" is pretty much a joke as it is. (look into how they actually do it and come to conclusions on cals,hint; setting food on fire...)
cals matter, but more so what they are to an extent.
your better off with more cals and a med protein/fat and low carb than less cals and high/med carb, protein and low fat.
the myth is that a calorie is a calorie...No. Just no. Please stop it with this old broscience myth crap. Calories are king. Always was, always will be. Macros are second. Even with the right macro set up, if you're eating too many calories, you're not going to lose weight. For Joe Blow dieter, they can simply eat less calories and lose fat. As an athlete or weight lifter, our goal is also to maintain muscle. Therefore, macros become the secondary factor in outcome.
If calories and macros are in place, then you will succeed in hitting your goals, regardless of the foods you eat. "But eating cake and ice cream will give less results than eating chicken and rice!". Bullshit! Where this argument falls short is that ice cream and cake lack protein, and, contain so many carbs and fats, you will fill those macros extremely fast and be left with nothing to eat except for dry whey isolate powder trying to make up for the protein you still need. You cannot JUST eat cake and ice cream in a flexible diet and meet your required macros. This is where the whole argument goes out the window.
Instead, IIFYM/flexible dieting allows people to eat whatever they want, as long as they meet their macro requirements, but everyone soon realizes that it's not all just cake and ice cream. Hell, I eat hotdogs, bread, pasta, ice cream, chili, nachos...and I get ripped from doing it. No cardio either, and no, this isn't genetics. There are entire threads of hundreds of people doing it over on the BBing.com forum and showing their results. Literally, hundreds. I put it off for an entire year before finally giving in to it, and I am glad i did. NOt only did it work amazingly, I now have a life, and I now realize the false information I Had been reading on the forums and BBing articles for all these years.

Sure. Let me gather some good sources for you. Let me just warn you that reading the stuff and sometimes seem far-fetched, but when you finally get over it and apply it, the results are nothing short of amazing. You soon realize that pretty much throw all the classic science out the door and that science is ever-changing. A lot of the data that we have is bias and results vary wildly as a result. This is why it just seems unlikely workwould you mind putting the link to the information your talking about please. I would like to read, and maybe put to use myself.
Thanks
