What the fuck?

I mean if I eat a pound of salad or a pound of meat, would that mean I could gain one pound if I didn't burn any of it?

It seems like no but logically it could be yes.

I need a pound of chocolate cake.

1 lbs of meat is not equal to a lbs of salad by calories.
you body breaks all food into the component parts and then converts it to it's needs.

so weighing you food makes no sense because theoretically you could gain 5 lbs from eating a 1.5 lbs cake
thats because fat cells are made up of 85% water.

remember :
fat= 9 calorie's per gram
carbohydrates= 4 calories per gram.

But animal fat is harder to digest than strait carbs
