Calories are calories. People can eat huge plates of rice because that is all they eat and don't snack or drink soda.
A huge plate of rice might be 1000 calories, but if all a person eats otherwise are some veggies and some tea, there is nothing unsustainable about that
- washadjeffmad 9y agoCalories aren't just calories, and there's not a lot to support that outside of calorimeters, which our bodies are somewhat more complex than. Check NCBI/PubMed for some great insight into why the molecules matter.
