- Don't eat 600 calorie bombs from carls jr that fit inside the palm of your hand and don't fill you up still. Eat more satiating food for the calories, which is fibrous vegetables and proteins. Avoid liquid calories and other such things that are easy to overeat. - Eat like my skinny indian friend. He takes a bite, chews it for quite a while, and then take another bite about a few minutes later. He doesn't do this on purpose, it's completely habitual. Such a slow eating speed really helps him stay skinny. - Stop snacking on high calorie nuts, chips and bars. If you just habitually nibble on food that is in front of you until it's gone, recognize that and don't put food infront of you.

Alternatively, and easier for some: put low calory food in front of you. It may be possible to grow fat from eating raw celery and tomatoes, but it certainly is harder than growing fat from eating burgers and chocolate.

  >It may be possible to grow fat from eating raw celery and tomatoes Doing this with celery will be more difficult as it takes more energy to digest than is gained from it. I had a humorous image in my mind of someone trying to get fat via only veggies, imagine the volume of food they would have to eat every day! Examples: The Kimchi I had with lunch was 15 calories, the half bag of russels sprout I had last night (excluding the oil oil cooked in) 130 calories. Edit: Why the downvote?

I'm not one of the downvoters, but "satiety of eating unrestricted quantities of vegetables outweighs any caloric intake" approach only works if you don't add fats or sugar sauces.

      I'm pretty sure I didn't recommend eating unrestricted amounts of veggies, I did laugh about the idea. After all, I would have to eat a walmart/target size bag FULL of brussel sprouts to get my daily allowance of calories from brussel sprouts. That is a huge volume of food! I'm not sure if would be possible. I was responding to someone talking about eating "raw celery". Vegetables in general are low in calories (before as you and I mentioned, oil sugar etc are added), BUT raw celery is well known to have a net negative impact.

        Celery does not have a negative net impact. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celery#Nutrition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celery#Nutrition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_calorie_food https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_calorie_food It's a common misconception.

        I stand corrected- thats what I get for believing what I was talk in highschool health class. Celery is simply very low in calories. Btw, why would you create a user name just to post the above?
