Different foods have different effects on your metabolism, and, relevant to this article, different effects on weight. There is very strong evidence on this point. You are going to be better off eating 200 calories of protein than 200 calories of sugar. The idea that "all calories are equal" has been quite damaging to public health.

- hmate9 11y agoIt is true that they have different effects, but they are not as big as net calorie intake. You'll lose weight much faster if you eat 1500 calories a day with just chocolate bars than if you eat 1800 calories a day from meat.
