Quantity is more important than composition. Pretty much anything can be converted into fat, as long as there’s an excess of calories.
One Chipotle burrito contains 1200 to 1400 calories. [/quote]
By quantity, you must mean calorie density.
It’s important to choose high nutrition, high antioxidant, low calorie, low glycemic index, high fiber food.
For example, I have plain oatmeal with hot water for breakfast. If you eat the flavored, sugared oatmeal, then you’re defeating the purpose.
I’ve learned to eat very plain, bland food. But I find it delicious because I can taste and appreciate the natural unadulterated ingredients.[/quote]
This is one time that I completely agree with Brian. You have no idea what our bodies learn, at first, to tolerate, and later, crave. When I was a teenager I had my jaw broken. After 3 months of being wired shut I had put no greasy foods into my system. Sugars yes but because the only thing I could eat at lunch time was Mc Donald’s shakes.
When I finally had my jaw unwired the first meal I had was baked ziti. One of my favorites. I could barely eat it. The oil and grease in it were barely tolerable!
I learned then how tough it was to eat this crap at first and then crave it.
After the grease hiatus I could taste things like vegatable and fruit with such clarity…
Infact, baked ziti sounds great right now… Sigh… and I wonder why I am 30lbs overwieght…
