      I had a coworker who would ask me every single time she saw me eating a salad “Decided to eat healthy today?” And I was like “Goddamn, do you see all this ranch? I just like leafs, yo.”

    There’s no food that makes you burn calories instead of absorbing them. So all food is for gaining weight, exercise is for losing weight (or starving yourself).

    Hold up, we can just do things just for enjoyment?
    …really?

    But, how will our overlords benefit from this?

      I make a strawberry “icecream” like smoothie purely for enjoyment, but it’s also just 200g strawberries 100g milk and like a tbsp of honey and it is low calorie high fiber yet I still eat it when i’m not trying to lose weight

      Depends on how many calories you’ve burned and how many you’ve eaten. It could be a break-even smoothie, you don’t know

        Unless you ran to a farm to milk a cow, then to a different farm to pick the fruit and back home, it’s very unlikely to be close to break even.

          You don’t understand what I said then. You do not know the necessary information to make the judgement on whether this will make a person gain weight: you do not know

          • the ingredients in the smoothie (could be fuckin yogurt, milk and berries for all you know, which could be like 100-200kcal)

          Or

          • the amount of calories that person has or will burn that day (if they are in a caloric deficit higher than the calories in the smoothie, it will not cause weight gain)

          The existence of calories don’t automatically cause weight gain, excess calories cause weight gain.
