Ah, so gaining then.
I regularly make smoothies as a breakfast replacement. They're adapted from Brooke Goldner's green smoothies, but altered to be more of a meal in itself. Can't give exact numbers because I just eyeball it, but I densely pack dark green leafy vegetables til it's about 40% full (the more variety of leafies the better), rolled oats, pumpkin seeds or walnuts, frozen mixed berries (again variety is best), ground flax seed, and raisins or dates to sweeten.
I make this for health benefits as well as the convenience of a fast breakfast, and yet it just so happens to taste great too. Stop believing the nonsense that it has to be either one or the other.
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).
Most vegetables are far less calorie dense than virtually all other foods. In addition, plants and fungi are high fiber foods. Fiber is well known to promote satiety, being a natural way to promote our own body's expression of glp-1 hormones.
One of the biggest challenges in weight loss is that most people's appetites are survival machinery evolved to avoid starvation at all costs in environments that may potentially be lacking in food - but we now live in an industrial environment that not only has removed all the ways we would normally get exercise naturally through physical labor; but has surrounded us at every angle by extremely calorie dense junk food that's specifically formulated to be addictive and hijack that survival machinery.
Exercise is important but you can't out-exercise a bad diet, and starvation (which is exactly what a calorie deficit is) does not work either. Any method that works has to be able to deal with our toxic food environment. That's why the glp-1 drugs are popular even though they tend to plateau. And that's why vegans tend to average the lowest body weight of any dietary group.
Ah btw, why do they group fruits and veggies together? Fruits are also relatively calories dense.
And also corn, wtf. Corn is potato and beans category.
While i agree with your point (exercise or not, you'd need to change your meal plan to lose weight that keeps), that graphic has issues.
Yeah I do agree about the fruits, that is a little strange. Fruit would probably sit somewhere between veggies and beans. Maybe they just average it?
I think it's just the issue of trying to simplify things. You can endlessly get into the details and end up with a monstrously complicated and useless infographic that is technically accurate. For example, even in the category of vegetables alone - carrots are technically more like potatoes, but colloquially still seen as a vegetable. And corn, despite being a grain is nutritionally more on the starchy side making that also more like potatoes.
But if the graphic reflected all that, the basic idea would get lost.
Btw, where is pasta here?
In between meat and potatoes, beans, and rice.
It depends wildly on the fruit and vegetable. For example, cabbage is about 0.25 calories per gram but carrot is 0.36, and strawberries are 0.32. An apple is 0.5. (All numbers from Wolfram Alpha).
So you'd need 4 stomachs full of vegies per day?
Lulz. I would not recommend a diet made of purely vegetables for a prolonged period of time.
Celery?
I always thought so because a very reliable man in the pub told me it, but it turns out not to be the case.
Pretty sure lettuce is one.
There are about 150 kcal in a litre of lettuce smoothie
How many calories would it take to digest a litre of lettuce smoothie?
A lettuce smoothie is not the same thing as eating lettuce. By turning it into a smoothie, you increase the calorie density and make it much easier to consume a higher quantity faster. That is likely enough to turn it into a higher calorie food.
Not really, the calorie density is exactly the same per kilo. It's just easier and quicker to drink a smoothie than to chew through a kilo of lettuce.
I'm guessing it must be easier for the intestines to digest it if it's blent into tiny pieces too.
What about ice?
Calories negative.
In order to avoid having to list exceptions to the above posts statement, you are now required to sprinkle a bit of sugar on every icecube you consume.
I do that every day, my friend, with a special drink I made called a Baja Blast on Ice.
That's one part Baja Blast.
One one-fifteenth part ice.
One one-one-hundredth part brown sugar.
And one one-fiftieth part lime slice.
Ice(frozen water, right?) is food? In which culture?
Not enough people seem to realize you can do things for the love of the game
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."
Why eat fiber when there's gum karaya? Why stop smoking when there are iron lungs??
Hold up, we can just do things just for enjoyment?
...really?
But, how will our overlords benefit from this?
gaining then
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're making someone else drink it, then it's anyone's guess
Impossibru!
Wait. That's illegal.
Is that a metal straw? I wonder how hard it would be to clean one of those.
They are usually dishwasher safe.
The metal straws I own came with a brush that's the right size to clean them.
I don't know why I forgot pipe cleaners existed. My bad. I have been wanting to pick up one haha
For the love of the shakes
