Well I was watching the food network the other day and saw them making fried chicken which sparked my question. Like I said before I've started to employ the strategy of counting calories for the day and that strategy is pretty much based around the concept that as long as you don't consume more calories than you burn for the day, you won't gain weight. Which led me to the question, what is the difference between 2000 calories of fried chicken rather than 2000 calories of veggies/fruits --- in terms of fat gain. Again, I realize veggies/fruits give more nutritional benefits but I'm strictly asking about fat gain only. |
To answer your question specifically, no. You won't gain more weight fat either way. At least not an amount that would make is significant or even noticeable.
Of course that isn't a free pass to eat whatever the heck ya want, which hopefully you know. We are speaking strictly weight here.
Health is another story all together, which was covered above nicely by Trevor.  | | |
