Question 1

Provide a rationale for the following statement: "Too much meat is just as fattening as too many potatoes." ​

Accepted Answer

The rationale is based on the concept of energy storage in the body. The body first uses the energy-yielding nutrients to build new compounds and fuel metabolic and physical activities. Excesses are then rearranged into storage compounds, primarily body fat, and put away for later use. Thus, if you take in more energy than you expend, whether from carbohydrate (e.g., potatoes), fat, or protein (e.g., meat), the result is an increase in energy stores and weight gain. Similarly, if you take in less energy than you expend, the result is a decrease in energy stores and weight loss.
