    Waking up hungry (and reaching for sugar/carbs) in the middle of the night is also a sign of a blood sugar regulation problem. Make sure each meal has protein, carbs, and fat to sustain and balance energy & blood sugar.

    Adam is being polite to say that "Calories in calories out may be true, but there are a lot of things that are true that aren't helpful." Calories in, calories out is actually not accurate in the first place if you're talking about about calories that go in the mouth and calories that you burn metabolically (as opposed to excreting them as waste.) Wood chips are very high in calories, but you can eat 50,000 kCal in wood chips without gaining a single ounce of fat. And although that's an extreme example, it's true on a much smaller scale as well. Calories from protein are fundamentally different from those in fats and carbs because they come with nitrogen, and fats and carbs are different because they induce different metabolic responses even when the calorie intake is the same. Of course calories in, calories out is true in a thermodynamic sense, but that doesn't mean that it's a helpful way to understand the causes of body composition changes.

    Ok the advice about eating heavier meals during the day and less at night sounds similar to how people in Continental Europe eat. Their heaviest meal of the day is at lunch. For supper they eat something lighter. A calorie dense light meal for supper could be something like vegetable soup.

    The 1978 Lord of the Rings film did get a sequel!… kinda. It was made by Rankin/Bass (famous for those christmas stop motion films) who made The Hobbit animated film in 1977. The Return of the King was released in 1980, skipping the first two books of the trilogy. The studio had somewhat of a rivalry with Bakshi, so it's kinda strange that the three animated movies line up so well, and it has been stated that Rankin/Bass had always had plans to make their sequel without regard to the Bakshi film's existence. I encourage everyone to go watch this weird little piece of animation history.

    I suppose it's because we live in the US… but does everything have to be about calorie cutting? is it a universal goal to lose weight all heath diets tend to be around losing weight,and while not a nutritionist, there has to be more to nutrients than calories counting. Specifically thinking about the egg whites that seems insanely wasteful and eggs aren't very calorie dense compared to most protein rich foods like meats, nuts, legumes.
    The math doesn't really seem to add up…at least for my diet: 3 eggs ~ 210 cal + two sliced of healthy bread 220 = 430 some of the oils used to cook will add let's say another 150 which sounds like more than reality. 580 for breakfast is normal. I can do that 5 times a day which puts me at 2900, which perfectly healthy for most men who take a walk once a day. Doesn't sound like I need to remove yolks…

    Just want to say I’ve been watching the both of you religiously for the better part of two years. And it’s interesting because you two are basically the opposite of my personalities. One person who cooks for taste and curiosity and the other person who cooks with calories in mind more regimented and less curious due to ingredient limits. Either way both have had a positive influence on me. Happy to see the crossover.
