    "The amount of calories on a nutrition label doesn't mean that is how many calories you're going to get out of it." For someone who counts calories, this is pretty valuable information for me. I never knew that on most things, you don't get all of the calories listed. I always thought that the amount of calories on the nutrition label is exactly how many calories you would get. Thank you so very, very much for making this video. I'm glad I finally know this stuff now because like I said, I had no idea that you don't always get all of the calories that's listed on the label. So now, I definitely have to rethink how I'm going to count my daily caloric intake.

      @scoops2 2 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      Well since it’s the total amount of calories the food contains you at least know what the maximum calories you will get from it are. So if you’re counting calories in order to stay below a certain amount, you can be certain you’ll get as much as is on the label *or less*. The key being that no matter how your body is wired you can’t get more energy than exists in the food.

    Thank you for specifying that extracting energy varies from an individual to another and accordingly to the type of food we eat. Many people get this wrong and become obsessed with calorie counts as it is highly advertised by the food industry. It's better to eat 400 kcal of fruit than 200 kcal of industrial chocolate garbage bar. I suggest for the viewers to watch the video on sugar and how it affects the brain, or even the "fed up" documentary.

    There's also metabolic efficiency to consider. Your body changes, adapts to whatever you are doing with it. So the more you physically do, the more efficient your body becomes. This presents a large problem for the media that wants to sell you diet garbage. The media likes to tell you the exact opposite of how your body works, saying that larger people have slower metabolism. This is flatly false. A basic physics equation W = Fs (work equals force over distance). The more something weighs, the more force it takes to move it over the same distance given a specific interval of time. What this means is that large people require more calories to do the same amount of work as smaller people, and thus, they have to have a higher metabolic rate. An athlete can utilize smaller amounts of calories to do the same amount of work because their body has physiologically changed to become more efficient. That being said, chemically there is a *HUGE* monkey wrench in the works called hormonal state. The balance of hormones like testosterone, estrogen, cortisol and epinephrine can drastically change metabolism. Estrogen is a real killer, it promotes fat storage, and fat storage in turn.. produces more estrogen. Cortisol (caused by emotional and physical stress) enables the dreaded belly fat storage. And here's the kicker, with enough testosterone, you can burn your fat stores, build muscle and you don't require as much work and calories to do it.
    In short, there's a whole lot to this that the diet industry tries to make you ignore. They push diuretics (and call it cleanse) which stresses your kidneys, and any weight loss is water weight. They add stimulants too (and say it gives you energy). Here's the kicker, they use caffeine as their active ingredient. That doesn't work because:
    1. Your liver and kidneys "cleanse", and they don't need anything special to do it.
    2. Water weight is needed, your body is 55%-75% water and fluctuates frequently.
    3. These are unregulated supplements, quality, purity, and consistency are *not legally mandated.* Recently some supplements have been analyzed and found that they do not contain what they advertize. well.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/02/03/new-york-attorney-general-targets-supplements-at-major-retailers/?_r=0

      "A basic physics equation W = Fs (work equals force over distance)"
      that's incorrect. W = force x distance. Not force over distance.
      "The more something weighs, the more force it takes to move it over the same distance given a specific interval of time"
      That is correct except for the time part. Work has nothing to do with time, what you're confusing it with is Power.
      P = W/T (power is work done over time). We can replace Work with F*D so we get P = F*D/T and then we can replace distance over time with speed and you get Power = Force * Speed.
      Everything else you said was correct I just had to nitpick on the physics and math lol.

      @@Caaro99 I would disagree with you. He said work is equal to force over a distance. This is correct. Force applied over a distance is equal to work. More specifically, it is the dot product of the two vectors - distance and force. So when they are in the same direction it is Force multiplied by the distance.

Around 2 years ago, I used to count calories for almost half a year. Together with moderate exercise, I lost 7 kg. However, once I stopped maintaining a healthy lifestyle, I gain backed 10 kg and it was dreadful. Now I'm trying to get back on track again. This time I'm not gonna count calories. Instead of that, I'm eating more mindfully and trying to become more active in daily life. :')

    Does anybody know that "joule" is the metric unit of energy? Earlier in my life, I use calorie, which converts to approximately 4.184 joules. I have learned on the internet that outside of the United States, joule is the medium measurement of energy, not the calorie. For instance, 200 calories converts to 836.8 joules, or by rounding it to the nearest ones: 837 joules.
    That is a good lesson about teaching people how to be very precise with eating food that has contains joules of energy.

    2:50 is misleading. The labels DO account for accessibility of calories. They just don't account for NET calories. If a human can only get 10% of the calories available in a food, the label will give that number. It will not give a number that deducts the cost of digestion from the overall calorie input.
