Most would tend to believe that all calories are the same; that eating a 320 calorie candy bar would be the same as eating 320 calories of lettuce. I'm a bit skeptical of this belief simply because the majority of dieters attempt to eat healthier (i.e. making obvious better choices). Yet then again, I got down to my lowest by only eating produce...which is healthy...but, I know that there are Pro Anas out there that get to their lowest by consuming restricted amounts of junk food. So, are all calories the same?
I don't know.
However, what I do know is how my body reacts based on the foods I feed it, even if I restrict and purge. When I consume grains/beans/legumes/nuts/seeds, I feel disgusting afterwards (so I purge). Fruit perks me up, giving me an instant high but, gets me hungry. Vegetables make me feel full and indifferent.
I don't know...I suppose it all depends on the individual. Ask yourself when you're eating and become more consciously aware of how you react. Food V. You. Whose going to come out on top?
