    You would be stufied because it’s impressive that your body can just grab calories out of thin air. Obese people lie about what they eat, it’s really simple. That’s why doctors don’t take these people serios.

      the thing is, people SEVERELY underestimate how many calories are in what they’re eating. Ask any fat how much calories a chocolate bar has, and they’ll say something like “50?”

        This. 200 calories is not very much food. That’s like 1 tablespoon of peanut butter, a little over 1 banana, a little less than 3 eggs, about 30 individual almonds, or little over half an avocado.

        A single Hershey’s chocolate bar, mountain dew, or the smallest size of my favorite star bucks drinks are all over 200 calories too.
