Which is more responsible for body weight gain?!


Question:

Which is more responsible for body weight gain?

high calorie or high fat?


Answers:

Well, both really. Fat, gram for gram, contains more than twice the caloric content as carbs or protein. However, getting too much of just about anything will cause weight gain. Fats play a vital role in healthy bodily functioning, especially for athletes, and should not be removed from the diet.

Bodyweight gain is a pretty simple concept - taking on more calories than are expended time over a period of time. Sporadic caloric intake and binge eating are big culprits, as well as the quality of nutrients taken (a steady diet of fast food). For most people, taking more calories than are expended through the RMR consistently will cause bodyfat gain over a period of time.
