chia and other resistant starch .. can make me feel full for a while. Some lose the satiety effect soon 🙁 Some actually make me gain weight. So the calorie theory is inconssitent, confusing,,,

nuts .. very high cal density … too high to believe

juices, protein power, meal replacement power, or whole milk is supposed to provide lots of calories, but I don’t feel full at all.

• #1 limitation — measurability=#1 limitation@calorie theory
• #2 Challenge: fiber and resistant starch. RS’s real calories might be only half as labeled… resistant starch=subtype@fiber: half the calorie density
• Challenge: whole nuts may pass out not fully consumed.. peanuts: calorie-dense, Extremely
• Challenge: carrot and chia seeds are relatively calorie-dense (carbs) but I don’t feel they are 20% as heavy as the traditional starchy foods (like rice/cakes). These foods are proven effective for slimming, even if consumed daily in high quantity.
• Challenge: nonfat milk has higher calorie density than many substitutes, but I believe it is a slimming food. See https://www.webmd.com/diet/obesity/features/foods-to-help-you-lose-weight#1
• https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/8-weight-loss-tips-to-ignore#section8 liss a few challenges to the theory

Beside these challenges, the fundamental theory of calorie balance is remarkably stable and well-accepted

• One tablespoon of salad dressing or mayo … does it make a big difference? Calorie theory would say it’s 94 calories, equivalent to lots of vegies and fruits. I choose to accept this number.
