I’ve Got A 10 Short Questions Concerning Foods/cals.?
1- Is it okay if I consume about 500 cals/day burning 1000 cals/day?
#2- Aren’t calories just made up, approximate numbers?
#3-If I eat starch, won’t it all turn to fat immediately if I let it digest?
#4-How much time do I have before the food I eat turns to fat?
#5-If I eat something healthy 100 calories what’s the difference then eating a 100 calorie doughnut? They’re both 100 calories, will I gain more weight eating a 100 calorie doughnut than eating a 100 calorie yogurt?
#6-Is it ok to have lets say a fruit bar a little on the high side of sugar?
#7-Is fat (the unsaturated/trans) good for you?
#8-If I eat 500 calories, go to the gym burn 1000 calories, go home eat a 500 calorie bowl of cereal will that turn to fat?
#9-Are there some foods that are more guaranteed to be stored as fat (that are good for you)?
#10-Can i have a list of foods good for eating that won’t be stored as fat? (I go to the gym on a regular basis, don’t eat un-healthy what so ever.) Sorry for so many questions! Just answer what you can that’ll be fine. Please number the answers

.1- Is it okay if I consume about 500 cals/day burning 1000 cals/day?…You should NEVER consume lower than 1200 cals/day without a doctor’s supervision. What you suggest is literally starvation.
#2- Aren’t calories just made up, approximate numbers?…Depends on where you get your information.
#3-If I eat starch, won’t it all turn to fat immediately if I let it digest?…I’ve never read up on starch in particular, but my guess is no.
#4-How much time do I have before the food I eat turns to fat?….Depends on how much you eat. What is stored as fat is the excess that your body has no use for at the time it’s processed.
#5-If I eat something healthy 100 calories what’s the difference then eating a 100 calorie doughnut?They’re both 100 calories, will I gain more weight eating a 100 calorie doughnut than eating a 100 calorie yogurt?…your body will get more useful nutrition from the healthy item than the unhealthy but just based against your total calorie intake for the day, there is no significant difference. A calorie is a calorie…but your body does not use all foods you consume in the same way.
#6-Is it ok to have lets say a fruit bar a little on the high side of sugar?…If you want. Depends on what you are trying to accomplish and what your overall health is. A diabetic, for example, wouldn’t want to do that.
#7-Is fat (the unsaturated/trans) good for you?…there are healthy fats (such as found in nuts). Shoot for mono and polyunsaturated fats (not trans fats or saturated fats).
#8-If I eat 500 calories, go to the gym burn 1000 calories, go home eat a 500 calorie bowl of cereal will that turn to fat?…Even eating 1000 cals a day you are not consuming enough calories, but it will slow your metabolism and make weight gain easier because your body is starving and burning muscle tissue for fuel. It will burn fat last because it can maintain the fat easier.
#9-Are there some foods that are more guaranteed to be stored as fat (that are good for you)?…you need to stop obsessing about fat and start eating healthy and exercising regularly. Lean protein, fruits and veggies, complex (brown) carbs, healthy fats, and lots of water.
#10-Can i have a list of foods good for eating that won’t be stored as fat?…see #9 for a list of healthy foods. You can eat lettuce and it be stored as fat if you ate too much (it would just be difficult to do so). What you consume is stored as fat when you consume more than you burn in a day…whether it’s carrorts or candy bars.
Get your calorie intake up over 1200. If you are working out daily, it should be closer to 2000 (definitely no lower than 1500) or you WILL learn what it means to slow your metabolism, make weight gain easy, and possibly have to fight your weight the rest of your life. I’m 45 and stupidly starved myself as a teen also…it’s not worth it. I now have to keep my calories low all the time, and execise twice as hard as most people, just to maintain my weight….because I wrecked my metabolism over the years trying stupid low cal diets.
