I can agree with healthy fats being good for you. But explain to me bad calories affecting weight gain more than "good" calories. That doesn't make sense to me at all.

3500 calories = 1 pound of fat, no matter the source.

You can lose weight eating only McDonald's if you counted calories, but you would be:

1. Hungry all the time. 2. Look terrible.

Agree that 3500 calories = 1 pound of fat, but the point I'm raising is about how those calories affect elements such as muscle growth, which will aid weight loss. Read http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1648841
