true but you'll struggle getting tons of calories out of whole foods. This is why mass gainers are popular, underweight people find it hard to gain weight so they dirty bulking using fast food which is often calorie dense.

Eating healthy food alone isn't solution, you need to make your life active as well.

Some don't get at all what calories are.

In some video a woman was eating 8-10 Oranges a day just as a snack on the side.

No knowledge about sugar or calroies, just the thought "but its a fruit its health". No fruits are not healthy

[Illotus]

8 to 10 oranges per day being healthy or not is largely dependent what else you eat. Biggest issue there is likely teeth decay due to acidity.

[chiply314]

No its not. 8-10 Oranges is too much sugar. Too much sugar hurts your insulin reaction and can bring diabetes.

[unparagoned]

No with the fiber that’s perfectly fine. The slow release of sugar is perfectly fine. Obesity is the main risk for insulin, fast release sugar is bad for insulin via obesity not on its own.

[Illotus]

Not really, healthy person can easily handle that amount of sugar. Has plenty of fiber to balance.

[chiply314]

I rechecked it and you are right.

Its an issue if you drink orange juice not when you eat it. Eating takes longer and is getting balanced from the fiber.

[7bit]

Your first sent once and your last sentence don't align.

Yes. Fruits are healthy. One orange is healthy. 10 oranges are unhealthy. Same concept applies to water. Drinking too much can be unhealthy as well, but that doesn't change the fact that water is good.

[watwut]

> 10 oranges are unhealthy

You made that up tho.

[7bit]

I know Math is hard for you, so let me explain it:

10 oranges have a total of roughly 700 calories and 120 grams of sugar while only having 30 grams of fiber. It's mainly sugar. Eating 10 oranges per day crowds out protein, fat and other nutrients.

It's not a made up claim. You are a made up claim, troll.

[mathgeek]

> Eating 10 oranges per day

I know it ends up as pedantry, but specifying the period with every post/restatement is so critical in these threads. 10 oranges a day is unhealthy, but so is 10 oranges a year to someone trying to make a counter point.

Not my responsibility to make sure people with read deficiencies are able to follow a discussion.

[theturtletalks]

The glycemic index also comes into play. It essentially measures how much certain foods keeps you full regardless of calories. So healthy food, even if you’re consuming the same calories as junk food, is going to keep you full longer.

[imajoo]

Sorry but isn’t GI about how “sugary” a food is…? I don’t believe it doesn’t measure to do how full you feel.

[s1artibartfast]

Not directly but they can be related. GI is about how quickly the carbs in food are metabolized and how quickly sugar is released into the blood.

Blood sugars spikes then drops can have different impacts on food appetite.

[butlike]

I don't think you'll struggle to get tons of calories out of whole foods, but you'll be satiated faster eating whole foods, which will in all practicality, mean you ate less.

[s1artibartfast]

This has never been my problem. I can easily eat 5k calories of whole foods

[unparagoned]

Healthy and whole foods are a different thing. A healthy diet would have so much fiber that 5k Fritos be near impossible

[faangguyindia]

What do you eat in those 5000kcal calories? Genuinely curious.

[amanaplanacanal]

I don't think I could do it, but 3.5 cups of peanut butter would get you there. Or four 16 ounce ribeyes.

[s1artibartfast]

It doesnt have to be one sitting. Eat 2500 diet and add a cup of roast nuts twice a day and you are basically there.

Moreover, you dont need to eat anywhere close to 5k to be morbidly obese.

1 cup of roast nuts over TDEE will gain you 100lbs in a couple short years

[faangguyindia]

Assuming you maintain same activity level, the increase in weight wouldn't be that simple.

TDEE rises as body weight rises (heavier body burns more)

Overfeeding increases NEAT in some people (more fidgeting, movement)

[s1artibartfast]

I cup over TDEE will always be more as it raises

[s1artibartfast]

as an aexample, I once ate a 5lb tritip over an afternoon, and that isnt counting breakfast or sides

[giardini]

Get checked for parasites, seriously! It will save you $$
