  4. Counting calories doesn’t always add up to equal weight loss

    BOSTON — When it comes to losing weight, it turns out the simple math of counting calories doesn’t always add up. Fad diets come and go, but the underlying message almost always follows a simple equation. If you consume fewer calories …

  6. Hunger (in the Plural)

    We act as if there were only one kind of hunger - there are actually three, and the dietary guidelines mostly talk about number four.

    If you think that can't work... I think so too.

  11. Subject: They Call Me *Mister* Salad.

    On Saturday, May 30, 2026, I prepared an ridiculously large meal to see how much I could fit into a limit of 2,000 calories. If I've figured it correctly, the meal clocked in at 9 pounds and 1,975 calories total.

    The meal was intended to cover the entire day. It did take me most of the day to eat. Note: I ended up skipping the apple shown in the photo. It's excluded from the numbers.

    The main course is what I'd refer to as a Mighty Salad [no connection to the Food52 book]. It weighs 6 pounds by itself. The meat and fruit courses add 3 pounds total. The beverage is sparkling water that we'll exclude from the numbers.

    We start with a 12 oz packaged garden salad. To that, we add 1 lb baby carrots, 0.75 lb grape tomatoes, 12 little potatoes, 3 oz tuna, and 3 chopped green onions. We pour 32 oz of beef broth onto that, stir to mix the salad, close the container, and shake it for a while.

    Result: A salad that says, "They call me *Mister* Salad". However, it was a mistake to use a full pound of carrots. For future salads, I'll replace at least 1/2 to 3/4 of the carrots with other ingredients.

    The meat course is a 0.5 lb [counting bone] turkey drumstick plus 0.5 lb of sliced ham. The fruit course is 4 apricots, 4 plums, a nectarine, 6 oz of blackberries, and 6 oz of raspberries. [We're skipping the apple, which will be eaten on another day.]

    Estimated calories: 1,975. Calorie needs vary, but the 1,975 figure is below the 2,000 limit that applies to a large number of adult men.

    Estimated cost: $20 USD. Note: The est. cost is only slightly more than the cost of a typical adult meal at most fast food chains or actual restaurants.

    This meal offers enough protein, carbs, fiber, and potassium for my medical profile. Other nutrients may need adjustments.

    This is encouraging. If I'm able to take 300 to 400 calories off of similar meals while maintaining nutrition, I'll have a diet that's enjoyable, that reduces weight, and that leaves one as satiated as possible.

    To be clear, 9 pounds for this iteration was higher than I intended.

    If I understand correctly, most vitamin supplements don't work well, though they work to a limited extent. You're supposed to get most of the vitamins that you need from a balanced diet. So, I'll take the supplements, but in moderation and primarily to fill in some of the gaps.

  19. Let's get down to (Buttered) Brass Tacks:
    Caloric Balance: Cause or Effect?

    The article that I have linked and sent most, so far. And it's only 1½ months old:

    Calories-in-calories-out is the usual way that weight-gain and weight-loss are described, and the usual way that works until it doesn't.
    Exchange cause&effect to learn the underlying biological principle and what really works. No more counting calories - they become irrelevant.

  21. Eating for Size 🆚 Eating for Performance

    Eating for size focuses on scale weight; eating for performance focuses on training quality.

    Size-based eating asks, “Am I gaining weight?” Performance-based eating asks, “Am I lifting better, recovering faster, and keeping my energy high?”

    🥗 Eating for size can become calorie chasing.

    🥗 Performance eating supports better workouts.

    🥗 Eating for size can increase fat gain if unchecked.
