How come weight is affected by calories, and not the weight of the food? If I eat a bag of candy, I will gain weight, but if I eat 4 apples, I won’t gain as much?
In: Biology
A bag of candy is refined and processed sugar that has an energy density ratio that is off the charts. Sugar in general is very easily digested, often before it reaches even the stomach.
An apple on the other hand is mostly indigestible fiber. The bulk and majority will pass through your system and be expelled.
