Why counting calories is useless for bodybuilders?
Simply because the human body reacts differently to
different foods. It uses protein to build muscles, carbs to provide energy and
fat is more likely to be stored as fat. Here we see there are foods that make
you fat more than others. How?
-
Well, just add 100Kcal
worth of whey to your diet every day, thank me later.
-
Or add 100Kcal worth of
chips and you probably gonna need a doctor.
Kevin Levron, a world champion never counted his calories
intake! So? If you are a bodybuilder it’s way better to count food by weight
and not Kcals.
And as always, I never write a word without a link to an actually study (Keep everything 100% true). The following study shows that adding 20kcal/kg of candies resulted in increase of body weight, while adding the same amount of peanuts didn't increase body weight.
