This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

A calorie is a unit of measurement. In terms of how much energy you are consuming, which is what matters for weight gain, there is literally no difference between one calorie and another.
"Empty calories" does have a meaning and it's that something is 'just' calories with no additional nutrients. Not eating any nutrients will make you sick, but not obese.
That's not totally true. Nutrients can be more or less bioavailable depending on how they come. This includes calories. It's a good rule of thumb to assume all calories are the same, but it's not exactly accurate
Agreed, my wording might be off but what I meant is eating high calories with low nutritional value would make you unfit and obese.
Look at India, no workout and lots of Fibre in diet causing only belly fat.
The staple food of a region means a lot, Mediterranean diet is considered healthiest by those standards.
