Metabolism and food 1 day vs many

[Minusorange]

If you eat a tin of Pringles in a day is it the same calorie intake and production of fat on your body as if you eat that tin over many days ?

Or does it yield a different result, I want to think logically that it makes no difference whether you eat a tin in a day or over several days, it's the same amount just space out evenly but maybe the metabolism treats it differently ?

 

[Vandle]

Its much less if you eat them all at once, preferably in a single mouthful as the calories used in energy to chew them massively outweigh the calories consumed. Science.

 

[Efour]

If you light the tin and breath in the high calorie smoke, like some kind of "bong" then Budda will grant you the knowledge you seek.

 

[BUDFORCE]

First I got no idea, I'm guessing.

Bit I reckon, if you only ate the 1 tin of pringles and nothing else.

If you ate it quickly, in one day or less, say an hour, it would fire up your metabolism, and you get hot and burn some more of those calories.

If you ate the 1 can, over say 4 days, you'd store more of the fat.

But then I think if you repeated this, as you hadn't eaten anything for 3 days eating it in a short space of time your body would want to store more as you would be very hungry.

So it makes no difference?

I got no idea basically.

Surely the intense self loathing over many days burns more calories than one day crying in the corner next to an empty Pringles tin

 

[danlightbulb]

Pringles are calorie free, just like cake.

 

[Uther]

Just eat an apple instead and sit back with the smug self satisfaction of knowing you are better than most people.

If you ate your normal diet and the Pringles were an extra treat on top of your normal diet, then I don't think it would matter whether you had a full tin of Pringles on a single day each week, or spread the consumption over 7 days each week, for example.

Essentially, the additional energy still has to be metabolised, you either burn it or you store it - if the energy from the Pringles is creating a constant energy excess, then your liver will just be converting the excess into fat and storing it (glycogen, or fatty acids elsewhere in the body)

When eating a chocolate bar, hold it vertically and don't eat the last part. The magic of mavity means all the calories will have fallen to the bottom.

 

[UTmaniac]

I presume it will come down to whether a tin of Pringles consumed quicker has the potential to get through the intestine quicker than your body can extract all the calorific nutrients, whether you're eating nothing else, or a more balanced diet with Pringles in addition.

Why would it be any different, you're still taking in the same number of calories.

Because you might not process it all from one sitting vs the same amount spread over a number of days, the same way not all water stays in your system that you drink

 

[NotAGolf]

I always devour junk food in a single day, even if it makes me feel sick. This way I'm only a fat **** for a day. If I spread it over 4 days, then I'm a fat **** for 4 days. You can't argue with logic.

 

[Puzzled]

If you eat the cardboard tube as you work your way down its acts as a great stomach filler, you'll be so full you won't even want to start on tubes 2 and 3.

Just to add to what I said

Does Poop Have Calories? (And if so, how many?)

Did you know that measuring calories in poop by collecting stool samples is one of the standard methods for assessing the health of the microbiota and

millennialhawk.com

Measuring poop calories is one of the standard methods in assessing the health of the microbiota and nutrient absorption. In this article I will explain the mechanism behind it and help you understand does poop have calories?


In general, poop does have calories because not all macronutrients are being absorbed in the digestion process. The number of calories in poop averages 4.91 kcal per gram of stool. Several factors lead to fecal energy losses including fiber, fat, and duration of eating.

So if not everything is absorbed during digestion, it would be sensible to assume that the body can only process X amount of nutrition over X amount of time so if you load up with extra calories not all of it will be processed but is it enough to make a difference if you overload those cals in one sitting vs a few days, you may actually absorb more over x days because your digestion isn't overloaded vs one sitting

 

[Efour]

The group of 13 healthy adults consumed 5 g of poop in three different chewing duration:

• 10 chews
• 25 chews
• 40 chews

 

[Minusorange]

@Efour not exactly the same as I don't imagine they chewed the almonds 40 times over many days and it's also related to how chewed the food was, not neccesarily correlating to time spent digesting, but we could deduce that at 10 chews the poop has more calories because it was harder to digest, so would this mean quicker consumption = fewer calorie intake vs slower consumption ? maybe ? simply because there's more mass to digest in a shorter space of time

Eating all at once will put on more fat, as the body can only have so much glucose in the blood. Insulin is produced to turn that excess glucose into fat. If you eat large amounts, or small amounts regulary then you will have higher insulin levels causing more fat to be stored. If you spread the pringles out over days, and you leave gaps in your eating causing your blood glucose to drop, then the body produces glucagon, which converts fats into glucose. so you could eat the pringles and loose weight. its all about how you eat, and when you eat more than calories in... to a point. If you're pre diabetic, or diabetic then your body has a hard time regulating insulin, causing you to gain weight easier.

Basically what you are saying is that by restricting my drinking to evenings only my body is storing more of the fat, where as if I spread my drinking out during the entire day I'll loose weight?

I'll buy that for a dollar.

I think i have a solution to your problem.
Capsaicin, the oil in chillies can lower insulin levels and increase glucagon. If you have a donner kebab with your evening drinking sessions, smothering it with chilli sauce, not forgetting the pickled chillies. This is counter act the booze, and a evening drinking is alway better with a kebab.
