It actually does not matter what foods you eat when creating a calorific deficit. In my final year of university I lost about 20lbs in three months despite eating non-stop junk food just because I had a calorific deficit. You can live on fried chicken and whiskey and you'll still lose weight if you have a deficit. And eggs are not "high calorie food". Even eating seven whole eggs a day will only give you around 560 calories, which is not a deal breaker.
The argument isn't anywhere near this simple, anyway. You can lose weight indiscriminately simply by creating a deficit, but the real challenge of weight loss is losing bodyfat while maintaining lean muscle mass. That's more complex - it's not just what you eat but how regularly you eat, the size of the meals and the proportional nutritional composition of each meal. |
are you shitting me?
how does it not matter if fats are 9 kcal?
so you eat 500 g of carbs or you eat 500 g of fats.. which one is going to create more of a surplus?
500 * 4 = 2000 kcal (carbs)
500* 9 = 4500 kcal (fats)
4500 > 2000
thus consuming foods with high fat content will lead to a higher caloric surplus
simple equation here
so you cant say that eating less high fat foods is not going to help with weightloss.
