Re: weight gain       03/02/03 11:38 AM Edit Reply Quote Heather Reged: 12/09/02 Posts: 7799 Loc: Seattle, WA Hi - In a nutshell, if you eat more calories than you burn, you will gain weight. Fats are the most calorie-dense foods (9 calories per gram) but carbohydrates and proteins still have calories too (4 calories per gram). It doesn't really matter so much where your calories come from in terms of weight loss or gain - if you eat more than you expend through physical activity, you'll store those extra calories as body fat. Sharon is right - portion control is key. So is exercise. Best, Heather -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.
