Explain why, calorie for calorie, carbohydrate-rich foods contribute less to body fatness than do fat-rich foods
Gram for gram, carbohydrates donate fewer calories than do dietary fats, and converting glucose into fat for storage is metabolically costly. Still, it is possible to consume enough calories of carbohydrate to exceed the need for energy, which reliably leads to weight gain. To lose weight, the dieter must plan to consume fewer total calories from all foods each day.
