Will you put on less weight eating 100 Cal's of oats than 100 Cal's of sugar ?

Question

Calorific value is got by burning the food sample. But some foods have cellulosic material that will burn, but cannot be absorbed by the body. Are carofic values published in dieatary books, adjusted for the non digestible calories ?

Answer 1

No, the caloric value is the caloric value.
You are most likely going to feel fuller with the oats since it contains more fiber.
But both have the same amount of calories so you will put the same amount of weight on.
Don't let people lead you the wrong way. A calorie is a calorie, no matter how you slice it.
Good luck.

Answer 2

You know, i was wondering the same thing, except im trying to GAIN weight...so I tested it out! So here's an answer coming from someone who actually knows from experience! So basically the 100 calories will cause weight gain no matter what the food is. BUT there will be a difference in WHERE you gain the weight!!! The 100 calories from the oats will be a healther weight because of the protein, therefore the weight won't just show up on your stomach, it will be distributed a little more evenly. But the weight from the sugar will be unhealthy weight, which will show up in the stomach, or in other undesirable places.

Answer 3

calories are calories.....oats will make you feel fuller ...there are some foods that have negative calories....like celery....it causes your body to burn more calories to digest it....than it the actual caloric intake of the food.....but the difference is not great....and even though some tout it as a great weight loss tool..it is not

Answer 4

its like the question "which is heavier, 10 kg of bricks or 10kg of feathers" they are both the same

1 cal of fruit will put on the same weight as 1 cal of pure sugar...etc.
