so iv a question that'll get a few heads going!!!

9 CALORIES IN 1 GRAM OF FAT RIGHT?

1LB OF FAT IS 453.5g right.....

so doesnt !lb of fat actually equal 4081 calories not 3500 as so  many weight loss sites and experts tell us.

and therefore i deduce that we wont drop 1lb after 3500 cal deficit!

"Body fat" is in fact really "adipose tissue" with an intricate blood supply and structure, wheras oil is just.... oil.

So no not the same thing!

I love the title of your thread here, it really made me want to have a look. Geez, interesting observation, but yeah, you're kind of mixing up energy (calories) and weight (grams/fat).

Besides, 4081 is pretty damn close to 3500 in the dieting world. Everything is mostly based on estimates, although some people get absolutely obsessive about crunching the numbers.

Is piss a "curse" word? I wasn't aware...

thanks figure the fat.....thats all i was tryn to do was get a quick answer to a question that puzzled me for awhile but forgot to ask about.

feanor i reckon after seeing and mayb supportn a few of your harsh challenges on other ppl- that you are in fact a bully, who never actually contributes anything more that nasty comments.....

a bully? wow. People are so quick to label people that on this forum.
I'd hardly call her a bully.

I do in fact try to help people who ask for help, so I don't know what to tell you about being a bully.

But yeah, I do consider piss a curse word so I do think it was pretty rude to put that in the title of your thread. Opening a conversation in that way is just asking to rile people up. That's all.

oh, I'll probably regret getting involved here, but here's my 2 cents: I agree with alibuch, but feanor's responses were "fiesty" to say the least...

yeah was a bit of a pre-school name........but i think that any statement that when i read it made me squirm with shame inside is indicitave of tryn to b superior and make the other person feel bad.

she made me feel like an idiot, my question was jus a query and i thought ther was no need to put in: emphasis on the "you're making a fool of yourself, fidget84, part". .

no informative contribution, just takn the pis out me!

piss is not a curse word where fidget comes from... you gotta remember people from all over the world post on cc, not just uptight americans :)

definitely taking the piss out!! ha ha

aw this is stupid...........i didn mean to rile stuff or ppl. i wondered about the question...coz animal lard is 9cal/g and i jus wondered.

 i was hopin for a quick answer, which i got from sum ppl. i didn declare to be a genius or sum new age dietician. i was jus wondering.

im gonna go now coz i think im prob makn a bigger idiot of myself

Again, don't post unless you are answering the OP's question please.

my brother is in med school right now &he was telling me that several experts have debated whether a pound is 3,000 or 4,000. so they just decided to put it smack dab in the middle at 3,500 cause they reached a point where they just gave up.

nycgirl-- there are plenty of posts that could be deleted if you're just going to delete mine. Thanks.

Hah. So you were right in the title, then.
