Reply to comment by madskilzz3 in LPT What is the greatest cause of weight gain? Excess sugar or salt? by SuccessfulManifests

Not true. You can eat thousands of calories per day from fruits and olive oil and you won't get fat

Michael Phelps- consume 10k calories per day, but he burned it off due to his training. But for the average person who has a 9-5 low intensity job, eating like Phelps will most likely lead to a caloric surplus, which will turn to weight gains.

At the end of the day, calories in calories out. No way around that.

Caloric deficit: lose weight

Caloric maintenance: maintain weight

Caloric surplus: gain weight

Agreed. You cannot get fat from eating dietary fat which is very high in calories.
