>>76401716 (OP)Calorie Check and Obesity Explained
The claim that half a kilo of chicken and half a kilo of potatoes is 1000 calories is off. Here’s the math:
• Chicken (boneless, skinless breast, cooked): ~165 cal/100g. For 500g, that’s ~825 cal.
• Potatoes (boiled, no skin): ~87 cal/100g. For 500g, that’s ~435 cal.
• Total: 825 + 435 = 1260 cal, not 1000.
This assumes no added oils, butter, or sauces. Frying or toppings can spike the count.
On “how are fat people real?”: Obesity happens when you eat more calories than you burn over time. A 1260-cal meal could fit a diet, but here’s why weight piles on:
• Overeating: High-calorie junk like burgers or soda can hit 1000+ cal in one go.
• Sedentary life: Low activity means fewer calories burned.
• Food choices: Processed snacks and sweets add up fast.
• Genetics/hormones: Some store fat easier.
• Habits: Stress-eating or snacking racks up calories.
• Environment: Easy access to calorie-dense food doesn’t help.
A fast-food meal or extra snacks can easily outstrip what you burn. Even “healthy” foods like chicken and potatoes can tip the scale if you overdo it or slather on extras. Obesity’s just math—calories in > calories out—mixed with biology
