Certainly, awareness of calorie intake remains invaluable in maintaining optimal health. For instance, I adhere to a daily calorie intake of 2400, comprising 70% from healthy fats and 30% from bioavailable proteins.

This regimen not only supports the preservation of lean muscle mass but also sustains cognitive acuity, a topic I explored in detail in a previous article published a few years ago. (Link: https://medium.com/sensible-biohacking-transhumanism/eating-200g-fat-daily-for-decades-i-didnt-gain-weight-yet-thrived-37d8503935f5)

The distinction lies in the subtleties of calorie counting, where the focus transcends mere numerical precision to encompass broader considerations, notably the hormonal impact of food choices. While certain junk foods may boast low calorie content, such as low-fat chips, their nutritional profile remains devoid of essential nutrients, potentially triggering insulin spikes.

Excess sugar consumption, defined by the body's inability to metabolize glucose efficiently, can lead to the conversion of surplus glucose into fat molecules.

Yes, I agree. Excessive intake of fats and protein calories can also pose health risks; however, these macronutrients play indispensable roles in bodily functions, with proteins and healthy fats providing essential amino acids and omega-3 fatty acids, respectively.

In contrast, carbohydrates, while a primary energy source, are not classified as essential, as the body can synthesize glucose from proteins and fats through gluconeogenesis and lipolysis processes.

Thus, maintaining a balanced approach to calorie consumption entails thoughtful consideration of nutritional quality and metabolic implications.
