Quotes to ponder:

"Fat-gain is a disorder of the body’s energy balance system, not just a passive accumulation of excess calories."

"A calorie is a calorie; 100 excess calories from fat and carbohydrate are no more fattening than 100 excess calories from protein."

"Above all, be grateful for your healthy body. Give it the fuel it needs, and trust it will perform best when it is appropriately trained and well fueled on a daily basis."
