Chef AJ/ calorie density question
Posted: Wed Jul 27, 2016 4:46 pm
Hi Jeff,
I am hoping you can clear something up for me:
In an October 2015 webinar Chef AJ said that Barbara Rolls discovered that if you keep calorie density at 550 calories per pound then it’s very difficult to be overweight.
She interviewed Barbara Rolls for a teleclass in February 2016 and said that she heard the "many people that teach this" (perhaps meaning you) say that if you keep the average calorie density at 600 cal per pound, not only will you not be overweight but you can get down to a lean weight. She asked Barbara Rolls if she agreed with that statement and Rolls replied that she agreed to a certain extent but that they needed more studies.
Then in a webinar a month later AJ claimed that, according to the scientific research done Barbara Rolls ,if you keep calorie density at 567 cal per pound then you "absolutely can't gain weight."
I am very familiar with Dr McD’s writings and I noticed that AJ attempted to recite his books/articles in the webinars yet she misquoted him. I am not familiar with Barbara Rolls’ books or research but it appears that AJ misquoted her as well.
Could you please clarify what the correct numbers are and where they originated from?
Thanks
