So is 100 calories of broccoli different than 100 calorie candy bar?
In terms of calories, no, but in terms of biological impact on the body, yes!!! Broccoli is very low on the glycemic index, so insulin production will be must lower than if you ate a candy bar. When insulin is present, your body is in a fat storing mode and not a fat burning mode. Food impacts hormones differently, so again, in terms of calories, a calorie is a calories. However, when we focus on other components and biological impact on the body, the source of calories makes a huge difference.
