What I mean to say was that if you eat 3000 calories you don't store 3200. I mean you don't create calories in the body. Therefore irrespective of macronutrients eating a set amount of calories you don't store any more than that amount. Through various mechanisms you may end up storing less.

High >sugar Candy vs deep color veges --same amount of calories . Sure. Now we look at overeating. Some foods are going to be easier to overeat than others. I would add for far more reasons than just the Glycaemic Index. More than just physiology and biochemistry as well. Here you also have to add cognitive and behavioural factors. You may eat that candy bar and want another 10 mins later becase of the GI but it could also by the fact of the marketing or the convience of unwrapping a bar compared having to select good fruit and preparing it. Funny though how people would rather snack on a snickers that costs twice as much as a banana and both are just as convienent to prepare.
