Is genetic metabolic rate a factor in how one's body burns calories - just one of the questions asked in this interesting article about calories and the protein/carb debate

Before finally getting into a discussion of the different dietary approaches out there, I want to address one of the bigger points of contention in the dieting literature: is a calorie a calorie? Simply put, the debate comes down to this: all that matters is caloric balance (calories in versus calories out) or do the source of those calories matter?

The myth around calories!

Most commonly, when folks want to argue that 'a calorie is not a calorie', they will use studies comparing higher and lower protein intakes. With very few exceptions, dietes providing adequate protein intake (for dieters 1.5 g/kg lean body mass or higher would be a minimum) to lower intakes find better results than diets with lower protein intakes.
