>Fiber. You eat 160 calories in almonds, but you absorb only 130. The fiber in the almonds delays absorption of calories into the bloodstream, delivering those calories to the bacteria in your intestine, which chew them up. Because a calorie is not a calorie.

Is this true? I know none of you actually know but it somehow gives me comfort when you tell me one way or the other. I'm a sheep.

I dunno but Zyzz used to say this exact thing.

Theoretically speaking, the food you eat could not be digested and simply expelled in poop. Like when you look in the toilet and see corn kernels that weren't digested.

Calories are supposed to be used as a marker for estimation. If you get visibly fat simply eat less

Insoluble fiber cannot be used by the body. Regular fiber can, fiber is hard for the body to break down. Requiring (sometimes) more calories to break down said fiber than what is gained from break down.
Ps bacteria have different metabolic pathways than humans. Way more simplified pathways. I'm not sure if guy bacteria is respirates anaerobically, but if so, these bacteria may not be reducing glucose...
