I've been eating clean since i've started working out, and reaching the goal caloric intake requires eating such a high volume of food. I used to eat a lot more calorie-dense junk-food.
My question is, aside from reaching macros, are all calories equal ? Does it matter whether you get carbs from apples or cake ? White bread or brown bread ? saturated/unsaturated fats ?
Thanks in advance

Fat loss is purely a game of burning more calories.
Building muscle is a much more intricate process, where the nutritional content of each calorie matters.

Simple sugars fuck your shit up. Put down the cake, fatty, and eat a fucking banana.

Eating clean is better for your health and testosterone.
Avoid processed shit. Avoid cakes, sweets, etc.
Always eat at least 400g of fruit/veg a day.
If you're male, eat a lot of broccoli+brussel sprouts.

In a vacuum all calories are equal and in a sense so are macros, so yes 5g of carbs from cake is the same as 5g of carbs in an apple, but you can't remove all the other shit in a cake when you eat from, from the preservatives to the processed garbage and micros you can't account for.

what's with broccoli and brussel sprouts specifically ?

Zinc, motherfucker.
Iron.
It's a natty test booster. Why aren't you shoving them down your throat like a pro porn star takes dicks?

Frozen spinach is good, filling and full of iron.
If you compare fresh spinach to its cooked equivalent, you'll notice just how dense cooked spinach actually is.

How's Popeyes Spinach? Not him, but I've been buying that brand, since it's accessible to me, is Frozen Spinach better than Popeyes? Or does it matter?

and then "being healthy" is an even more intricate process...

Calories in and calories out. It's all about energy balance.
My TDEE on workout days is about 4,500. Since I'm not on a cut I usually keep it to 6 small meals in order to activate my metabolism. The goal is to lose 2 lbs per week so I cut around 500 calories a day depending if I do cardio or not with my IF schedule and dose of Yohimibine. Here is a sample of my daily meals.
Meal 1-3 : Diet Cherry Pepsi and a scoop of whey.
Meal 4-6: Pint of Ben and Jerrys(not per meal)

Find some frozen spinach and compare the two. Make note of the sodium content, price, and taste.

Broccoli and brussel sprouts have a thing that inhibits thyroid function. So does Kale and cabbage.
Have any recommendations for fitting calorie-dense food that isn't so filling ?
thought of just blending a bunch of fruits into smoothies
