according to tacobell.com and mydailyplate.com, taco bell's grilled steak soft taco (fresco style) is only 160 cals.

is that accurate? seems too low for sweet steak goodness.

That may be so, but they're probably empty calories.

what veggies do you put in your ramen? i usually stick to onions and beansprouts.

A small flour tortilla must be around 50 kcal
100 grams of chicken? probably around 100 kcal
Tomato and lettuce, probably around 50 kcal also.

Yes, very likely to be around 160 kcal.

true. calorie = calorie = energy.

but empty as in no real nutrition. "empty calorie" doesn't really make sense, but since you get calories whenever you eat food, and food varies in nutrition, people tend to combine the two and say you're getting "nutritious calories" or "empty calories". just a relationship thing.

taco more empty than ramen? nah.

Well, the term might be well used in shit that you can't use the energy, like alcohol calories. Some people also use the term for lettuce, because it takes more energy to digest it than the energy it gives.

Besides, what's wrong with that taco?
Chicken breast, fine.
Veggies, fine.
Flour tortilla, maize would be better, but don't buy the shit about the High Glicemic index.

It even goes well with a common diet.

Empty calories only mean calories associated with foods that are either not very nutritious (colas, etc) or not very satisfying for their respective number of calories.

Empty calories are usually associated with things like pop, where that is all you're getting, instead of something like a steak, where you're getting protein and minerals with those calories

Negative calories are not a myth. Only problem is that they aren't nearly as useful as people think.

Negative calorie drinks:
Ice Water
Ice Cold Diet Soda

Your body will heat up from the cold water and thus burn calories. However, these drinks have no caloric content and thus can be considered negative calories.

If you think this is stupid, well, that's because it is. Pretty much anything else you can eat/drink will not be negative.

You think there's no difference between home made burgers and fast food?

You're an idiot.

Fast food burgers are fried, fat burgers, served on HFCS enriched bread, and you'd be tempted to get some fries and a coke.

At home I can make a lean beef patty on my George Foreman grill, put it on a whole wheat bun with some iced strawberry juice with carbonated water.

Boom, normal meal compared to an entire days worth of calories.

Plus there's better nutrients.

Too bad all that cooking has made you an IDIOT.

>yea a cheeseburger is good too, if its home-made, not one from a fastfood place like bk.

is good too, [notice the comma and space that denotes separation of clauses] IF [and the participle that separates the ideas], not [note the use of 'not' for negation] one from a fastfood place like bk.

Allow me to rephrase this simple sentence structure into something more eloquent for your high-brow tastes. No pun intended, of course.

Cheeseburgers available at fast food restaurants are not as nutritious as homemade cheeseburgers. The implication is that they are prepared differently and with different ingredients. This same principle can be applied to the Tacos served at fast food restaurants vs. tacos that are homemade with individually selected ingredients.
