Small-Scale Question Sunday for March 17, 2024

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

One bonus to fat is that it's a much better fuel for low-intensity aerobic exercise, which is great for both general metabolic health and sustainable weight loss. At walking or very light cycling intensity, the majority of energy comes from fat oxidation, allowing something like coffee with a dollop of butter and/or cream to provide sufficient fuel for a long walk in the morning. Personally, if I were trying to drop weight, I would figure out what was enough protein to minimize catabolic activity and fill the rest of my calories with mostly fats.
