hey guys just wanted to ask something thats been on my mind for a long time.. couldn't get a real answer
firstly, are fresh fruit juices and whole fruit the same?
secondly,
let say a normal dinner ( rice + meat + vege )
x amount of calories
y amount of protein
z amount of vit
and (empty calories like potato chip/alcohol/cake/ice cream + multi vit + whey) + fruit (for fibre)
x amount of calories
y amount of protein
z amount of vit
if the 2 have same amount of nutritional value.. in terms of the numbers.. are they actually the same? (ignore fibre.. fruits will make up for the vege part)
i'm really having problems eating enough calories a day.. chocolates, ice cream, cookies, cakes are my best frens to make up for it now.. other than my main meals
thx for all the help

Ermm why would u call it as emply calories? potato chips, alcohol, ice cream, cake and etc contain all 3 macro nutrient just tat the carbs ratio would be alot higher. However, if those chips and cake are home made and u manage to control the ration of the macro nutrient inside then i would say, it is alright but most of the case....it wont be the case.
However, if u want to stuff sufficient macro nutrient, just make sure u take ur micro nutrient (mult vits, fish oil, vit E and etc) and take ur protein from meat, milk, eggs and etc, take fats as ur major calorie contributor (as in nuts, sunflower seeds and etc) and take ur carbs moderately and nvr the less some fibre from ur vege and fruits.
