Wait a minute. Hold the phone.
Just trying to catch up with 800+ posts and caught this one...no other
judgments being made, whoever might have told you that is either trying to
pull a fast one, or doesn't have much of a nutrition background. There's no
substance on earth wherein 1 ounce of anything will supply the same energy
as an entire pound of corn. Same amount of protein, or starch or
summat...maybe. Same energy/calories---nope. No chance.
And for anyone doubting the numbers, a pound of corn supplies 1.75 Mcals in
digestible energy. For an alternative supplement to provide 1.75 Mcal *per
ounce*, it would have to provide over 28 Mcals per pound. Even pure fat
(the most concentrated energy source available) only provides about 4.3
Mcals per pound. Not even close.
Just wanted to throw in that correction, though I'm not sure which product
or energy source this particular claim was in reference to. :-) Not that it
matters.
