Counting calories
I was walking back to my apartment the other day and started wondering about the estimated "required" calories one should eat in order to maintain or lose weight. They say you should eat X amount of calories, but what I'm wondering is, do they take into account how much you don't digest? For instance (and this might gross some people out), a few weeks ago I bought shrimp from the supermarket. And I cooked it and ate it. Now apparently the shrimp was either bad, or I didn't cook it enough, and it came all back out (the other end). How does that factor into how many calories you have intaked that day? Also what about when you get the Taco Bell effect (use your imagination to figure what that is)?
Just wondering.
