Welcome to the Andy Staples Show.

I am Andy Staples, also known as Ari Wasserman's official calorie coordinator.

He sends me photos of his food. I tell him how many calories it has. I don't know if I'm right or not, but Ari, they don't hit you with the cattle prod if you miss it by 50 or 100 calories on the old calorie counting app.

I know, but the entire point of the app is to tell you how you're doing from a week to week basis in your total calories.

So if you're estimating wrong every day, then it's not right. I disagree. The entire point of the app is so that when you pick up a bag of chips that has 290 calories, you go, you know, I'm not going to waste these 290 calories on these chips, which will just make me hungry again.

I just went to... bag of chips that has 290 calories. You go, you know, I'm not going to waste these 290 calories on these chips,

which will just make me hungry again.

I just went to the McDonald's nutrition menu, and I was like, how much McDonald's

can I eat in 2,500 calories a day?

What do we wind up on?

Does you build your perfect filet?

You can get two meals.

Like if you ate a Big Mac meal and a filial fish meal, medium with a diet Coke, you can,

you can eat both with 2,500 calories.

Who knew?

That's.

Do you think if I ate a Big Mac and a fry for lunch and a filial fish and a fry for dinner every day

that I would lose weight? Yes, especially if you were exercising. I don't think that would

be enough food, though. I think I would get hungry. You would definitely get hungry. Now,

if you ate the equivalent calories in lettuce, vegetables, lean meats and whatnot.

It would be very less satisfying.

No, it'd probably be more satisfying because you're not just hungry all the time.
