Yes, covalent bonds are chemical bonds, not all chemical bonds are covalent, there is the unique distinction.

So I get it, you don't know the specifics on how our bodies access that energy, thankfully I do.

Our bodies must access to these associated chemicals from our dietary intake.

Proteins are a peptide chemical bond, aka p-bonds.

Carbohydrates are linked by covalent bonds, aka glycosidic bonds.

Fats essentially are attached to oxygen by covalent bonds.

This is how our body uses dietary intake of Proteins, Carbs & Fats to form energy.

Fats aren't attached to oxygen (looks like maybe what makes a fat a fat is the functional group that is bonded to a carbonyl).

Anyway, so it is your perspective that we use mass that we condone throughout the day to provide energy to our bodies? We convert some of that mass into energy, correct?

If so, let me ask some other questions (maybe a series, in subsequent posts)

Do you believe that the number of atoms from each element that enters your body has to equal the number of atoms of each element that leaves your body (or accumulates, which is weight gain)?

Right, I was simplifying things a bit for you. In a fat molecule, a fatty acid is attached to each of the 3 oxygen molecules with a covalent bond thus creating the fat molecule that is used for energy.

To answer your question of, does what go in must come out?

Or as you put it, the number of atoms from each element that enters your body has to equal the number of atoms of each element that leaves your body?

Sure, but it does not accumulate or add to weight gain. Some intake of what is consumed is used for function, such as creating the cells, good and bad that your body creates. Remember those amino acids, both macro and micro (aka essential) they are used by the body for a variety of functions, and this is the 33% I spoke of earlier, which have nothing to do with weight gain.

Look bucs, you're just wrong my brother, I'm not going to answer a series of questions just because you can't concede to reality.

Look it up for yourself.

Food is often called fuel for the body, and 67% is used for energy, composition (muscle), storage (fat) or waste. Those other things you're not discussing, the 33%, the body will use it in a variety of ways with no contribution to body composition (muscle) or storage (fat) or as you call it weight.

Plain and simple.

Gotcha. I'm not wrong. But this is going nowhere.

You posted (agreed) that each atom in = atom out. Which means that you're not consuming mass to create energy. Unless you don't believe mass is accounted for based on how many atoms there are.

Your thought process leads you entirely in the wrong direction. When you say .... Which means..... you go off in left field, it does not mean that at all, whatever you consume a 1/3 of that will be used by the body's function, and of the remaining 2/3's a portion of that will be converted to energy and neither have anything to do with what I believe regarding mass accounting to the number of atoms.

Actually, nothing is based on what I believe, or what you believe, it is simply the laws of physics.

You can argue with physics all you want, you should try arguing with gravity sometime and jump out of a plane ....

You are right on tract SR...

'Calories' (aka 'Energy' to the body) are quantified by caloric intake type per gram as follows:

- Carbohydrates provide 4 calories per gram.
- Protein provides 4 calories per gram.
- Fat provides 9 calories per gram

Since fat provides the most energy per gram, the body stores any excess as fat.

Basically, if you want to monitor the amount of fat you store, the rule of thumb for a daily 2K calorie intake, amounts over ~80 grams of total fat will store and/or ~25 grams of unsaturated fats will store.

With that in mind, those amounts under those targets will be used as energy.

This is why I drink so much alcohol. They are empty calories, which means I can drink all I want and never gain weight.

Not sure if you have ever met bojack, but he explained that the reason you would fall from a plane is because you weigh more than air. It has nothing to do with gravity.
