ELI5: If I were to eat a thousand Snickers bars, I would put on significantly more weight than if I were to eat a thousand heads of cabbage despite the huge disparity in weight of the pre-consumed food. Where does this mass come from? Submitted by marcuschookt t3_zzspww on December 31, 2022 at 12:07 PM in explainlikeimfive 16 comments 0
