it was about nutrition. it started with the fact that proteins, fats and sugars all have different energy densities and so how much weight you gain is dependent on what the food is, which is all fair. but then i made the mistake of saying "your weight won't go up by more than the weight of the food, anyway." and that spiralled out of control completely. apparently that's wrong and you can gain infinite weight from one chocolate bar.
as usual for this person they felt that i refused to take the "holistic" view into account.
a more recent conversation started with them talking about some sort of blood sugar sensor that athletes use and when i said "that's interesting, what's it called?" they started talking about gut microbes.
