I am writing a research paper on using a glucometer in the arm for bariatric patients to track their nutrition, i.e. they can't cheat on their diet pre-, intra- and postoperatively, and must record all values and integrals in the day.

Which method of burning calories appeals the most to you? The least? How much of each food would you have to consume in order to gain a single pound? How does 1 pound's worth of food compare with 1 pounds worth of exercise? Does it seem like an even trade off?
