A friend and I are arguing. He says that the body metabolizes fats of certain foods and sends them to specific fat groups of the body, He says chicken makes your butt bigger. I call bullshit. HOW does this work/make sense? Help me

Fat distribution has nothing to do with the fat you are eating.
its strict genetic thing.

To add on this look in any organic biochemistry textbook for lipids metabolism.
All lipids are processed on the same way,distribution is genetic.

I have heard similar rumor about how omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids build up in different body areas. This was used to explain why there are that difficult to loose fat, for example in so called love handle area. And as far as I can tell, you are correct and this is bullshit.

In reality those stubborn fat areas have much higher count of alpha-2 receptors which makes loosing fat more difficult, at least in comparison to areas that have more beta-2 receptors.

Part of the reason we believe we're adapted to lose less weight around there is because it's closer to our center of gravity. It takes more effort to move fat that's on your arms and legs rather than fat that's around your belly.

So if your body's burning fat - while still trying to save energy - it's going to burn off fat at the extremities first before it burns the fat that's easier to carry.

It's just food/bodybuilder woo.

I think that chicken butt rumor comes from artificial estrogen in chicken and other mass produced meat. Eating too much estrogen will make your boobs grow and give you a generally more female body shape. Though it will also causes all sorts of problems in your body, including various kinds of cancer, so I don't suggest that kind of self-medication.

This is not normal for chicken meat though, it normally only contains very small amounts of estrogen, unlike soy and flax which contain naturally high amounts of "natural" estrogen.

Estrogen can be added artificially to the animal's diet so it grows more meat, that's where that rumor comes from. I think that practice is not allowed in the US and most western countries though.

Naturally grown chicken meat doesn't have estrogen in such amounts that it would make a difference in your own hormonal balance. So you can eat as much chicken as you want, you will get fat all around, not just your butt or tits.

I once heard eating semen can reduce belly fat buildup while sending it to your bust/butt.

>unlike soy and flax which contain naturally high amounts of "natural" estrogen.
Important to note here is that phytoestrogens in soy do not affect testosterone levels.
Watch out for milk though
