I agree. I think it's pretty much the opposite. It's all still calories in/out as far as controlling weight. But how you get and control those calories is a total shitshow these days.

Imo this isn't really true. I've met a lot of people who think switching from hot pockets to lean pockets means they're eating healthy. Or eating circle K cereal for breakfast and dinner is healthy. Dumb shite like that. There's a ton of people who honestly don't know. Just ignorance and lack of food education.

See I find people know they should stick to fruits veggies and mostly leaner or higher quality meats. Just most people don't. I find alot it has to do with cost. Your example being a perfect one.

Also you are younger so you are going to be around a different group then me since I am in my mid 30s.

What i see is people that give into peer pressure and go out to lunch. People that justify eating things like you mentioned due to cost. People that justify bad meals with its just one time kind of thing.


What I see more than anything though and totally goes against what I said is that people lose the ability to naturally eat well if they go to a restaurant. Because they do not have a true understanding of nutrition or serving sizes they fail to realize that the grilled chicken salad has 3 servings of crouton and 4 servings of dressing on it. In other words they fail to see the hidden calories.

But if you take most people to the supermarket and tell them to go get food for a really healthy meal, they will grab fruit, veggies and a lean meat. Nothing wrong with that. Its everything else that fricks them.
