I listen to a radio talk show on the weekend that is called The New You show. Anyway, I think I remember them saying it does not matter what you eat, as long as the # of calories is still the same. I am not saying if you only eat donuts that you will be healthy, but if you only eat donuts, you will only be able to eat a very few before you reach the maximum calorie intake for the day. Is there any truth in this? It sounded strange when I heard it but it did make some sense.
A person will normally eat a variety of foods throughout the day and if they are weight conscious, they will count calories. I don't eat the same thing every day but generally eat the same amount of calories in a day. That is kind of how the weight watchers program works. There are different point values for each food you eat. So if you eat a high calorie food, the point value will be much higher.
If you eat a healthier food with fewer calories, it just means that you can eat more of it and thus providing your body with more fuel for energy, etc.
