Likewise. As the offical White-Guy-with-a-Tapeworm (TM) here at TFP, I don't drink "regular" pop because it is loaded with sugar and hurts my teeth. Also, things that are really fat dense like most fast food concoctions make me feel like puking. Then again, the pukey thing is kinda normal for me.
I eat a lot of healthy breakfast cereal, tuna, peanut butter, frozen/canned vegetables, and pasta... drink a lot of milk, water, and bourbon (when single). I can pack away like 2,700-3000 calories a day when I'm doing physical activity beyond curling textbooks and I've been 27" around the waist since 2001.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the key to success, no-duh-
college-guy, is balance. The body processes things at different rates, right? Sugars go fast, fats take time... you need both in different amounts. Throw the balance off by too much or not enough of one and you're just as bad as eating too much in general. You might not bloat up like Oprah, but you're not fueling your body the way it should be and it'll show in your overall wellness.
Reminds me of a funny T-shirt I saw recently:
A cupcake and a multivitaman = not breakfast.
