You are confusing the social aspect of food eating out, dining in a social setting, eating for enjoyment, etc, with the nutritional side of food, which is food for energy. Again, the two are not mutually exclusive.
There is much more to it than "food for energy."
Try not eating for a month and see how you feel ...
then come back and tell if food is energy or not...0 -

If preferences matter, then people can have preferences to not eat certain foods.
And yeah, the insults are getting old, as is the "my way is the only right way" attitude.
Yeah, that makes it better.

define "good, whole, healthy" food, because I have no idea what that is.
Please remember that not everyone holds the same opinions/beliefs as you do towards food.
its not an opinion ..food = energy ..nothing else..that is a fact...
Like most of your "facts", that is incorrect. Food contains many things, including water, vitamins and minerals. It's not just energy/calories via macronutrients.
For all the time you spend insulting, mocking, name-calling and laughing at others, you are almost always wrong. The insults do not now, nor did they ever, nor will they ever mean that you are right.
Regardless of what food is made up of . . . our bodies use all of it for fuel to get our energy. We don't get energy from any other sources . . if you stop eating, you get tired and sluggish and fatigued. Just like when your car runs out of gas it stops going right? Same concept.
It doesn't matter what is in the food we eat at all - well it does for nutritional purposes, which is your water, vitamins, minerals, etc argument but in terms of our bodies using it, we use pretty much all of it for fuel. What matters is that we use it to keep going, or in other terms, we use it to fuel ourselves.0 -

hey, if you want to keep torturing yourself and thinking of certain foods as "bad" and restricting them to the point of misery, knock yourself out...
still does not change the fact that food = energy...0 -

Food doesn't contain energy, it gives us energy. It's not like energy content is right there between calories and grams of fat on a label . . . we use it for energy by digesting and metabolizing it. It does contain nutritional value but regardless of nutritional value we use it to fuel ourselves, or get energy. You can't stop eating and expect you will be able to keep going, exercising, living your daily life right? You need something to be able to keep moving and that something is food, in whatever form or shape you prefer it to be.
Our bodies do get a lot from food, yes, but our bodies use it to keep going. That's how our wonderful bodies work.0 -

There is much more to it than "food for energy."
Hmmm...
Sounds a bit like context to me.0 -

In "terms of our body using it", those vitamins, minerals (no etc.) are important. Those micros are as important as the much-touted macros.
For weight loss, it doesn't matter. You can eat absolutely nothing and lose weight.0 -

drink only water for a year and eat nothing for a year and see if you live ....
what do you think that your body uses macros and micros for? It breaks them down for ENERGY to use in bodily functions like building muscle, breathing, digesting, brain function ....
is that really so hard to understand...0 -

So the award for hair splitting goes to you
And you're way over analyzing. I don't remember really anyone talking about nutrient levels except you. The only thing mentioned was that food is energy for us. What that food does in our bodies, completely different pages of the same story, but the high level part of it is that it's energy. And that's where this needed to stop. Never once did I say micros, macros, blah blah blah. There's many aspects to what foods are comprised of and how they metabolize and what the individual molecules look like for carbs vs fat vs protein but at the end of the day, regardless of what your food is made up of you need it to survive - and that makes it energy. It can contain many other things our body uses or maybe doesn't use or whatever it is you just said previously but that wasn't what I said before or what ndj1979 said either. The only statement was that food is energy for us, and really it is. You can say it contains x, y and z but whatever it contains, our body functions and processes convert it into usable energy for us.
I'm not sure if this makes you feel smarter or better to split hairs like that, but there's no need for it when the context of the conversation wasn't about that.0 -
Ok I haven't read the replies, so bear with me...
Some of your entries are questionable... '2 cups of broccoli 116 calories'. First, you're better off weighing your food for accuracy, but there's no world in which 2 cups of steamed broccoli would be that many calories.
So 1) weigh your food, 2) use accurate entries (when in doubt, search 'usda' after the food).
For food like rice, weigh it dry if you can, it's way way more accurate this way (if you make more than one batch, weigh it dry, then cooked again to see how many grams is a cooked serving).

FYI - OP was not concerned with not losing...her problem is eating "too clean" which leaves her "starving"0 -
