    One thing to remember is that not all calories are created equally. The amount of nutrients in junk food pales in comparison to that in a kale salad or piece of lean meat.

    Losing weight and being and feeling healthy overall aren't the same thing. If your goal is to lose weight AND be healthy, then choosing healthful nutrient-dense foods like lean meats, fruits and veggies, nuts and seeds, high-quality dairy products (if you tolerate them well), and whole grains are your best bet. If foods don't serve any purpose except for emotional gain, then it might be wise to determine what else in life is making you seek those foods out.

    Food should absolutely be enjoyable, but ultimately food is just fuel.

    The amount of nutrients in a piece of fatty meat (or offal) is superior to a piece of lean meat - but it's all about personal choice.

    As long as your getting the nutrients from somewhere that's what counts.:smile:
