Not enough calories but too much sugar?

eat eggs!!!!!!!!!!! 1 gram of carbs and 80 calories for an extra large egg

Eat more protein and more fat. I know it sounds counter-intuitive to eat fat when you want to lose fat, but more and more research is saying that a low-fat diet isn't necessarily better for losing weight. Avocados and olives/olive oil are great sources of beneficial calories that won't make you go over on sugar. And like so many others have said, as long as it's not from processed sugar, it's probably not terrible for you as long as your calories are okay. Just make sure your diet has protein and fats in adequate levels, or your body will suffer for it.

I am interested in your research, would you please reply with some sources to the claim that low fat is not necessary please?
Thanks.

The dieting world screams with contradictory advice: Carbs are evil; carbs are good for you. "Good fat" is healthy; "good fat" has tons of calories.

Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health and the Pennington Biomedical Research Center put four popular diets -- high carb, high fat, low-fat and high protein -- to the test to see which of the regimens resulted in more weight-loss success.

After two years of monitoring the participants, "all the diets were winners," said study co-author Dr. Frank Sacks, a professor of cardiovascular disease prevention at the Harvard School of Public Health. "All produced weight loss and improvements in lipids, reduction in insulin.

"The key really is that it's calories. It's not the content of fat or carbohydrates, it's just calories," said Sacks. The findings are published in the latest edition of the New England Journal of Medicine.

For the study, 811 overweight adults in Boston, Massachusetts, and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, were assigned to one of four diets.

A quarter went on a carbohydrate-heavy diet, some on high-fat, others on low-fat and the remaining on high-protein diet. The four diets were not based on popular diets, Sacks said.

Regardless of diet, most participants had dramatic weight loss after six months, losing an average of 13 pounds.

According to Sacks' research, many of the 800-plus participants regained weight after a year, but about 80 percent of them lost at least eight pounds after two years. And 15 percent of the participants lost at least 10 percent of their body weight.

The study, funded by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health, showed little difference in users' satiety, hunger or satisfaction with their diets.

Participants could attend individual sessions where dieticians educated them and group sessions where they discussed their experiences with one another.

Those who had better attendance in the sessions had stronger weight-loss results. "These findings together point to behavioral factors rather than macronutrient metabolism as the main influences on weight loss," according to the study. Macronutrients are the three main nutrients the body uses in relatively large amounts: proteins, carbohydrates and fats.

"No one of those diets are necessarily better than any other diet," Sacks said.

Yeah, if you are getting sugar from fruit it really is way better than processed/packaged foods.

How about peanut butter or nuts? I know peanut butter has sugar, but it may not be too bad?

Nuts have a lot of calories but are low in sugar in sodium.
I'm addicted to the Emerald Cocoa Almonds!!!!!
They are my go to snack. 1/4 of a cup easily over 100 calories and you can pair them up with yogurt.

Peanut butter has a TON of sugar in it. Added sugar too... So unless you are roasting your own peanuts and crushing them into peanut butter you can still expect to have added sugar.
