Another great example of why measuring matters

Alatariel75 - you are so right. There are whole foods that are not nutritionally dense (high calories, relatively low nutrients). If you think about it, maple syrup and honey are whole foods!

google search: "

Why Some Whole Foods Might Be Less Nutrient-Dense:

• Fruits with higher sugar content: While fruits are generally healthy, some, like certain dried fruits or fruits high in fructose, might have more calories and sugar than others.
• Some starchy vegetables: Potatoes and corn, while nutritious, can be higher in calories and carbohydrates than other vegetables.
• Avocado: Avocados are nutrient-rich, but they are also high in fat and calories. "

It is good to think of the nutritional density of foods, as well as them being 'whole foods.'

I'm all for decreasing processed and ultraprocessed foods (don't think you can totally get rid of them). But, need to also think about the nutritional density of them.

Well if your world revolves around numbers for eating, then numbers are king, funny how that works.

Yeah the body is not a calculator and more like a biological synchronization or microbial symbiosis, basically a superorganism, hosting trillions of microbes that co-regulate digestion, absorption, and energy balance and it’s a core reason why calorie math fails to capture the true complexity of human metabolism.

It really is like rocket science, where just eating the right foods stimulates the body's built in calorie regulator where hunger cue's (hormones) become more focused and accurate which decreases cravings allowing for steady energy balance (no rollercoaster rides) where weight regulation becomes more intuitive and accurate and not obsessive where counting calories becomes a control tool rather than a tool for awareness, basically it's the old story of the forest and tree's or treating the symptom and not the root cause.😊
