It's funny that people are debating what a healthy sources of calories. It's not the quantity of the calories, it's the quality. You get quality calories from a bag of carrots as apposed to a bag of chips.
You act like people are picking between eating chips all day & nothing else, lol. You gonna want protein at some point...imma need meat with those chips.
All I know is gained 15lb eating chipotle burritos twice a day when I got caught in the hype a few years ago & eating large high calorie salads at restaurants....ended up looking my most mis-shaped ever. All them nutrients ain't do a damn thing for me!!!!
Worse shape then when I was in college eating twice a day and getting the remainder of my calories from beer...and walking across campus 5days a week.
Then I paid attention to calories & lost it...and I know 8hr & Atkins are easy restrictors to maintain weights. I incorporated walking & running back then. And I take a daily vitamin. In weight loss mode calories have been calories cause no one eats candy all day!!!
