A calorie is not just a calorie to me when…it is a segue food (much like the concept of a gateway drug). A great example of this for me is the rice on a Chinese buffet. Not a terrible food. Not even a particular favorite of mine. Innocuous enough, right? But if I buy into that and start on it, I am immediatly adding sauce and eventually, inevitably, predictably ending up at the fried dumplings.
