A calorie is not just a calorie to me when…this food jeopardizes my health. I may not be overweight because of it since I balance my calories. But I may die younger, albeit thin. This is particularly applicable to me, I am not proud to say. I could mislead myself that I ate better than I did because I restricted my unhealthy eating to the weekends, so I ate well 5 out of 7 days, right? Not so, if I took into consideration the percentage of the food that I ate that was not by any stretch of the imagination healthful. I ate so much more on the weekends, so much more on those days that I didn’t eat well, that when you took at look at the total picture, more than half of the food that went into my mouth was not good for me or my future health. Just becuse I looked good on the outside, that didn’t mean I was looking too good on the inside. Eventually my science knowledge (it only took about 11 years, a Masters Degree in Nutrition and about a bazillion hous of continuing education credits mind you) guilted me into improving the content of my diet.
