Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

What is the fascination with counting calories it's not like we are talking about a slab of chocolate it's salmon, 200 calories is nothing in the grand scheme of things, the health benefits including omega is something I am more concerned about that say an extra 100 calories. This is a problem with a lot of people's food habits, counting too many calories, enjoy all foods in moderation is something I live by if I want it I eat it. But this is totally off point, back to the white meat over salmon again it's just a big no no for me.

Healthy eating in general is away to lose weight you don't need to count the calories. Anyway whatever everyone to their own!!

I didn't see an obsession with calories. And anyway, counting calories is still one of the most accepted methods of weight loss and ergo healthy eating. 

Just because it has less calories doesn't make it healthier.

These are great. thank you very much. 

Dark meat over white meat and white fish over salmon em NO don't agree at all

@Dennalll I was thinking the same thing
