If we're strictly talking about weight loss then eating the right stuff is not important at all. http://edition.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/11/08/twinkie.diet.professo

  ...less important if the rate of consuming calories can be otherwise adjusted up above the input rate.

  Yeah, I'd agree if we're just talking about weight loss. However, it's important to make sure that you get all the vitamins and micronutrients you need in your diet as well to be healthy. Fortunately, it's not easy to become deficient in most of these micronutrients.

  Eating the right stuff is at least a little important. Protein and unrefined carbohydrates are more effective at making us feel full than fat and refined carbohydrates. Put simply, a 300 calorie cookie is less filling than a 300 calorie lean steak, so you're more likely to want to eat more after the cookie than after the steak. http://www.eufic.org/article/en/artid/what-makes-us-feel-full/ http://www.eufic.org/article/en/artid/what-makes-us-feel-ful... http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16002791 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16002791
