At the end of the road calorie count doesn't matter as much as the precedence placed, quality of calories does. A calorie in a sugar packet isn't remotely the same value as a calorie of broccoli. The focus on count in this conversation is missing the point. And until someone goes down the path of trying a whole foods based shift in their diet long term I fully believe that is lost on people, unfortunately.
