I made it through the first few pages and the author seems to treat calories from all sources the same. I wonder what his take on the theory that calories from some sources (e.g. saturated and monounsaturated fats) are generally not translated to fat in your body whereas calories from other sources (glucose, fructose) generally are. For example, a tbsp of coconut oil contains 117 calories while the same volume of sugar contains 48. Yet anyone following a ketogenic diet would argue in favor of calories from the coconut oil over sugar any day. Another great nutrition book for the analytically-minded among us (not actually a prescriptive "diet" despite the title): Perfect Health Diet http://perfecthealthdiet.com/the-diet/ http://perfecthealthdiet.com/the-diet/
