  Yeah this was essentially what Jeff Nippard came to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keBZfGAmq2Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keBZfGAmq2Q A massive oversimplification of the above video: Most people aren't consciously choosing to be more obese compared to people in the 1950's, there's simply a much higher availability of high caloric foods and marketing/psychology around it.

  Not just that. But let's say i decide to go out for something at the healthy place... I can give an example. I went to a place that markets itself as super healthy foods. I had just finished a 7km run and was feeling like treating myself to something other than the usual calorie controlled foods i usually eat. I ask the girl behind the counter "how many calories are in this salad" ... She gets a big book and starts flipping through the pages.... After what feels like 5 minutes she says "1500 kcal" That's heaps. So I decide to enter the things inside it and some rough weights into MyFitnessPal... The salad came out to about 200-300 kcal. So the dressing must have been the rest. I ordered it without the dressing. My point to this is even at the healthy places that are marketed as healthy so order anything.... You could be eating more than a big Mac meal.
