Shall we say a balance of both is best? Take opportunities to enjoy life now while investing in a future where you will be free to spend your time as you please and not be forced to work until death.

This is precisely the issue. Calories are important but it's micronutrient adequacy, variety, and balance that matters as much, and arguably more so, in terms of what is healthy. We shouldn't be measuring cost based on calories a

I disagree that the vast majority of people are following the dietary guidelines (they aren't just AMDRs) I base my assertions from. However, unless you/I present evidence for either case, it's a non-starter. You're igno

Fats do not become glucose (with the exception of the glycerol from triglycerides...a minute amount of the total kcals from one trig) but they do become energy. The majority of energy is in fatty acids which have no pathway to glucose. For

Not a huge fan of grains, but in moderation they are perfectly fine. They are used to fatten up livestock but I highly doubt those livestock are being fed an appropriate distribution of macros (carbs, pro, fats) to maintain their health. Se

A large percentage of our dietary need is strictly for energy (via glucose). Carbohydrates are most efficient over fats or protein to fulfill this need, among other needs like fiber intake. Complex ones work best, not only for sustained ene

Skepticism is important for any advice. MyPlate/USDA dietary guidelines are updated often, based on all the research and debunking that has happened before and since 1992. As I mentioned in another comment, it's a good place to s

:) Like everything else in life, nutrition as a science is incredibly more complicated than we want to believe or describe. A seriously good place to start is MyPlate (their nutrition AND physical activity recommendations).

Inflammation = immune response, and isn't always detrimental (immune response to a foreign body, or healing from trauma are good responses) but can be a bad thing (arthritis from antibody complexes, or artery inflammation as we are foc

I agree, and the focus should be a on a varied diet. So multiple complex carb sources (potatoes, whole grains, beans, etc).

Ketoacidosis is a definite concern with ketosis. Perhaps "common effect" was a bit overstated :/

There are costs to gluconeogenesis (glucose via protein catabolism), kidney issues to name one (deamination producing ammonia). The body does not synthesize glucose from fatty acids (beta-oxidation occurs producing aceytl-coA in the mitocho

While keto seems promising in the short term, there isn't much data to validate whether it would be best for "most people". There is a definite concern long term with organ failure associated with ketoacidosis.

There are plugins for syncing to various cloud providers. For each device platform, there will be many apps available that support Keepass. Each app will vary in how useful it is to you (each one is a different third-party developer), but

Assuming you paid with a credit card, a simple charge-back (dispute) would've gotten you the $15 back. Credit cards - especially Amex/Discover/Visa Signature - are really good about refunding in cases like these.

I've worn contacts for years and it was never mandated which brand/type I could buy. When you get a contact lens exam, it just says what size and power they should be. Perhaps your insurance only covers that brand, but an exam and
