I'm sick of people claiming calorie dense food is unhealthy. It's not. Calories are required for your body to function. An adult needs 2000kcal per day; whether they are spread out over 8 meals or 3 makes no difference. Eating the amount of calories of a hamburger every day is nothing special, especially if you do sports regularly.

This comment was made by the <20 BMI gang.

Coming from the >30 BMI gang, a lot of the food in the West (especially the United States but a lot of other countries are having this problem too) has a shit-ton of calories and very few other nutrients. That's the biggest problem with caloric density, when food has a lot of calories and no nutrients it encourages either obesity or nutrient deficits.

There are some foods while very caloric will give you a massive amount of what you need. Its important to not made them the villains too.

Only thing wrong with calorie dense food is that people eat too much. Guess you could add ignorance in there as well. Pretty shocking when you look at the numbers on the menu.

Not that people actually look. They got every excuse in the world for being fat, except the big one, placing calories in their mouth.

whether they are spread out over 8 meals or 3 makes no difference.

While I agree with your overall point, this isnt true. While there is still debate about the "best" frequency to eat meals in, its generally agreed upon you dont want to eat all of your daily calories at once as you overstress your gut and cant process it efficiently.
