This post: A long article about weight loss that is built on a calorie-centric approach to food instead of questioning that fundamental premise and differentiating between types of fats and carbs and their effects on body weight.

I've commented on this in the past but to reiterate, calories as a measure are pseudo-scientific at best and totally bunk at worst. If all you are doing is looking at that number on packaging, generally speaking, your weight control will be very limited due to the lack of precision in that measurement.
