Is A Kcal a Kcal or is it Balance of the Macro Nutrients

Everyday read a new study about nutrition and is either saying a Kcal is just that or is states that you should be high protein or low fat or something else. One study says that it's important to have a low calorie diet the next says not to worry about calories just limit your carbs or fats. Whatever!

If you say that a calorie is a calorie than what is keeping from ingesting nothing but fats. That's right, all of your calories are fats! If you take in 2400 Kcal a day why not take in all fats. Probably not really that healthy. OK, how about all protein. That's great until you want to produce hormones or be sure you are getting your omega 3's. Then it must be all carbs. Maybe not because we need some protein as well as some fats.

Bottom line is we need to control our calorie intake or the extra Kcal's will be stored as fat justifying that too many Kcals is a bad thing. We also need to be sure we are getting carbs, fats and protein in our diets justifying that a Kcal is and is not a Kcal, we just don't need more that we need.

So we all are different. There is no simple solution for diet. Some of us will use more protein or carbs or fats than others. The only thing I'm sure of is I need to eat a well balance diet, but what I eat may not work for anyone but me.
