And you're right, some people can easily get fat on "healthy" foods. Too much of anything is still too much.

While I agree with this 100% I want to point out that I eat at a 40,40,20 macro range because that is what makes my body feel full and comfortable. There are enough carbs and protein to fuel me and make me feel full and the fat is low enough that I don't feel like a slug. I would be suprised if anyone (even someone who is already overweight) could get fat (ter) easily by eating in this range. It is really hard. Then again I could just be talking out of my ass. It's all sort of new to me ya know....
