What is the consensus here currently on this? A decade ago there were a few hardcore thinkers saying a calorie is a calorie when eating

Just wondering if those people have come around and realize how many issues eating fat causes.

I thought saturated fat was actually good for you and seed oils, sugar and grains are actually the devil. It's all very confusing, but my blood work is excellent in terms of LDL and HDL. I eat a lot of saturated fat and avoid margarine, seed oils, sugar. I am not sure if any if it adds up. As I said it's very confusing

  • 10,000 calorie a day diet is the answer.

This is true.
It's not confusing at all.

From an energy standpoint, a calorie is a calorie.
From a nutritional and health standpoint all food is not equal.
