However, this idea leads to some very peculiar diets. A tablespoon of sugar is empty calories, the same could not be said of a tablespoon of cream which contains actual nutrients. Nutrient profile does not determine if a calorie is a calorie. Again, how many people do you know that eat a tablespoon of sugar? And sugar are carbs so how can they be empty calories? LOL

When going out to eat I always get the healthier sides, half portions or if those aren't options... (this is where self control comes in) use portion control. Sip water with lemon in between bites, chew slowly. Actually taste your meals & take leftovers hope for the next day. Edit: typo! A calorie isn't a calorie. Food matters. Go eat 1 1/4 cups of sugar or go drink 1 1/4 cups of heavy cream. Both are roughly 1000 calories. One will fuel your body in a constructive way, the other, well, not so much.
