that sounds right. its amazing how much of our nutritional "science" is based on pretty loose assumptions that were never challenged. cholesterol, saturated fat, carbs, etc. If you stick to whole foods 90-95% of the time, you should be good.

we as americans just eat too much, so cutting back on total volume of food consumed is important. its tough to do though, because overeating is so engrained in our society. how often are bagels brought into the office (over 1000 calories with cream cheese - thats about 1/2 of what the average guy should be eating in a day, with very little nutritional value), or its someone's birthday and there's cake and you feel like a jerk turning it down, or everyone is ordering subs or pizza and you feel weird getting a salad, etc.
