It not though. It’s really hard. It’s a noble goal but meaningful diet / caloric reductions are difficult. It helps to not be surrounded by low quality affordable choices and to avoid food desert areas if possible.
I remember one study tracking annual caloric intake and I nthink the average person’s caloric intake deviated by less than the amount of calories in a single meal from year to year. Fighting these set points that our bodies adapt to early on is a serious challenge.

It does seem to imply focusing on caloric intake is t the path to health.

And then there was this study that says vegetables have lost a lot of nutritional value the past 50 years.
But yeah, live as healthy as you can.

Skimmed the article but they don’t even mention fiber so clearly don’t know what they’re talking about.
They even brought up the most common example of guidelines changing, but instead of explaining it just didn’t…
We’ve all seen the headlines saying that “eggs are good for you” – then they’re bad, then they’re good again. If you’d followed the science, it’s more that we thought this one thing about eggs, then we did more studies and found there was more to the story, and, since then, the advice has been pretty consistent – but it’s hard to attract attention with that. If you want to make clickbait, you can say something quite plausible that’s not scientifically accurate.
A lot of cholesterol in your blood is very bad.
Eggs have a lot of cholesterol.
The reason eggs aren’t bad, is no one is mainlining eggs…
That cholesterol goes into your lower intestine and gets digested, and once again fiber is important because stuff like that binds to it and gets carried out. But what doesn’t get pooped out whole is turned into diglycerides and fatty acids like most other lipids.
None of the cholesterol you eat ever directly enters your blood stream

The aim is to simplify the science such that people that want to make healthier choices have less decision fati trying to figure out what is the best alternative. A simple indication like “more plants and possibly whole-food” does more than listing all the components your food needs to have. Fibers are important, so are good fats, so are vitamins, so are proteins. Balancing all this might feel more like juggling. But “add more veggies” is significantly more straightforward and achievable.

“You are what you eat” isn’t supposed to be taken literally. There’s no significan link between dietary cholesterol and blood cholesterol.
You very clearly have no idea what the fuck you’re talking about
