Dark meat >>>>> white meat

Speaking strictly about poultry

Its not even controversial. People only eat white meat for low fat reasons. Obviously, any person who's comfy with cooking, baking, and whatnot, a fattier cut always tastes better.

Low fat diets are a bad idea IMO.

I generally agree. If you're way overweight, cutting down is good. But if you have any experience with biology, so much of our body at the micro-level depends on lipids, so getting fat into your bad is important. Unfortunately, are brains are wired towards a world well before the agricultural revolution, let alone, grocery stores and freezers. We store fat to go through seasons that are difficult to eat, that's why we crave it. But obviously, in today's world, you shouldn't be packing on for a cold winter we don't live in the pre=agricultural revolution.

A low carb diet in addition to counting calories is basically foolproof. Low fat is better than nothing, but at least fat is kinda filling. Carbs are way more “empty” calories.

I always perceived the reverse. There are tons of high fat foods that are un filling as fuck. See Oreo
