While the “calories in versus calories out” model matters for weight loss, not all calories are created equal when it comes to your health.
That’s because different foods have different effects on various processes in your body, regardless of calorie contents.
Glucose and fructose serve as a good example.
A diet too rich in added fructose is linked to insulin resistance, increased blood sugar levels, and higher triglyceride and LDL (bad) cholesterol levels than a diet providing the same number of calories from glucose
Fruit, which contains natural fructose along with fiber and water, does not have the same negative effects.

Diets rich in polyunsaturated fats appear to boost fertility in healthy women
Replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats in your diet may further lower your risk of heart disease.
Your nutrient intake impacts your hunger and feelings of fullness.
Eating a 100-calorie serving of beans will reduce your hunger much more effectively than eating a 100-calorie serving of candy.
