This fails though as eating highly processed food leaves you hungry and more likely to overeat. Also micro-nutrients and vitamens are of critical importance beyond the basic Macro-nutirents of Fat/Carb/Protein. Also things like fibre are also important, not to mention the insulin load that refined sugars put on your body.
A balanced diet of table sugar, butter, protein powder and a multi-vitamen in correct portions is not a healthy diet.
