“Quality ingredients” = no calories. Great to know! Can’t wait to move to France and stuff my face with croissants and cheese. :roll: [/quote].

If you know about nutrition, calories are not equal. Calorie from broccoli does not equal calorie from Big Mac. 
French cheese is not the same as Kraft cheese, French bakery croissants vs Starbucks. The quality and ingredients very much matter.  How can you not know this?[/quote]
DP. Calories are calories. The end. I can choose to have a sliver of cheese or a huge bowl of cauliflower. I can choose to have a  regular Mexican taco or to add 500 calories in cheese to it. Are you imagining somehow that I might eat more calories in a day than I burn but if it was broccoli I will not gain weight and if it is a hamburger I will gain weight? That is simply untrue.
What pp was referring to is that there are no 7 spoons of sugar in French bread like there are in some American commercially produced loaves of bread. I can eat a nice chunk of bread in Europe, not the crappy sliced bread and I will eat a higher volume of bread, yet with fewer calories.
I eat pastry every morning while in Europe, a heavy pastry called burek. I am not overweight because nobody added 10 spoons of sugar to it.[/quote]
