    Guys are packet noodles good for you? They taste great, are cheap and convenient, and are usually around 400 calories a pack.
    Don't worry about calories. Calories don't cause body fat. Dietary fat causes body fat.

    • KI’m overweight and I have diabetes.  Much of my problem is portion. 

    I never had a weight problem when I younger.  I drank milk and ate some meat, pasta, salad and raw veggies.  I also biked a lot and ran 10 miles almost every day until I hurt my ankle.  Then I packed on weight and had a desk job.

    When I got married, I moved to an area where most people are unhealthy.  I picked up some bad eating habits.

    Don't worry about calories. Calories don't cause body fat. Dietary fat causes body fat.
    Don't excess calories cause fat as well? If I ate 1200 calories of just sugar, and only used up 500 calories, then the rest would be stored in the fat cells. Right?

    I really do think you are over simplifying this.

    No. It can't be stored as fat. Sugar can't be converted to fat. You would convert the sugar to glucose which is subsequently converted to glycogen which is stored in muscle. The 500 calories you "used up" is expended as energy. The remaining glycogen in muscle is fuel reserve.

    Avoid/limit sugar and you’ll be better off

    Ok, but storing glycogen long term is not good either.

    This is why I don't think there is one size fits all solution.

    Nonsense. Avoid/limit dietary fat and you won't get fat, diabetic, heart disease, etc. 
    You can eat limitless sugar as long as your dietary fat is very low, and you'll be far better off.
