Something else that Chris's post brings to mind is the limited scope of most diet studies. Usually they are weight loss trials on obese people. There's not a lot of research on diet as it concerns athletes, or people trying to get to very low body fat (like me). So I have to read the research, extrapolate with a grain of salt, take advice from friends, and pay attention to my own experience.
