There’s a lot of bro-science in here (“Your body metabolizes sugar to basically fat”, no, it doesn’t, sugar is just a simple, easily metabolized carbohydrate, and as long as you aren’t exceeding your caloric intake regularly, it’s fine).

+1 to this. I have a pretty terrible diet (I make ice cream fairly often) but I've been able to control my weight by cutting calories elsewhere.
