Luckily nutrition is fairly easy, there are only 2 rules to follow
Bullshit. Nutrition is complicated, and has many failure modes. Simple heuristics like this act more as curiosity stoppers than guidelines, and they prevent people from figuring out what’s really wrong with their diets.
I have yet to see someone fix the two things listed and not have a hugely dramatic improvement. I also see “it’s complicated” as an action stopper quite a bit.
In addition to what RomeoStevens said, a lot of the complications come in as sub-rules to the two rules stated. Different sources of calories get used for different things, and there are an awful lot of micronutrients.
