NO. I got nonsense.

The complicated food-pyramid stuff was a turnoff to me. It made health seem complicated and goody-two-shoes. /r/fatlogic and FPH changed my worldview.

Don't forget to eat 42 servings of bread and cereal each day!

Unfortunately, No. I went to a School in NJ. And while most of the student body was human sized, I learned that my school was a collective of asteroids with legs. Their Reeees were like nails on a chalkboard.

I wish I did. Even after I "learned about them" I didn't truly understand the importance of them, how many I needed, which foods had less or more (aside from the obvious things like cake). I thought I could just exercise a bit more and easily burn them off. It wasn't till much later, and honestly too much fat, that I pulled my head out of my ass and actually looked into it. Schools need to be teaching about CICO and tdee with a refresher every year.

I did, but because I was born in the early-80s. Yeah, I'm an "old" fuck.
PE classes used to have physical fitness tests. Once a year during my elementary/middle school: Timed-mile run, timed push-/pull-/chin-/sit-ups, weight, height, flexibility, and body fat percentage were recorded. Our marks were compared to what was healthy for our height and age. PE teachers would give us a red-and-white printout (that was our "report card" for PE class) to take home to parents. If a child was overweight or below-average, there was a comments section on the bottom of the printout about how to correct the problem. No surprise, it was "more fruits/vegetables in your child's diet and more physical activity." Also, a quick blurb about caloric intake.
Calorie maintenance used to be the accepted way of losing/maintaining weight... until the diet industry came in with a metric shit-ton of static to swamp out that truth. Guy or girl, if you could "pinch an inch" (of fat) back in my day, you could afford to lose weight.

not directly, but during chemistry classes we learned about thermodynamics. So yeah you always start with calories. since it's a simple way to measure energy. (1cal= 1g of water heated by 1°C, 1kcal (or Cal for Americans) is the amount of Energy needed to heat 1kg(or roughly 1l) and now remember a chocolate bar has roughly 100kcal you can bring 1l of water from almost freezing to it's boiling point just by burning one bar.
You are free to feel disgusted now :D

More like fusion where we make heavier elements from lighter ones. Lmfao

I had a theory in high school that Gatorade made people fat because if you walk into a classroom everyone had a water-bottle except the fats which always had Gatorade or soda.

I did, but it was only because my science teacher decided to talk to us about it. It wasn't part of the curriculum, and it wasn't a lesson or anything, it just came up.
