I don't worry so much about any of this. I have an intensive workout at the gym 3 times a week, and look at food in terms of protein and vitamins and nutrients generally associated with them. I don't obsess about it. I pretty much eat anything I feel like eating, and try to eat things I know are mainly "empty" calories in moderation. Everything in moderation.
I don't ban delicious food from my diet for some notion of "bad nutrition". I just don't pig out on it.
Every so often you crave a good hot dog. When I do, I don't deny myself.
