>Getting enough calories and nutrients can be a challenge and is far from easy with the "standard western diet".

Have you been to a grocery store in the last 100 years? Getting enough calories and nutrients is dead simple, our stores are overflowing with fresh fruit, vegetables, nuts and meat. What is the "standard western diet"?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_pattern_diet, also referred to throughout the article as "The Standard American Diet".

Under normal circumstances the difficulty with the western diet is getting enough nutrients, but not too much calories.

I meant the combination can be a challenge if your on a narrow time feeding window.
