What is healthy in terms of fertility means "eating a lot of fat, protein, calories, and nutrients". What is healthy in terms of longetivity does not involve eating a lot, but eating adequate amounts. In animal studies, when animals go onto lower cal diets, they stop having babies, but live a long time!
