For most of human history food was scarce, so the body adapted. The brain oversees everything that goes on both inside our body and externally. To protect us from starvation it goes to great lengths to preserve body fat for survival purposes. Nowadays food is abundant for most of us which is a new problem that some theorize leaves us as a victim of a lack of self-control.
It seems simple though to assume that our brains protective nature gets called into play due to a lack of consistency. Yes we do overeat from time to time, but we also under-eat. As I've said time and time again, persistence and consistence is key to weight-loss. Treat your body right, teach it that food is abundant and you won't have a problem. Switch from under-eating to overeating and your simply telling your brain that it no longer has to survive in very uncertain times.
When it comes to nutrition, quantity is equally important as quality. Just make sure your figures add up!
