IS IT ENOUGH TO MAINTAIN CALORİ BALANCE?
If you're interested in nutrition and weight loss, you probably know a little bit about counting calories.
You can look at the label of food and read its calories, and when you get high calories in your own way, you reduce "calories" from the next meal. yes, I can't say you've done exactly wrong so far. So we do it occasionally to "balance" it with my clients. However, as you become more interested in calories, you may be less likely to apply them correctly.
How's that?
You tried to calculate the calories you should take daily, decided on a number of your own and started to follow it with an app that counts calories.
"To eat my chocolate wafer, I'm going to have to cut out my fruits and walnuts today and some olive oil from there."
"Let me replace the calories of lunch today with a cheesecake."
"If I combined breakfast and lunch and bought a doughnut and ate it, it kept the calories."
> Don't you think something's wrong?
If our body was just a calorie-burning machine, you'd probably keep those calculations. As a healthy person, you would maintain your weight and move on with your life.But for the human body, it is necessary to maintain adequate and balanced carbohydrate, protein, fat intake, adequate balance of fiber, vitamins, minerals, except for the total calories it needs.
You may be maintaining your weight, but if your diet consists of highly saturated fatty foods (such as fastfoods, chips), processed carbohydrates and sugary foods (such as cakes, cookies, chocolate), it seems a little difficult to say that you have a healthy body with this diet. This affects your gut microbiota, insulin balance, hormones and blood values, in short, all the systems that sustain your body.Take healthy eating as a whole and look for balance not only in calories but also in healthy content. Of course, in doing so, let's not make things insurmountable by imposing strict rules and prohibitions on yourself.
