G'Mornin all! 🐓🌞
Talkin bout calories today. Basically, it all comes down to CICO, I believe. How many calories you take in vs. how many calories you use/burn during a period of time, THAT will determine if you lose or gain weight. Period.
Doesn't matter if it's 1200 calories of crappy food or 1200 calories of 'clean' food...it's still a mathematical equation, with regards to gaining/losing.
However...it certainly DOES matter NUTRITIONALLY! The body will react very differently IN OTHER WAYS to that crappy or clean fuel.
I am not a Registered Dietician nor a Nutritionist...but everything I'm seeing as I research, points to QUALITY calories making a huge difference to our mental & physical performance. I figure if I'm allowing myself 1200 calories a day of food (fuel)...I'm gonna try to make it count NUTRITIONALLY. I'm gonna try to follow USDA and other professional guidelines to make sure my body gets everything it needs to function at it's best.
Anyway...I'm probably preachin to the choir here, cuz most of you already KNOW how important it is to choose nutritious food over junk food (at least 90% of the time), right? And staying within our calorie budget means actually knowing how many calories we are consuming.
So here's a couple graphics to maybe make it a little easier to cut some calorie 'corners'. Happy Sunday to you all! Hope you remembered to 'Spring' forward this morning ⏰ (I really REALLY dislike Daylight Savings Time, btw) 🌼🌱🌷
