Are You Underestimating Your Calories?

May 12, 2008 by Adria Ali Leave a Comment

 

     Most people have no idea how many calories they eat.  If you do know calorie counts; do you measure your food to make sure the amounts are accurate?  With summer coming your way, maybe it’s time you started RIGHT NOW!

If you spend a lot of time eating out, then be realistic about how many calories you think you’re consuming. MSNBC reported on a recent study that found we all tend to underestimate how many calories we’re eating when eating out — by 93 percent!

If you’re eating something that seems like it is healthy, like a whole grain bagel with a thin layer of veggie cream cheese, then it probably is. If the bagel is loaded with veggie cream cheese, then probably not so healthy. But do be realistic and pay attention to what you put in your body. Just because it says whole grain and veggies does not always mean it’s healthy or low in calories (credit)

 

     Even if something is deemed “healthy” ; remember portion control on everything.  I have seen a lot of over weight people who eat healthy foods but have absolutely no portion control.  You are better off eating a lot of healthy food, spread through out the day!
