Calorie Counting is what a lot of people start to do for weight-loss.
Starting your weight-loss journey can be very confusing. And overwhelming. It adds a lot of additional pressure on you and you don’t want to disappoint the one’s close to you.
All you want is a reasonable frame work to implement in your day to day with.
Calorie Counting – Good or Bad?
We are not crazy about counting calories because it can create some sort of obsession to know how many calories a food item has.
Many apps out there support calorie counting and for people consuming standard or ready made ingredients and meals, that might work.
We promote a whole foods and (almost) plant-based diet which requires a lot of home cooking and prep work. That makes using app’s for calorie counting hard and extremely time consuming since you would need to set up each dish on it’s own. Measure the ingredients, find them in the app…. it’s just too long and no one has time for that.
What we do strongly suggest thought is to be aware. Be aware of how much you move, how much you eat and in result: how high your estimated energy requirement is to either maintain, or lose weight.
3 Steps to Start Losing Weight
1: Set a goal
It’s most important that you fix yourself a goal.
Understand your Estimated Energy Requirement (EER) to achieve that goal.
How much movement is required to burn enough energy and then go from there.
Once you know how many calories you require to maintain or lose weight, you are in power. You own your health!
2: Calculate Your Estimated Energy Requirement
Not sure how many calories you need a day? You are quite active but you don’t lose weight or home office locks you in and you don’t move enough?
Fill out your activity levels below and know how your calorie intake needs to change depending on how active or inactive you are.
3: Take Action
Now that you are aware of your “number” and you know how much you need to move, it’s time you look at the way you eat to make significant changes in your weight.
