Why do I need to calculate???
Nutrition is MATH, luckily not a difficult one...
Like it or not, whatever your goal is (losing/
gaining/maintaining weight), it is all about math.
But don't worry guys, it is no rocket science....actually,
one simple linear equation will do:
-If your intake is higher than your output, you have a
caloric surplus and you are gaining weight
-If your intake is less than your output, you have
caloric deficit and you are losing weight
-If your intake is equal to your output, you are in a
balanced state and you are maintaining your weight
That´s how it works....as simple as that. All you need to
do is to determine what is your daily output and then
control and adjust your intake in order to reach your
goal. Of course, determining your output is more
complex task which requires assesment of several
factors (such as speed of your metabolism, level of
activity etc.). We will talk about how to get all the inputs
in the equation next time....
Counting calories is a systematic and logical approach towards nutrition and can help you achieve your goal faster and in a structured way.
I am not saying it is the only way or the correct way how
to change your body. What I am saying is that from my
experience, gaining an overview of what you put in your
belly helps you to also gain control over it...
Just remember guys - don't exaggerate it!! There are
certain dangers of ever-present couning. One can
quite easily become obsessed with it...Control your
calories but don't let the calories control you...
