Is Calorie Counting Ruining Your Health?

Far 2 Fabulous

Episode 27
Ever wondered why your calorie counting efforts seem to fall short? Join us as we journey through Catherine's post-marathon experience, shedding light on the motivations behind tracking calories and the essential role hydration plays in body composition. We'll unveil surprising insights from popular apps like MyFitnessPal and Noom, diving into the nitty-gritty of understanding calories, setting realistic dietary goals, and navigating the complexities of macronutrients such as protein and fiber. Personal stories and honest frustrations will guide you toward a deeper awareness of your dietary habits and nutritional needs.
Unlock the secrets of portion control and mindful eating as we tackle common pitfalls like overindulging in high-calorie foods and using exercise as a free pass to eat more. Discover how food diaries can expose hidden calories and better manage portion sizes. We'll discuss the influence of larger plate sizes and societal norms around food waste, offering practical tips and a fresh perspective on hunger and nutrition. By the end of this conversation, you'll be equipped with the tools to recalibrate your understanding of what your body truly needs for a healthier lifestyle.
In the final stretch, we demystify calorie counting and emphasize the importance of nutritional balance. Compare a seemingly healthy halloumi wrap with a nutrient-dense salad to understand the real impact of different foods on satiety. Learn about the roles of carbs, proteins, and fats, and why low-fat products might not be as healthy as they seem. We'll debunk calorie myths and share the benefits of tracking nutrition beyond just numbers, highlighting the importance of individualized dietary plans and nutrient-rich foods for optimal health.
