      i wouldnt worry too much about exact calorie counting. its not effective for maintaining fitness and health. instead keep track of the individual macromolecules youre consuming. you want a majority of protein and fat, so eat a lot of chicken and eggs. and enough sugar to make your brain work, so around 35-40g is plenty. then you just want to minimize unneeded carb consumption. so maybe skip out on that mac and cheese for some southwestern chili and eggs, or whatever. point is, dont count calories, make calories count.

You just have to train yourself into having a habit of cooking daily and eating fresh food daily, if you constantly can't find the time to do that, you need to FIND time for it, one way or another, cooking for yourself is just another habit that we have to learn, eating on the go is a habit, get rid of it and add a healthier one. :P You'll feel amazing.

    Once you familiarize your self with basic calorie count, it will be very easy to spot inconsistencies or false calorie labels. for example, a slice of whole wheat toast contains approximately 100 calories. So that sandwich in the video to have 230 calories is near impossible. Just spotting these small stuff can make you not go over your calorie intake.

  • @michealwilliams472
    @michealwilliams472 Před 4 lety +3499

    This video omitted an important detail:
    All of the calorie counts are over by about 10%-15%, because food manufacturers are allowed to take in the thermic effect of food when labeling for calories. So the calories on the label are the amount of actual calories in the food MINUS the calories used to actually digest it.

      A lot of these calorie counts come from entering the ingredients in a special dietitian software which draws off the USDA database for those raw inputs. It's very easy to input the wrong type of ingredient because there are so many different variables. Smaller companies are possibly more likely to have incorrect counts because they may hire someone with less experience. Same thing for vegan type products since the inputs might not be in the system.

    The silver lining is, it doesn't really matter if labels lie. If you are used to tracking calories and your weight, then you have a pretty good idea on how much calories per day you can maintain your weight. If the foods you eat regularly underreport calories that would just mean that both your intake and expenditure are higher, but that doesn't matter, since you are still going to maintain weight if they are matched.

      If you read the laws it actually states that calories are allowed to be up to 20% higher than calories posted. That not only goes for fast food, but packaged food at the grocery store as well. That is why when you go on a calorie restrictive diet, they tell most people to eat around 1200 calories, because in reality you think you are eating 1200 calories, but you are probably eating more like 1700 calories.

      Fraser Hughes True, but the ingredients in those healthy 3000 could help you metabolize properly, digest properly, give you more energy, and contain fiber to help your guts out, which might help stabilize weight down the road. There's just a lot more to it than calories.

    • @pawsup93

      @BalticFin Not really, id say that bigmacs etc. are most accurate with the calorie description. They use already made patties, buns, exact amount of sauce with their sauce 'pistols'. The only thing that varies are veggies which they cut before service, but veggies have low calories anyways so..

    • @thierryvt
      @thierryvt Před 4 lety +14

      @BalticFin Totally possible. Sometimes the sauce gin "misfires" and so give it an extra shot. Sometimes the cook's an idiot and uses the wrong sauce gun that has a bigger portion size per shot. Sauce: used to be a burger flipper.
