Calories: to Count or Not to Count?

February 22, 2016February 22, 2016

It’s all about calories in vs. calories out, right? So, should we be counting calories or not??

All calories are not created equal. 500 calories of fruits or veggies is not, in any way, equal to 500 calories of processed food made out of a hundred ingredients, most of which are chemicals, or sugar, but certainly not food that will fuel your body properly. So, what’s the point of counting calories when calories are not what we should be measuring at all?

Shift the focus from calorie counting to eating whole, real, seasonal foods that fuel your body, satisfy your taste buds, and make you feel good. No diet, no restriction, no labels, no counting, and no one-size-fits-all attitude…because, let’s face it, that’s just no fun at all. Besides, when we’re eating real, healthy foods, our body becomes more in-tune with our hunger and satiety, in other words, when we need food, and when we’ve had enough.

We should be aware of (especially for weight-loss) portions and proportions. A portion is simply the amount of the food we’re eating. It’s not necessary to measure the precise weight/size of everything we eat; however, eyeing approximate portions ensures that we’re not eating far more or less than what we need (which is different for everyone.)

Proportion is the ratio of nutrients; protein, carbohydrates, and fat. It’s important to eat a balance of each nutrient (hence the term ‘balanced meal’) as each performs a different function in the body.

Counting calories is irrelevant, so spare yourself and focus on nutrition. Lastly, counting calories can often lead to food guilt, which is a huge waste of time and brainspace (is that a word?) Likewise, exercising simply to burn the calories we’ve consumed, or are planning to consume, is one of the most miserable things ever. Eat to fuel your body and work out to challenge, strengthen, and energize your body for endorphins, health, and fun!

I recently got to sit down with one of Keri Glassman’s Registered Dieticians, Lara. Lara is spending the summer in the Hamptons, working with clients to ensure that they have the tools to live a Nutritious Life all summer long. Summer doesn’t have to mean health taking a backseat to fun. We can enjoy summertime in the Hamptons to the fullest, with farmers market goodies, smart decisions, and active fun. Lara made us a list of 10 easy on-the-go beach snacks that are nutritious, delicious, and ready to pop into your beach bag for more time at the beach and less time prepping!
