Nutrition Summary
Understanding Calorie Counting
Calorie counting is an effective method for weight management. By tracking your daily calorie intake, you can ensure you're consuming the right amount of energy for your goals, whether that's weight loss, maintenance, or gain.
Weight Loss
To lose weight, you need to consume fewer calories than your body burns. A deficit of 500 calories per day typically results in about 1 pound of weight loss per week.
Weight Maintenance
To maintain your weight, balance the calories you consume with the calories your body uses through basic metabolic functions and physical activity.
Weight Gain
To gain weight, you need a calorie surplus. Consuming 250-500 extra calories per day can lead to gradual, healthy weight gain.
Macronutrients
Besides total calories, pay attention to macronutrients: proteins (4 cal/g), carbohydrates (4 cal/g), and fats (9 cal/g). A balanced diet includes all three.
