Why eating 'healthy' and eating for your goals is NOT the same thing.
-
One of the untold truths when it comes to losing weight or changing how we look physique wise is most people struggle with knowing how much they should be eating.
Most individuals looking for a health kick-start to their new-year-new-me goals often will often incorporate more healthy & nutritious meal choices into their daily diet.
In most cases than not, they will often end up consuming way more calories than what is required for their goals.
Whilst it is always highly encouraged to include various vitamins, minerals & nutrients from an abundance of food sources, eating too many healthy foods doesn't always equate to weight loss but rather weight gain.
Part of the root cause & issue arises from an unawareness of how much energy balance (calories) foods may contain. Where eating healthy is more than often always seen as a good thing, eating lots of healthy foods should also mean it's good for you right?
This is why I help educate clients on learning how much healthy foods they should be eating respectively whilst incorporating some food flexibility. Further taking away any UN-necessary stress & secondary guesswork along the way.
So if you're looking to work towards a physique goal it is often recommended to eat accordingly towards their goals. Whereas the food item source is often regarded as secondary, the overall portion size (calories) will be the overall determinant if we successfully lose weight or not at all.
