Healthy Eating:
In order to lose weight, burning more calories than you consume
will really help. |
Calories
For nutrional purposes, calories measure the amount of energy
any given ingredient or recipe will provide you. We need a
specific number of calories daily from food, depending on
our size, weight , activity level and resting metabolism -
the amount of energy in the body must have simply to function.
Eat more calories than you burn and you will gain weight;
eat fewer calories than you burn and you lose weight. |

Protein
Present
in seafood, poultry, meats, dairy products, legumes and grains,
protein builds and repairs tissues and performs other essential
functions. One gram yields about 4 calories (17 kilojoules)
of energy, and a healthy diet will derives about 15% of daily
calories from protein - the equivalent of about 6 ounces ( 185
grams ) of sea food, poultry or meat. However, most Americans
eat twice as much protein as the need; often, with it comes
extra fat. |
