Food intake, the most important part of your nutrition!

Eating too many calories is unhealthy in itself – whether that be overeating cabbage or chocolate. It’s still extra stress on the body, and will lead to a lowering in energy and a build up of fat in the body.

You should be cautious of how many calories you’re consuming, especially if you are trying to lose weight! Aim to eat 200-500 less calories than you would normally do, the larger the calorie deficit the greater the weight loss. Instead of going without meals, try eating healthier food throughout the day. That being said, you should also consider that lowering your calories too much can have negative effects on the body such as very low energy, brain fog and many more problems.

If you are trying to gain weight, you should consider aiming for 200-500 calories over your normal intake. Remember that eating more calories than your body need is not healthy and therefore you should do this as little as possible, a small amount of extra calories should be the objective here! Growing muscle takes a long time so enjoy the process and take your time.

We recommend tracking your calories using MyFitnessPal – A great app, that will allow you to lose weight or gain the weight you need.
