Detailed explanation-1: -Are Calories Bad for You? Calories aren’t bad for you. Your body needs calories for energy. But eating too many calories-and not burning enough of them off through activity-can lead to weight gain.
Detailed explanation-2: -Not only does counting calories not support you in living a healthy and balanced lifestyle, but it may also contribute to more stress, guilt, confusion, and overwhelm with food. If you’re surprised to hear that we, as Registered Dietitians, don’t recommend counting calories, keep reading.
Detailed explanation-3: -Calorie consumption that is too low or too high will eventually lead to health problems. The number of calories in food tells us how much potential energy they contain. It is not only calories that are important, but also the substance from which the calories are taken.
Detailed explanation-4: -Foods with empty calories will still give you energy. However, they offer little to no nutritional benefit. Empty-calorie foods with too much saturated fat, sugar and sodium (salt) can raise your cholesterol and blood pressure, increase the amount of sugar in your blood and put stress on your organs.
