To count, or not to count calories?

October 1st, 2007 by admin

There are two main opinions on this:

  • Calories are all that matter and they must be counted.
  • Calories don’t matter as much macro-nutrients (i.e. carbs, protein, fats) and so counting is pointless.

Actually both are important. Energy intake and output are measured in calories, but for health and nutrition, the macro-nutrients are equally important. Think about this: If you decided to keep your caloric intake to 1800 calories per day – would you choose to consume nothing but diet soda? Or 100% fat? Probably not. So a balance of macro-nutrients is also important.

If you are trying to lose weight, then calories do count. Depending on your individual body consititution – macronutrient ratios are important to the success of your fat loss program. This is why low-carb diets are successful for some people, and low-fat diets are to others.

adjust your calorie intake first; then look at your nutrient ratios.
