How Many Calories Are You Really Consuming

I don’t usually count calories, I usually guess my calorie intake and just concentrate on eating healthy. Yesterday, noticing that I had gained a few pounds, I decided to write down everything I ate and drank. I was shocked at the result. My total calorie intake yesterday was 3066 calories, and if I was asked how many calories I thought I’d eaten I would have said no more than 2000.

So if you find you’ve been gaining weight it could be that you have gradually increased your calorie intake without realising. Print out this chart (or create your own) and log your calories every day for a week; the results might surprise you.

Healthy Food Tastes So Good

I remember in the past that I used to see healthy foods like salads as tasteless rabbit's food...how wrong I was. I think many of us who are overweight live under this myth that healthy food tastes bad and unhealthy food tastes good. I realised that it was a matter of habit, once I gradually changed my eating habits, I began to discover that healthy, clean foods are super-delicious.

The salad in this picture was one I made for myself, and believe me it was delicious. Salads are so versatile because you can add just about anything to them. I did not need to add a high calorie dressing to it because the ingredients I used (especially the guacamole) really added lots of flavour.

I took this photo with my I-phone and did not realise it would come out so well, so I am really enthusiastic now about posting more pics of my meals and recipe ideas in forthcoming posts.
