How Many Calories Per Day Do You Need? Why Calories Don’t Matter

Calories Per Day Myth: I Need To Burn 300 Calories Each Workout To Lose Fat.

Calories Per Day Myth: I need to burn 300 calories each workout to lose fat.

Truth: Possibly one of the worst inventions for fat loss was the calorie counting monitor on treadmills, elliptical machines, and stairmasters. Because of these, millions of men and women now obsess about the number of calories burned per session. You’ve probably even been one of those people, watching it creep up ever so slowly during a slow-cardio session. All the while knowing that you can wipe out a 30-minute, 300-calorie treadmill session with one fell swoop of the Krispy Kreme hand.

Too many people are brainwashed into thinking that if they don’t burn 300 500 calories per session, then they won’t lose fat. After all, that is what you’ve been told time and time again in those fluffy fitness/fashion magazines.

The problems with this approach to fat loss are numerous. First off, it’s difficult to say if the calorie counters are even accurate. A story on CBS news showed that cardio machines overestimate calorie burning by up to 20%.  Read more...

Starving and Binging?

How calorie banking affects your Diet & Metabolism.

Tracking Calories Tips & Techniques

1. There’s almost always something healthy to eat at any gathering.
2. Choose to eat a small portion of “party food”.
3. Skipping meals or eating less deprives yourself of the valuable nutrition you require to stoke your furnace.
4. Eating less increases your appetite, causing you to binge or eat too much.
5. Eating healthy food earlier in the day is likely to fill you up and you’ll be less likely to overeat later.
6. Starving and binging will cause more damage to your body than just overeating.
7. You need to have the discipline to stick with your regular meal plan most of the time and control your portion sizes all of the time.

We’ve all tried these tricks before. With all the holidays, parties and gatherings to attend, we thought that it was OK to save up the calories so we can binge later. Then we overeat until we burst.

We all know that we do it.

So, what’s a person going to do?
