In yesterday’s blog, I talked about how it makes more sense to have lower calorie density options if we are hungry and / or have a large appetite.
And I know, from experience, that will have left a number of people wondering how they work out calorie density.
And I know that a number of people will have been put off by talk of calories and tracking overall.
Which I get.
It’s easy to develop a lot of negative emotion around this.
But there’s another way we can choose to look at this.
To find the calories on something we just need to look at the label on it.
Or, if there isn’t one, look it up on something like MyFitnessPal or Google.
The lower the number of calories per hundred grams, the lower the calorie density.
And, therefore, the greater volume of that we can have for the same amount of calories.
So, really, all that label is doing is telling us the appropriate portion size for us.
It’s the “Appropriate Portion Size label”.
It just tells us how much of that thing, is an appropriate appropriate amount for some one of our size and activity levels.
Like the label that shows what batteries something takes.
Or what fuel to put in something.
And it doesn’t need to have any more emotion than that, if we choose.
Much love,
