I fully aggree!
Not only calories matter.
Somehow I think it is important to pay attention to calories. E.g. I really like Cashew nuts, they seem healthy. Also have some protein in it, but a lot of fat and calories. So it might not make sense to eat a lot of them for daily protein intake. Just an example.
I don't think people should diet but should change their diet. If you eat nutritious, non processed food you shouldn't need to count calories. No one got fat from eating too many cashews.
This 💯
I fully agree with changing your lifestyle instead of dieting.
I think calorie counting is a nice tool, no shame in that. Not sure if you eat nutritious then you won't be fat. May not work for everyone. You may not reach what you want.
Somehow as I am an engineer, I like measurements. If you can measure it, you can improve it.
Also if you do calorie counting for only a while, you will be more conscious about your food choices, which is good. Also if you pay attention to eat nutrious, you might also need to put some effort, so you are not too far from calorie counting.
Being conscious about your food choices are a good option regardless of limiting your daily calorie intake or not. I think the world is at the current state because the lack of consciousness.
I don't see calorie counting as a restrictive diet, or as an evil bad thing. I see it as a way, to keep your weight at your desired level. Also it can help you realize misbeliefs about eating, your eating habbits, etc.
I am not here to convince anyone. I wanted to only talk about the interesting aspect of people, when you do such things.
Not saying it is a bad thing! Sure can understand it but the quality of calories if way more important than the quantity. And people these days think the food they eat is nutritious while it’s not (f.e. Seed oils, oats, refined carbs,…)
Exactly!
Somehow for me, if you count calories, you count protein, fat, carbohydrates. But that is correct, that by saying count calories, you can't guess. So sorry for the misunderstanding.
