Calorie a confronto secondo la fitness blogger Lucy Mountain

Una fitness blogger di nome Lucy Mountain è diventata popolare grazie il suo profilo Instagram in cui mostrava come alcuni cibi sani possono essere confrontati per il numero di calorie al cibo “spazzatura” in alcuni casi. L’obbiettivo principale di questa blogger è di mettere al confronto dei cibi che spesso si pensa che siano sani, ma non è sempre così, soprattutto se si decide di consumare in quantità spropositate.

Molte persone, dunque, si soffermano solamente a guardare il contenuto di calorie, ma in realtà è necessario considerare che gli stessi alimenti hanno pure micronutrienti e macronutrienti. Dunque, un pezzo di cioccolato può essere sano, se mangiato durante la giornata e non comporta alcun aumento di peso. Nel complesso, quindi, è fondamentale mangiare moderatamente, senza imporsi dei regimi alimentari troppo restrittivi.

Date un’occhiata a questo profilo e fateci sapere che ne pensate!

A handful of Almonds vs. A packet of Fruit Pastels ⠀ ⠀ Both snacks have the same calories. Which one would you pick?⠀ ⠀ Occasionally I’m the left hand, but mostly I’m the right hand. (I know, shocking. A person who considers themselves into health and fitness eats sweets – and is openly talking about it on social media.) ⠀ ⠀ You see, although I’m fully aware that a handful of almonds contains lots of wonderful nutrients that would keep me fuller for longer, some days (no matter whether I’m looking to gain, maintain or lose weight) I’ll choose to eat sweets or a chocolate bar as a snack ⠀ ⠀ Why? Because when the majority of my diet has consisted of well-balanced food that’s full of micronutrients, I have no issue eating something thats less so just because I love the taste of it. This is just a personal choice. Cutting out things I love isn’t realistic for me so I always squeeze something sweet into my days (all whilst still sticking to my calorie/macro/micro targets.)⠀ ⠀ Many would choose the almonds for the nutritional value or the flavour – which is totally fine. Many would choose the almonds because even though they’d prefer Fruit Pastels, almonds would make them feel more ‘on track’ mentally – which again, is totally fine ⠀ ⠀ I’m not glorifying sweets, or almonds for that matter. I’m glorifying knowing what’s in the food you’re eating, and make educated decisions based on your own values. And I value food that’s good for my body and good for my soul.⠀ ⠀ ‘Healthy’ to me is exactly what I make it. And Fruit Pastels (in moderation) make me happy which I believe contributes largely to my overall health ⠀ ⠀ #FFFoodForThought #theFFF

Just another food comparison since they’ve not been done enough ⠀ ⠀ Solero Ice Cream vs. Magnum Ice Cream ⠀ ⠀ Both creamy af.⠀ Both delicious af.⠀ One is just 150 kcals more.⠀ ⠀ If your goal is weightloss, the Solero could be a good swap for the ole classic Magnum (if it helps you stick to stay in a calorie deficit.)⠀ ⠀ And equally – if your goal is weightloss, the Magnum could be a good choice regardless (if it helps you stick to stay in a calorie deficit.) You don’t need to restrict anything out of your diet that you enjoy the taste of, no matter what your goal is. Including ice cream Enjoy.⠀ ⠀ #theFFF @thefffeed
