Counting your calories is one of the best things you can do as someone who is trying to lose weight or maintain weight you have already lost. The amount of calories in a food item is going to determine if you gain or lose weight over time. Food that is high in calories or consuming a lot of calories a day is a surefire way to gain weight. By reducing the amount of calories you eat, you will be able to lose weight and stick to a diet plan that will actually work. You may be wondering how you can go about counting calories and understanding how many you need in a day.

The amount of calories a person should be consuming is specific to each individual person. The amount of calories you consume depends on your height, age, current weight and the amount of weight you want to lose. You can find all of this information out when you use an online calorie counting calculator. The good thing is that these calculators are normally completely free for you to use and can do wonders when it comes to helping you establish a healthy eating plan that you will actually be able to stick with over a period of time.

The next thing you will want to do is to determine the calories in the foods you are eating. The best way to determine this information is by reading food labels on everything you buy. You can then tell how many calories you're consuming and add this into your day's total. If you are dining out for the night, you should look on the restaurant's website to see how many calories are in a certain meal. The good thing is that many restaurants now have lower calorie options on their menus for you to choose if you are watching what you eat. These options are easy to find and can be asked for if you are not sure if the restaurant you're going to has these options. You will truly enjoy losing weight by watching your calories when eating at home or dining out as well.

Do you add the calories and the fat calories to know how many calories?

No fat calories are a proportion of how many fat calories are in the total calorie count. So on the label of some food, if it says 100 calories, 50 fat calories, that means there are 100 calories, but 50 of them are from fat.


Do fat calories add to the number of total calories in a food?

If you are counting calories, you count all calories including the calories from fats. However, bear in mind that (unlike carbohydrates) you do need fats and proteins in order to flourish physically. That is one of the reasons it is healthier to count carbohydrates rather than counting calories.

Do you have to count the calories of fruits and vegetables?

I recommend counting calories for everything especially fruit as it contains sugar. One banana has around 100 to 120 calories and around 27 grams of carbs. If you eat 3 to 4 bananas a day then you can get more carbs than you know if you don't count. It's also good to count everything you eat if, for example, you're not losing weight then you can go back and see how many calories you were eating the days prior. That can tell you if you need to adjust your calorie intake by lowering it.


Do the calories count if you throw up immediately after eating?

...No. But calories are, remember, energy. And much more healthy than energy drinks and the sort.
