Calories and Nutrition

Total Calories

The majority of individuals are now aware that eating well can help them live longer and keep a healthier body. In order to shed pounds, or more accurately, reduce body fat, the USDA advises reducing our daily caloric consumption. Moreover, it is advised that we consume no more fat than 30% of our total calories, with fewer than 10% of those calories coming from saturated fat, which is the type that harms our hearts the most. Additionally, you should only consume as many calories as your body actually needs, independent of the source (protein, carbs, etc.) in your diet. The body stores any calories that are not used during the day as fat. For advice on a diet customized to your unique eating habits and lifestyle, speak with your physician, dietician, or personal trainer.
