Counting calories is a very difficult thing to do. Many calorie counts, a new study shows, are off. By federal law, a food that says it has 100 calories is probably somewhere in the 80 to 120 calorie range. And that’s just if it’s a packaged snack food. Fresh foods can vary from year to year and even day to day. This is not the best way to go if you’re losing weight.
The best thing to do is start replacing calories. If you often reach for a sugary breakfast cereal for breakfast, try replacing it once or twice a week with yogurt and toast or something healthy. If you can start eating less junk and more healthy food, you’ll get more “healthy” calories. Contrary to popular belief in the United States, a low fat diet is not necessarily going to help you. A low sugar diet will.
