Consider what you are adding to your diet

Consider what you are adding to your diet

Those who are not tracking their calories will always be eating more than they think.

For example

1 pat of butter - 102 calories
100ml of whole milk – 67 calories
100ml of semi skimmed milk – 52 calories
1 table spoon of olive oil - 120 calories
1 table spoon of peanut butter - 94

Math

You have toast with butter – additional 102 calories
You have 200ml of whole milk in cereal– additional 134 calories
You cook using a table spoon of olive oil twice a day – additional 240 calories
You add 50ml of whole milk to your coffee twice a day – additional 67 calories
You spoon from the peanut butter jar - additional 94 calories

637 added calories to your day.

Have a think about what you may be consuming in which you don’t need too or what you’re not counting in your calories for the day.

Now if you’re counting such foods and your happy with your satiety, then good for you, if you’re not counting them and your not as full as you’d like – consider what your adding to foods.

637 calories could be a pretty big meal!
