Yes, knowing the calorific content of your food is crucial if you want to create a calorie deficit. However, what is more important is its contents.

As well as noticing how many calories your next meal or snack consists of, why not check how many ingredients are listed on the side of the packet?

Often, calories are replaced with fillers and additives that have no nutritional value and can even contain toxins that poison your body and could cause both short - or long-term damage.

If in doubt, whole foods are always best. Nutritionally dense and ready to fuel to body, ready to take on any challenge provided to you.
