Epidemiologist, food hygiene expert Nikolai Dubinin advised not to count calories when losing weight,
According to him, the calorie content of the product does not depend on the energy value, but on the method of processing. And even counting calories and eating the same chicken breast with buckwheat all the time is unhealthy.
For food to be healthy, you need to not count calories.each meal, and stick to a complete, balanced diet, which will include proteins, fats and carbohydrates. The doctor emphasized that for health, nutrition should be varied, and eating habits "should be formed based on the needs of the body."
“Calculate the rate of calories is not alwaysseems necessary for healthy people with an active lifestyle. In addition, the concept of caloric content of products is quite subjective and often depends not on the energy value of the product itself, but on its subsequent processing. It is also difficult to count the number of calories in fats, proteins and carbohydrates, because first of all, a mathematical calculation is taken, not a chemical one. You may never know how much energy you consumed, even after calculating everything on a calculator or following calorie tables, ”Dubinin noted.
