Calorie Counter

Although counting the calories you eat and doing the calculations to see how many calories you've burned is helpful and maybe motivating, it's not always the best thing to do. I'm sure you're wondering why. The fact is, so many people love the idea of planning, restriction, and a schedule. But when it comes to acting, those same people start to feel bored because of the same plans, deprived with all the restrictions, and stressed to stick with a schedule. 

So instead of stressing out about calorie intake and caloric expenditure, I would like to encourage all of you to just take each day at a time and stick to a basic idea of treating your body well with healthy foods and healthy moderation. Do some research and see what kinds of foods are okay to treat on and what other foods are just not worth it. Then take it day by day, making a deliberate decision to fuel your body appropriately, with an appropriate amount of indulgence now and then.

As for exercise, I have here a link for a Calorie Counter that will give an idea of what you're probably burning during a certain cardiovascular activity. Be sure to pick a cardiovascular activity that you usually take part in, an approximate length of time, and a weight value. Now, notice that I said it will give you an idea of what you're probably burning during an activity. The reason why I say this is so that you will not go overboard and start to obsess about how many calories you're taking in and how many you're burning. Life is not about stressing out when it comes to weight, size, and inches. It's about staying healthy and improving your quality of life.
