It is important in a weight management program, but it is not necessary. Why?
1) Weight loss is all about calorie deficit, which total calorie intake is less than total calorie consumption, the body will use stored fat as energy and fat burning happens. Therefore, when we consult students on weight management case, we will first understand their personal situation and eating habits, then only calculate the appropriate calorie needs to formulate a fat reduction plan to achieve weight loss results.
2) People who want to gain weight, such as patients with other chronic diseases/cancer patients, need to ensure that their weight does not drop too much and affect their fight against the disease. Dietitians must also calculate the recommended calorie intake to help them increase their weight. Without this as a basis, it is more difficult to formulate a suitable diet plan.
It's just that it is not necessary, and it refers to those people who are in these stages of losing weight.
First: If you are new to weight loss programme. Because you may not be familiar with the types of food or the nutrition distribution of the plate. What you need is to understand the basics of diet concept first, which you can start with a healthy plate by using your fist or palm.
Second: People with eating disorders. Because it is not the calories that affect your weight loss process, but the psychological relationship between you and food. You need to rebuild your understanding of food, and the calorie counting method may not be suitable for you.
Third: People who are prone to anxiety. Because they are used to following a routine/paying attention to numerical accuracy, they over-calculate calories and become fussy. However, the calories in food are also be estimated and may slightly different due to countries. If you pay too much attention to numbers or decimal points, you may cause weight stagnation due to stress as well.
