Counting calories is not just adding a number -- matter what macronutrients come those calories (protein, fat, carbohydrates), so that your body responds as you expect. Here we will explain to you how to distribute them well.<\/p>\n

Calories, calories, Calories... Maybe the most mentioned word in the field of nutritional. It is typical for people to ask the question constantly: How to count calories, how many have been burned by these 30 min on the bike? How many has invested in walking all over your office?, and many other times, what is the alcoholic drink that you have? Today we tell you how to distribute the best way calories that you have calculated, but we do not only want to know how to calculate calories, we want you to know the importance that goes beyond this fact. It started!<\/p>\n

Macronutrients: How to count calories?<\/h2>\n

Let's start by distinguishing the calorie as a unit for measuring work, or those calories that mark the treadmill or your smart watch, which at the end of the day they are just an extrapolation of data that allow you to distinguish just how strenuous it was your workout and as well compare it with previous. However, you're calories are not always represent the amount of energy consumed, and a lot less the amount of calories that you can\/should eat.<\/p>\n

Yes yes up here I heard your heart break, as they will surely thought: \u201cThis bike says I've burned 3000 calories, and now we're going for that McTr\u00edo!\u201d But then, what is the calories you speak of? So if you follow us on social networks<\/a>you have seen that we have already spoken above of the calories calculated according to your age, weight, height, activity level, and objective or it is your metabolism.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The concept of \u201ccalories\u201d is one of the least, we like to, above all, because it seems to us a term is very ambiguous. Take note of the example below:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

A tupperware with 200 gr of chicken, 200 grams of potatoes, 100 g of avocado and 200 gr of vegetable that is a lot of food (if we do not believe try it at home and try to eat), gives us a total of 695 calories. While a portion of ice-cream 200 gr brings 502 calories. This we have calculated it with multiple applications to get data.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

While it is difficult to know for certain how many calories it has exactly one plate of food, these pages each time you evolve more and become more reliable. Surely now you understand more why we don't like to measure food calories.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Although it may seem like a little something obvious is not so easy to understand that a tupperware box as described above provides much more nutritional value than the ice cream. This is a meal much more balanced.<\/p>\n

What are macronutrients?<\/h2>\n

Before we tell you how to know when a meal is complete, we would like to first explain the following concept: Macronutrients. These are the main elements that we find in the foods we eat and most of the meals of our day-to-day can be classified as any of them:<\/p>\n
