How to count food calories?
Counting calories is one of the most effective weight management tools. The first step is knowing how many calories each food has per serving.
The importance of portions
The same food can have very different calories depending on the portion. 30g of granola (120 kcal) vs 100g (400 kcal). Correct portion sizing is essential.
Tips for calorie control
Use a kitchen scale for precise portions. Over time, you'll develop the ability to estimate portions visually. Track meals with an app like ContaCal.
