Planning our calorie intake
The first thing that springs to mind when trying to maintain or indeed to lose weight is that
we must balance our calorie intake through food against energy through burnedactivity on a
daily basis. After all it is because we are in effect eating too many calories and not burning
enough of them through activity that our bodies are storing the excess as fat that we end up
overweight. Therefore in its simplest form a plan for losing weight would involve cutting
down on our calorie intake as this should enable us to encourage our body to utilize its
reserves – fat – and then lose the desired amount of undesirable weight in a controlled
fashion. However, as with all plans the devil is in the detail as it soon becomes clear that
counting calories and planning meals around a set number of daily calories becomes very
difficult.
