What should you know?
The “calories in versus calories out” model is based on the idea that to maintain a stable weight, the number of calories you eat needs to match the number you expend. “Calories in” refers to the calories you get from the foods you eat, while “calories out” is the number of calories you burn. And how do you know how much you burn?
You can check that on any BMR (basal metabolic rate) calculator which are really accurate and reliable. The average person burns about 2500 calories a day depending on your activity level.
Diet or exercise?
Well the ironic part is that, neither of them are correct.
While “dieting” does help you lose weight, it results in a more “skinny fat”-looking body which nobody wants, and makes them think they are fat while, they aren’t. Well then, why not exercise?
Exercising is a non-reliable word, exercising is climbing stairs and running a marathon and everything in between. The more accurate word would be training.
The answer is simple: Diet and exercise should be swapped with –> Good nutrition and training.
This is proven by almost every scientific research, teaching us that people need to combine these to in order to lose fat and at the same time build muscle – which is basically the shape we all want to get. Maybe “losing weight” should be called getting in shape, and to do that you need to join the gym.
