Calorie counting is a method many people use to keep track of their daily food intake.
It's like keeping a scorecard for what you eat.
Every food and drink has calories, which are units of energy. By counting these calories, you can get a clearer
picture of how much you're consuming each day. For some, it's a way to manage weight or reach fitness goals.
Think of it as budgeting for your body. Just like you'd track your spending to save money, you track your calories
to manage your weight. It doesn't mean you have to obsess over every bite you take. Instead, it's about being
mindful and making informed choices.
Some may use apps or journals to log their meals, while others keep mental notes. Whatever method you
choose, the idea is to strike a balance between what you eat and how much you move.
So, next time you're reaching for a snack, you might pause and ask yourself, "How does this fit into my calorie
budget?" It's all about finding what works for you and making healthier choices along the way.
