Count Calories But Check
Nutrition Too
Calorie-counting only works up to a point:
nutrition is also important. Under certain circumstances, food energy
cannot be properly metabolised without sufficient minerals and vitamins.
For example, the energy in "empty calorie" foods becomes unavailable
to our body and is stored as body fat until we ingest the necessary minerals
and vitamins at some later time. This is why a healthy calorie-controlled
eating plan should be based on nutrient-dense meals and snacks. The calorie
content of orange juice is relatively low; its nutritional value is relatively
high.
