Fast Food vs. Healthy Food It’s just calories, right?





Hi people!  Darrin back your starting over coach

One of the main misconceptions my clients delude themselves with when we do our fitness assessments is that fast food is just excess calories, and that as long as they do portion control, they’re fine.  No.  If they only eat half now and the rest later, that’s good.  No.  It is a very popular (and abused) idea used to justify eating fast food. 

Eating half now and saving the rest for later sounds like a good idea, right?  May I ask the last time you actually did “save the rest for later”?  I’d also like to inquire if you research what you’re actually consuming.  How many calories, fat grams, carbs, sodium, sugar, and fillers are in that meal?  The average fast food meal has 1300 calories. Take a look at the video link below from the Today Show to see an example of what you know vs. what you think you know.  By the way, 1300 calories can equal 4 healthy meals with grilled chicken, broccoli, and brown rice.  Hmm, one fast food meal split in two vs. 4 satisfying healthy meals.  I know which one(s) I’d choose…

Again, this is all about weight loss and being healthy.  There are so many things we take for granted or simply ignore when it comes to how we eat.  Would you like to know why you can’t go all day without eating (because you’re “cutting calories”), then eat a quick/easy/convenient 1300 calorie fast food meal without expecting your body to store it?  Come talk to me and we’ll cover all the bases.
