When you consuming
something, especially food that contain trans fat, sugar and salt, ever thought
how to get rid of the calories that stay in your belly? or the effect caused
after you consume them? I don't mean to scare people off, but seriously when
you find out how much calories you have taken and the effort to lose them, it's
probably won't worth at all.
Here are some rough
examples and the estimated of calories you'll consume :
- Muffin : 1 muffin is equal to 300-350 calories, 43.1
gram carbohydrates, 22.7 gram sugars.
- Donut : 1 original donut is sames as 200 - 250
calories, 39 gram carbohydrates and 18 gram sugars. Bear in mind that the
numbers of calories, carbohydrates and sugars are increase along with the
type of glazing. If you take jelly glazed donut, the calorie intake will
reach to 350 calories per 1 donut.
- Cookie : 1 cookie carries 66 calories, 8.4 gram
carbohydrates, and 3.5 gram of sugars. Yes, it's only 1 cookie, can you
imagine if you eat up until 10 cookie chips? Just multiply the numbers !
- Noodles : A 160gram of noodle contain 221 calories,
40.3 carbohydrates and 0.6 gram of sugars.
- Croissant : 1 plain croissant is equal to 270 calories,
28 gram carbohydrates and 4gram of sugar
Now let's calculate how
much effort you have to do when you eat the food above : To burn 300 calories
you need to run at least 5km with average pace of 8.5km/hour, do 45 minutes of
high intensity aerobic and the tough deal is even 500 times of crunches will
not make the calories to go away instantly.

Just another note, the
healthy daily intake for carbohydrate is 300 gram/day
( that's maximum ! ). I mention the sugars on purpose, because sugar is type
of simple carbohydrate. So,if you eat 1 muffin for breakfast, the total
carbohydrate that you have eaten will be 65.8gram. Now,in order to lose weight,
you need to reduce your carbohydrate intake to 100-200gram each day. If you
have just one muffin in the morning, it will only leaves you to 35-135gram
carbohydrate (hmm...not really a good news eh? ).
The more calories you
take, the harder you have to exercise. If you have exercise too hard, will
cause you over training, and not good for your body.
Conclusion ? Yes, I'd
rather be low carber than I have to work hard on burning calories. I want to
maximize my training by limiting my carbohydrates intake. If you don't fancy a
gym, reducing carbohydrates will help your diet.
