when it comes down to it most nutrition experts do believe in the calories in-calories out approach when it comes to weight loss or gain meaning that as long as you don’t eat any more calories than your body burns in a day your weight will remain stable. however there’s more to your health than just your weight. your body obviously needs the right nutrients to function optimally. this means your calories should primarily come from lean protein whole grains healthy fats and fruits and vegetables. plus if you opt for more calorie-dense foods -- those that are packed with calories typically due to high fat or sugar content -- you’re most likely going to be quite hungry toward the end of a no-more-than-1 200-calories day.
if i eat 1 200 calories a day should i lose weight regardless of what kind of foods i’m eating?
