want to stop thinking about food in numbers for good? comment ‘EGGS’ and I’ll send you exactly where to start 🐣
your Easter weekend is not going to derail your health - and here’s the maths to prove it 🐣
I don’t love reducing food to numbers at allll
there was a time when I couldn’t look at a meal without mentally adding it up, and it was exhausting and frankly got me nowhere ☹️
but sometimes a little perspective goes a long way!
to gain 1kg of actual body fat you’d need to eat roughly 7,700 extra calories on top of what your body already burns. that’s 34 hot cross buns. 43 creme eggs. 480 mini eggs. 7 full lindt packs.
and if the scales go up after the long weekend? that’s very likley make up of mostly water weight from extra carbs - which is temporary and normal!
so instead of letting your brain spiral and restrict post easter - lets let ourselves get back to eating well and looking after yourself as usual and it will level out on its own.
and if you do feel guilty about what you’ve eaten? that’s okay too - it’s so so common and it makes a lot of sense given the world we live in with people saying foods are ‘good’ and ‘bad’ (lets give ourselves permission to zoom out and see the bigger picture of our health!!).
