Calorie Counter


Know what you eat! Calorie counters can tell you what is good for you!

No particular food plan is magical and no diet will work without your commitment and an efficient calorie counter. It seems simple enough, yet why do so many dieters get off track and never reach their target? May it be for the simple reason that they know little about the foods they eat? Or is it because they do not use a calorie counter?

If you are following a diet, you should have a simple meal plan and a calorie counter at hand. Knowing ahead of time what you will eat during the day will reduce temptation. It will stop you from grabbing the first thing that comes to hand just because you don’t know what else to eat. Adding a food calorie counter to check the nutritional values of your meals will not only tell you that your choice was the correct one, but will also give you peace of mind that your diet plan is still on track.

To guarantee the success of a balanced weight loss program you have to know the nutritive value or calorie count of the foods you consume. Even if you think you know exactly how many calories there are in a scoop of rice, think again. Did you know that there is a difference if you boil or cook rice? Check out the online Shape Wise Food calorie counter and you will find that 1 cup of white, boiled rice has 125 calories (522 Kilojoules), while the same amount of rice, fried, will weigh in at 130 calories (544 Kilojoules). Even the nutritional break down of the calories is different– which this particular calorie counter also displays. Slight calorie difference may not seem much, but all together they will definitely slow down your weight loss.

Rice is usually served with a side dish or can be prepared with spices, vegetables or other flavours. The calories of these ad-ons will also have to be recorded. One cup of dry mix, meat-based, flavoured rice will take up 342 calories (1433 Kilojoules) of your daily ration, while the same amount of rice used in a homemade cream rice pudding will be a tasty dessert, only costing you 136 calories (570 Kilojoules).

To see the actual calorie differences in the foods we eat and how the calorie count changes when these items are prepared will make you aware on how indispensible calorie counters are. They will keep track of all the calories, even those hiding in ingredients that would have otherwise gone unnoticed. As we all know, incorrect calorie recording will lead to weight loss failure.

The full-service Shape Wise food calorie counter also shows a table of exercise possibilities to burn off these undesired calories. For example, to work off that cup of boiled rice you can run 11 min, walk for 30 min, swim, and cycle or play tennis for 13 min, or have fun with aerobics for 18 minutes.

Along with nutritional adequacy, calories should be high on any dieter’s priority list. Ask any dietician and he/she will agree that meals should be calorie-balanced, but should also remain appetizing. You should be able to eat foods you actually like even when you are tracking calories and carbs. This means that you should incorporate your favourite recipes into your menus, even if you may have to alter them slightly to fit into your diet plan. You may also have to substitute some ingredients for less calorie-rich foods, decrease the portions or increase the intensity of your physical activity regime to work off any excess calories.

If you are a new dieter or have been unsuccessful with weight loss programs in the past, combining all these diet requirements can all be a bit tricky. You may feel lost and confused, and may even be too ashamed to ask your friends for advice on how to use a tracking tool and calorie counter, or how to create a proper dieter’s shopping list. You may not know how to put a fad-free meal plan together that is based on scientifically proven weight-loss methods or a diet that allows you to eat out and even have the occasional meal on the run. Most dieters don’t and therefore need assistance from skilled professionals who understand the anguish they go through, as well as their physical and emotional needs.

Weight Loss Programs


Lasting weight loss & weight loss programs that last

The naked truth about the "perfect" weight is that it does not exist. Neither is it tied to a magic number on your scale, nor measured to your height. The perfect weight is the one that makes you feel comfortable in your skin, while keeping you healthy and full of energy.

Sadly enough, not many people reach that physical stage where they feel happy about their weight and body, and, as a result, weight loss products and weight loss programs are booming like never before. They are advertised everywhere from magazines, newspapers and billboards, to radio and television commercials, and let's not forget the numerous promotions on the Internet.

All this commotion about diets is hard to ignore and it is inevitable that, sooner or later, you too will feel displeased with your appearance. Before long, you too will be looking at weight loss solutions and will try to figure out which one suits your goals and lifestyle best.

The first thing weight loss experts will encourage you to do is to go on a sensible diet which should consist of healthy foods, exercise and a positive attitude. These specialists will explain that it is important to eat right, increase physical activity and feel good about yourself while you are on the program. It is probably the one philosophy they all seem to agree upon. Once they are past that stage, they all have their own ideas about how you should lose the excess weight and what you should or should not eat.

While you are studying your options, you will notice that one dietician will tell you that you should focus on counting calories, while the next one feels body mass index is more important. Should you go on a low GI diet, or would it be better to stick to protein-rich, filling foods? If you are a vegetarian, is there a weight loss plan for you? The options are endless and your simple quest to lose weight soon turns into a dreadful dilemma.

Fortunately, losing weight does not have to be a nightmare, but instead, can be fun, exciting and rewarding. All you need is a support system that will supply all the answers to your questions, can tailor a diet to meet your goals and will be there for you every step of the way until your target is met.
