Calories - two out of three American adults need to eat fewer. A calorie is a measure of energy-producing potential. We gain body fat if we consistently eat more than we need and weight loss occurs if we eat less than we need.

The challenge arises when we fall into the “Calorie Trap.” We are often tricked into our quest for energy balance (caloric intake = caloric expenditure). We wonder why when we wake up our pants don’t fit anymore or how can I possibly gain weight when I am eating very little. The “calorie trap” strikes again.

We underestimate the number of calories that we take in by not being aware of how calorie dense particular foods really are or what an appropriate serving size really is. This particular dilemma is leaving America heavier now than it was ten years ago.

The key to weight loss and avoiding the “calorie trap” is educating you by reading labels and making intelligent food choices. You should stop thinking about carbohydrates, fats and proteins, Atkins, or the South Beach Diet. You should start becoming aware of the caloric content of the food you are eating.
