What is a calorie and why is it important?
Calories are fundamental to our daily lives, but did you know that they are more than just numbers on food labels? Calories are actually units that measure the energy contained in the food we eat. This energy is indispensable for the vital functions of the human body. However, it is crucial to maintain a proper balance: consuming too many calories can lead to weight gain, while consuming too few can lead to weight loss.
How to control caloric intake for a healthy diet?
Keeping track of the calories you consume is an effective technique for managing your weight. It gives you a framework for how much you need to eat based on your daily energy needs and your health goals, whether it is to lose, maintain or gain weight. This practice goes beyond just counting calories: it's about knowing your calorie sources and choosing foods that provide sustained nutrition and energy.
What are the nutritional benefits of salmon, kale and quinoa?
Choosing nutrient-rich foods is key to a healthy diet. Superfoods, such as salmon, kale and quinoa, are rich in nutrients and offer significant health benefits.
What attributes stand out in salmon?
Salmon is an excellent source of protein, almost double its fat content, making it a nutritious choice. Although it is high in fat, only a small portion is saturated, while most of it is unsaturated, which is generally considered better for the body. It also contains cholesterol, which is essential in adequate amounts but not very beneficial in excess.
Why is kale so healthy?
Kale is a green leafy vegetable with low levels of calories (only 33 per serving) and high in vitamins A and C. It is an excellent addition to any diet. It is an excellent addition to any diet, providing essential nutrients with minimal caloric impact. It also includes a small amount of protein, which adds extra nutritional value to this superfood.
What makes quinoa a superfood?
Quinoa is a grain notable for its complex carbohydrate content, which the body metabolizes slowly, providing sustained energy. It is free of added sugars and an excellent source of vegetable protein, making it ideal for vegetarians and vegans, or simply for those looking to reduce their meat consumption.
How to identify and substitute unhealthy foods?
Checking nutrition labels and evaluating the foods you consume on a daily basis can reveal a lot about the balance of your diet. Consider substituting unhealthy foods with nutrient-rich options. Carefully examine the nutritional information on the products in your cupboard and refrigerator, and look for healthy alternatives that can improve your overall well-being.
Practical Exercise
I encourage you to perform an analysis exercise with the foods you have at home. Review their nutritional information and evaluate how healthy they are. For those that may not be, look for alternatives that better align with your nutritional goals. This practice not only encourages balanced eating, but also makes you more aware of the choices that impact your health.

Did you notice that I used different words to refer to subgroups of various things?
#### **Examples:**
1. **Nutrients in Food:**
* "Each food is full of nutrients."
2. **Nutrient Levels:**
* "Neither nutrient is good in excess."
3. **Calorie Content:**
* "All foods contain calories."
These sentences show how I used specific words to talk about subgroups of larger categories.
When I think about the food I eat, I notice a mix of healthy and less healthy choices. For breakfast, I usually have toast with butter and a cup of sweetened coffee. Although it's quick and tasty, it’s high in sugar and saturated fat. A healthier alternative could be whole grain toast with avocado and a smoothie made with fruit and plain yogurt.
At lunch, I often eat fast food like burgers or pizza, which are high in calories, fat, and sodium. To improve my diet, I could prepare meals at home using lean proteins like grilled chicken and add a side of vegetables or salad.
I do enjoy snacks like chips or cookies in the afternoon, but I realize they don’t offer much nutrition. A better option could be unsalted nuts, fruit, or low-fat yogurt.
Overall, by making small changes and choosing more nutritious alternatives, I can improve my energy levels and stay healthier in the long term.
For example, in my house we eat some unhealthy foods such as excess rice, many potatoes, many glasses of Coca Cola, this has many calories and sugar. The healthy alternative is to eat more natural juices and eat more fruit, and perhaps drink more water so you don't feel hungry.
I eat very regularly, now I try to eat healthier but sometimes I can't resist eating fast food.🙈
My goal is to improve my eating habits to keep my health stable.💚
I have some vegetables in my fridge but I didn't find any label in which it's said the nutritional components, but I assumed the have a lot of vitamins, in the other hand I checked some processed food like sour cream and sauces, they are full of calories and fats and really low in nutrients so these foods are a clear example of empty calories food, so a good alternative to these are fresh cheese or boiled and reduced milk to put in the meals as a condiment, making my own sauces with tomato, vengar, herbals and salt, is a good practice for healthy eating.
**Vocabulario sobre ingredientes saludables en inglés.**
Brain workout.
Check your fridge and examine the nutritional facts of foods you eat.
Write an analysis of the kinds of food you eat. For unhealthy foods, think of a healthier alternative.
Recently, I have in my fridge many fruits such as red apples, pears, oranges, peaches, bananas lemons, and passion fruit, I also have some vegetables like lettuce, Italian tomatoes, red pepper, carrots, avocados, broccoli, and col. Likewise, I like having healthy and nutritional drinks such as yogurt, fruit juices, electrolytic beverages, and much water. Finally, in the freezer, I have chicken meat, pork meat, and slices of beef. I also have a few unhealthy foods such as jam, mayonnaise, and some sweets. I think I could change the jam for jam without sugar, and the mayonnaise for other sauces with less content of salt and fat.
Well, in my fridge there are many products such as milk, lettuce, tortillas, yogurts, and beef for this week.
For example, the milk that I consume has 48 calories for every 100 milliliters.
I believe that I have healthy food in my fridge, but we can always improve our diet.
I have a problem of healthy so i decied change my diet habbits, therefore i consume the macros necesary for a good life style like good vegetables, good protein animal and no-animal, fat insatured like avocaido and oil of oliva, and carbohydrates like rise, oat, and qinua
**basics of the food:**
-Each food is full of nutrients.
-Neither nutrient is good in excess.
-All foods contain calories.
I went to my kitchen and found atun, this cotains 28 gr of protein and 111 calories.
You made me do some research on nutritional facts, later I did an analysis of the products I use to consume so these are the conclusions
Portions are the very first step, some cookies, crackers, and snacks usually come in a PACKET of 3 or 4. These take the nutritional fact of only one but I generally eat 3 or more like most of you, so the analysis of 1 is acceptable in the approach of calories, fats, carbs, sugars, and sodium but 2 or more you are out the limit supposed to eat daily so... and that’s why the blood test mentions high levels of many disease indicator
the point here is, as you enjoy these kinds of unhealthy stuff snacks, always share these stuff with your buddies, you will have fewer unhealthy habits and your friends probably be the same size as you as well.
The kind of food I eat contains a good amount of protein from animal source such as beef, fish, chicken and dairy products. I consume a large amount of vegetables and fruits as a source of carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins and minerals. Finally, I usually eat starchy foods, bread and desserts in small amounts just because they are delicious to share with friends and family, but not for my health.

My Diet
Ever since I was young, my parents have been concerned about ensuring that I have a well-balanced diet.
They provided a variety of foods and taught me good eating habits.
Now, I take personal responsibility for my diet. Here’s how I plan my meals:
- Breakfast: I focus on consuming fruits, oatmeal, eggs, and whole-grain bread.
- Lunch: I make sure to include a good balance of proteins, carbohydrates, and vegetables.
- Dinner: I keep my evening meal light, incorporating healthy fats like avocado, along with fruits or cereal.
I am for a balanced diet that includes a lot of fish such as tuna and tilapia, chicken breast, eggs, and grains.
I also make sure to incorporate a variety of fruits rich in vitamin C, such as green apples, bananas, pineapples, grapes, and papayas.
Additionally, I include cereals like oatmeal and whole-grain bread.
While I may not be an expert, I can say that I have good energy levels, remain free from any illnesses, and, when combined with regular exercise,
it’s truly amazing how it contributes to a healthy lifestyle
I always but food that contain the most protein than carbohydrates. For example, I buy greek yogurt, avocado, eggs, pig, rabbit and turkey. I also buy dried fruits and fruits like a banana, green grapes, kiwi and peach. I almost never eat bread, dairy or junk food, because I always get sick 😦

These are general estimates and may vary depending on the exact preparation and specific portions of each food. Also, note that these foods provide significant nutritional benefits beyond just calories, including vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients. If you want more precise and detailed information, I would recommend using online tools or food tracking apps that allow you to input exact quantities and cooking methods.
In my fridge, there are eggs, pears, apples, different kinds of vegetables, red meat, poultry, fish, and pork. In the cupboard, things aren't very healthy for the body, such as potato chips, Ramo products, loaf bread and different kinds of cookies. To replace the unhealthy cookies, I think that a good alternative can be to have typical sweets also known as homemade sweets, those can be. better alternative.
My groceries are double cream cheese, cornflour, and some mushrooms.
* The cheese per serving has 0g of carbs, 5g of protein, and 100 calories.
* The cornflour has 6g of protein and 361 calories.
