Mindless Munching…

Mindless Munching… 🍪

Do you often find yourself saying, ‘it was just a bite’, or ‘it was just a biscuit’ or even perhaps not even registering that you ate something? If so, those seemingly innocent snacks could be the reason you’re struggling to shed that body fat.

In one day you may for example grab a cappuccino on the train (150 cals), have a couple of biscuits as you pass the kitchen at work (97 cals), pop a few mini sweets in the car (110 cals), finish off the 1 and a half fishfingers from your child’s leftovers (90 cals), maybe grab a crisp or two from your partner’s packet (158 cals), and have a squeeze or sauceor dressings on your meals (200 cals).

That’s 790 calories—calories you likely didn’t track or even remember. While the individual snacks / sauces etc may seem small, they add up quickly and can be the difference between losing fat and maintaining or even gaining weight. Mindless munching throughout the day can easily push you over your calorie target without you even realizing it.

Pay attention to these “hidden” calories and track them carefully. It might just be the key to finally shifting those stubborn pounds.

Remember – calories count! 🤗xx
