The nutritionist gave advice on the correct calculation of calories

One of the main causes of excess weight is excessive calorie intake. It is important to find a balance that will allow you to lose weight while remaining full, nutritionist Galina Leonova said on Monday, August 1.

With age, the body's needs decrease, and physical activity decreases, so without adjusting the diet, weight can increase. In the comment RuNews24.ru The doctor noted that hidden calories are often found in prepared sauces and processed foods.

To calculate the daily allowance, you can use the Harris–Benedict formula or online calculators. According to the expert, calorie reduction remains the safest way to lose weight, unlike severe starvation. At the same time, it is important to maintain a feeling of fullness and choose high-quality products.

Leonova added that genetics can influence the tendency to gain weight, but a balanced diet, for example, according to the principles of the Mediterranean diet, and regular activity help to compensate for this factor.
