Competitons & the truth behind Calories

Sunday 12th October

So a little late on this!

I visited my first ever figure competition over the weekend, and what an experience it was! Reminded me a little of Cheerleading competitions especially with all the fake tan & make up- I LOVED it!

                                                                                    

There were some amazing competitors there in great shape! After speaking to a few people that compete, so much dedication goes into competing not just a simple T- Walk. Especially diet! 

Forget calories and think Marco nutrients!
Counting calories, is an easy way to trick yourself into thinking you are eating healthy and losing weight. However this could be doing more harm than good...

 Imagine your body as a car, and food as the petrol - taking a lower intake of calories is a quick fix to loose weight, and over time you will find you are taking in less that you are putting out. 

Also Calories disregard what types of nutrients you are taking in. There are three major macro nutrients that the human body needs in order to function properly; Carbohydrates, Protein and Fats..... YES FATS!

I have found a great Marco Calculator which can be found below, which will advise how much of each we should eat:
