Thinking calories are meaningless
There are a few myths about calories that people believe. When it comes to eating healthy, DeFazio says that one mistake people make is not knowing how many calories they need in a day and how many calories are in the foods they eat.
"Use a calorie app and measure portions to get an idea of what 100 calories of pasta or rice looks like," DeFazio said. Portion control is essential for maintaining a healthy weight, even if what you are eating is healthier than a bag of chips.
Ultimately, it's important to focus on the quality and quantity of what you're eating. Being more mindful of your food can help you make better decisions and turn healthy eating into a habit, not a chore.
