The Difference Between Carbs and Calories
Calories are a measurement of energy a food provides. The proteins, fats, and carbohydrates in food contribute to the number of calories the food provides.
Carbohydrate foods are made up of starches, fibre, and sugars and contain four calories per gram. Consuming a lot of refined carbohydrates like white rice and bread can result in excess calorie intake. If you count carbohydrates, ensure you eat enough fruits, vegetables and whole grains to get essential vitamins and minerals.

Fat, protein and sugar
- Fat. A gram of fat provides nine calories. Foods high in fat can increase caloric intake and help you feel full and satiated. Eating a small amount of fatty food may make you feel satisfied sooner and help you eat less overall.
- Protein. One gram of protein provides four calories. Proteins include animal proteins, plant-based proteins and legumes. Protein powers your muscles and contributes to healthy organs, hair and blood.
- Sugar is a type of carbohydrate. Foods such as fruits and dairy products contain natural sugars that provide energy. Excess sugar consumption is linked to health issues.

Pros and cons of counting calories
To lose weight you should burn more calories than you consume. You can burn more calories through exercise or increased daily activity or by consuming fewer calories each day.
- Calorie counting helps you monitor how much food you're consuming.
- But not all calorie counters and apps are accurate. For some people, calorie counting could lead to disordered eating.
- There's also a risk of nutritional deficiencies if you don't take a holistic view of your calorie intake.

Pros and cons of counting carbs
Following a low-carb diet can be helpful for people to monitor their carb intake such as people with diabetes.
- It is relatively easy to track carb intake since nutrition labels clearly list carb counts.
- However counting carbs may lead to overconsumption of foods that don't contain carbs, but are high in calories or other macronutrients.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
