More than Calories In, Calories Out
“Calories in, calories out” is a common mantra in diet culture. People have been struggling to lose weight by applying this principle alone for years. Science shows there is more to it. A functional nutritionist understands this. Calorie quality matters.
Of course, 100 calories of donuts is the same as 100 calories of beans. No one can dispute that. However, beans will be much more filling and keep you satisfied longer. It delivers fiber, vitamins, minerals, and protein your body needs to thrive. Philip Rabito, MD, can help you better understand the difference between calories and how they affect your weight and overall health.
