Making sure you get the right type of calorieThe British Nutrition Foundation is launching a concept called the \"qualitycalorie\", to make people think more about the types of foods they eat.While most adults consume more than they need, simply counting calories andcutting down is not enough, it says.It wants people to look at nutritional values to select the best calories.Public Health England said excess calories were the root cause of obesity andtackling the issue was a priority.▪ Calculate how many calories you need▪ Can you lose weight without counting calories?▪ 200-400 calories recipesCalories give people energy - women need about 2,000 a day and men 2,500.Public Health England suggests:▪ 400 at breakfast▪ 600 at lunch▪ 600 at dinner▪ leaving room for a couple of healthy drinks and snacksFood packaging will tell you how many calories (kcal) the contents have - butworking out the healthiest choice can be trickier.▪ A 30g handful of nuts contains about 174kcal, similar to a couple of chocolate digestives, but the British Nutrition Foundation (BNF) says nuts are quality calories, making them a good snack, while the biscuits are not▪ An avocado contains lots of good nutrients even though it has more calorific value than many other fresh fruits and vegetables, making its calories \"quality\" too▪ A low calorie beer is not nutritious Page 2 of 8

High v lowHigh-calorie foods are often less healthy but not always. And those sold as low-calorie may not be the healthiest.Low-calorie means:▪ 40 calories or less per serving if it is a food▪ 20kcal per 100ml if it is a drink'Zero' caloriesManufacturers are allowed to say their food is calorie-free if a serving hasfewer than five calories - but these still count.▪ A can of diet \"zero\" fizzy drink contains about 10kcal - the same as a small (30g) carrot. The carrot has the quality calories, while the fizzy drink doesn'tEmpty caloriesExperts often refer to alcohol - but any food or drink high in sugar but low innutritional value can be said to have empty calories.▪ A lollipop can contain about 45kcal, only slightly more than an apple - but these calories are empty, while the ones from an apple are qualityHidden caloriesWhen people say hidden calories, they mean foods or drinks higher in caloriesthan most people might expect.▪ A 125g pot of low-fat fruit yogurt can contain more than 100kcals - more than a chocolate-covered digestive biscuit. A plain yogurt with a few berries or a sprinkle of low-sugar granola would be a better quality calorie choice, says the BNF Page 3 of 8

Dining out caloriesAbout a quarter of calories now come from food and drink consumed outsideof the home, according to government research.Increasingly, cafes, coffee shops and restaurants are making calorie informationmore visible. But it can still be difficult to keep track, especially if you add extraingredients and flavours to your purchase.▪ A regular latte coffee (made with semi-skimmed milk) contains about 78kcal. Add some vanilla syrup, and you'll have more than doubled it to about 175kcal without gaining any quality caloriesGetting it rightAccording to Public Health England, a healthy diet should include:▪ lots of fruit and vegetables▪ some starchy foods such as wholegrain bread, pasta and rice▪ some protein from meat, fish, dairy or pulses▪ a bit of fatThings to cut down on are:▪ sugary fizzy drinks▪ alcoholic drinks▪ sugary breakfast cereals▪ cakes▪ biscuits▪ pastriesA body mass index calculator can help you judge if you are a healthy weight ornot.If you do need to lose weight, NHS Choices says aim to lose about 0.5-1kg (1-2lb) a week by consuming about 500-600kcal fewer a day than you need.

Dr Alison Tedstone, chief nutritionist at PHE, said: \"We clearly need to improvethe nation's diet but excess calories are the root cause of obesity - this is whywe are working with the food industry to reduce sugar and calories in everydayfoods.\"Dr Frankie Phillips, from the British Dietetics Association, said: \"If you are eatingtoo many calories, then you need to be cutting down but also making sure theones you are consuming count for more in terms of nutrition. It's about gettingvalue for your calories.\"Focusing on just one nutrient, like cutting down on only fat or sugar orcalories, runs the risk of missing out on crucial nutrients.\"https://www.bbc.com/news/health-45549259 Page 5 of 8

Week 2 Title: Making sure you get the right type of calorie Author: Michelle Roberts Source: https://www.bbc.com/news/health-45549259 Summary Calories give us an energy, women need about 2,000 kcal a day and menneed about 2,500 kcal a day. High-calorie foods are often less healthy. If we seea food product say calorie-free, but in facts is maybe it serving fewer than fivecalories it’s no zero at all but it still count and any food or drink high in sugarbut low in nutritional value can be said to have empty calories. Finally, if weneed to lose weight, we have to consume about 500-600 kcal a day. My reaction/reflection I think this topic is not difficult for me because there are a lot of words arecommon to see in daily life. And I understand it completely. This topic helps me know about how to think more about the types of foodswe eat, calculate the calories, and give me a knowledge about nutrition in manytypes of foods.New words learned Page 6 of 8
