A few words
Two things…We burn calories daily, suppose you were in bed all day, you’d still burn a certain amount. This differs from person to person.
Basal metabolic rate
Exercise is not punishment for overeating…HOWEVER
Keep thinking like that if you’d like to develop a poor relationship with food. Thinking you have to ‘earn your food’ or ‘burn’ it off by doing loads of burpees or doing lots of running is a great way to begin! Cashew nuts, chia seeds, oily fish. Most would deem these ‘healthy’ foods. They’re also high in calories too…So enjoy ‘burning’ those off!
IF you’ve ate loads of chocolate over the last few days, it’s not the end of the world. You could eat SLIGHTLY less than normal over the next few days to balance things out.
OR you could eat as normal but increase your activity levels over the next few days.
It all comes down to
Energy balance
Second point…
I like eggs, whole eggs AND chocolate eggs. Isn’t it strange that I’ve come across more people who worry about eating whole eggs more than Easter eggs…
Hmmmm…Let that sink in.
