If you are looking to lose weight, one of the biggest factors you will have to consider is the nutritional content of the food you consume. It does not mean you have to sit there counting calories; weight loss should not be that boring. However, you should have a rough idea of your daily intake.
Although, no article can give you a list of every single food item, in this article, I will give you the calories found in the food you eat regularly. You will then realise how easy it is to lose weight, by seeing how many calories you need to lose a single pound - you then just build on that.
Chicken breast fillet 150g - 170 (calories)
Lamb chop 30g - 70
Pork chop 30g - 75
Jacket potato 180g - 245
Broccoli, boiled 30g - 7
Celery, raw 40g - 2
Mushrooms, fried 30g - 45
Brown bread, slice - 75
Digestive biscuit - 75
Jam doughnut - 140
Coffee, 250ml, with milk - 18
Coke 330ml - 139
Orange juice 250ml - 110
Whole milk 30ml - 20
Big Mac - 495
Fries, 100g - 250
Pizza slice, 70g - 180
So, there you have a list of the in most of the everyday food we eat. Remember, 1 pound of weight equals 3,500 calories. This may seem a high number, but if you look on the list, you will see that a Big Mac alone contains 495 calories, so, it is the equivalent of about 7 Big Macs. Of course, losing weight is not just about calories - weight loss is about an all-round plan.
