1 PLATE HAS 400 CALORIES, THE OTHER HAS 275.

Can you guess which plate has the lower calories?

Maybe the plate with the smaller portion- The Pop Tarts?
❌Wrong❌

The plate on the left (two pumpkin pie Pop Tarts) holds a whopping 400 calories (70c, 14f, 4p) for the two pastries.

The plate on the right is 275 calories (30c, 5f, 33p) and more nutrient dense.

The biggest shock between these servings is that the plate on the right will fill you up with the density of food, while the plate on the left will leave you hungry and wanting more.

This visual can help people understand that while you *can* have the Pop Tarts by making it fit into your calories, it is not the smartest decision. You can see how easy it is to go over your calories with choices like the left plate.

The right plate (Baked chicken with seasoning, steamed green beans with salt, baked butternut squash with salt and pepper, and two servings of ketchup) will fill you up, satisfy your macros, and leave you room for a small treat and still be under the calories than if you ate the Pop Tarts.

What surprising realization have you had since tracking your food? 👇🏼

Happy Saturday! The weather has been great so I took advantage of it in my last workout. One of my favorite cardio moves is walking lunges with kettle bells. It’s cardio plus hypertrophy. Which means your legs and your lungs will be blasted!
