Why eating two burgers could be healthier than adding a side of fries, according to a nutritionist

in n out burger
  • Nutritionist and registered dietitian Emily Field takes an unconventional approach to eating healthy.
  • She encourages clients to think about macronutrients when they choose a meal.
  • Balancing fat, carbohydrates, and protein can help curb cravings and keep energy levels steady throughout the day.
Instead of adding fries to that order, you might want to consider a second burger.
While conventional wisdom might tell you that eating a second anything is a bad choice from a nutritional perspective, there's something more important to consider: balance.
Registered dietitian and nutritionist Emily Field encourages her clients to think about that word before a meal, rather than labeling certain foods "bad" or "good."
To do this, she encourages people to think about three components of a food - fat, carbohydrates, and proteins. Protein fuels your muscles and keeps you feeling full, carbohydrates provide energy, and fat helps us absorb vitamins and minerals while keeping cells healthy. Keeping those nutrients roughly even means you'll have fewer cravings, less desire to binge, and more control when you do eat, Field told Business Insider. So if a meal has a good balance of those three things, it's an okay choice.
"I want people to be able to approach any food, any situation, and know that they can still make a responsible choice for their body," she said. healthy food eating salad egg tomato vegetables

How much protein do you really need for muscle growth?

Protein is probably the most important part of diet for bodybuilders. Yeah vegetables and carbohydrates, and “ healthy ” fats are also important but it’s protein that can decide whether you build big muscles or stay small forever. But how much protein should you be taking? Most Bro Bodybuilders don’t worry about this, they just eat as much protein as they can get their hands on, while drinking 5 protein shakes per day. It may work for them because protein will a) fill you up more than any other macro – making it difficult to overeat, and b) protein raises your metabolism more than any other macro – due to it being the most difficult for the body to break down.

That’s two thirds of your daily intake of food in the form of carbohydrates. Why, then, is there such a backlash against this essential macronutrient when it comes to weight loss? The answer comes down to the way the body deals with carbohydrates.In an ideal world, an individual will consume enough carbohydrate needed for their energy output, some storage and a healthy amount of fat, without being overweight. However, eat more carbohydrate than the body can use (as glucose in the blood stream) or store (as glycogen in the liver and muscle) and it gets converted into fat for long-term storage. In contrast, eat less carbs and your body turns to your pre-existing fat storage for energy. Hence why diets like The Atkins, Dukan, Keto and South Beach diet all rely on the principle of c...
