5 links to calorie-conscious fitness

August
Darren Rowse from Problogger has started a new group writing project and this week’s topic is list-writing. Regular readers of this blog know that, just like Darren, I love lists too. In most of my posts I try to include an action item list at the end or a list of additional resources. The reasons I feel lists are useful are quite similar to those in this list from Darren.
If you are here via ProBlogger, I would like to welcome you to Fitness Mantra, a health and fitness blog I started about 3 months back. The goal of Fitness Mantra is encapsulated in the byline itself: Make fitness your way of life. No fad-diets, no food-group-shunning; simply an educated, simple way to include better foods in our diets and understand how our body works with those foods.
Over the course of these 3 months, I have written many articles particularly related to calories and why understanding our body’s specific needs, and tailoring our intake based on that, is of utmost importance. In this post I simply want to highlight those specific posts with a brief description of what the post is about (reading these in the given order would yield the most benefit). Regular readers, even if you have read these articles before, I recommend reading them again if only for reinforcement of the message they convey together.
5 links to calorie-conscious fitness:
- What is a calorie? The calorie: defined and demystified.
- The Golden Rule of Fitness Mantra: The simple equation of input and output.
- What exactly are you eating? How many calories are in that? Easy ways to find out.
- It’s the total calories that count Gives a list (oh yes, I do love lists) of steps to take to begin your own calorie regimen.
- Finally, an understanding of Calorific Payload (I just might have invented that term!) and why the calories in some foods are nothing more than just “empty” calories.
