  I didn’t say “teach the kids to count calories”. I said “teach the kids to understand where the calories come from”. It needs to be a constructive conversation about, like you said, diversifying the food they eat and fuelling their bodies appropriately. Understanding things like when iced coffees have the calories of a cheeseburger.

  There’s certainly a lot of psychological factors that go into deciding whether a client can handle calorie counting, but refusing to provide this information as part of a nutrition class enables charlatans to take advantage of ignorance, leading down a path of repeated failure.

    I’ll repeat again, experts in the field don’t talk about calories with the people they take care of.

    Don’t eat more than you are actually hungry for, take the time to eat, drink water instead of all the fun crap, be active, that’s it, you might not become as skinny as you might feel pressured to be but not everyone has the metabolism for it, some people naturally have a higher or lower BMI, it’s just capitalism pressuring us into fitting unrealistic criterias.

      Okay but like… What if I’m so used to eating a lot that I can pack down 3k cals in one go?

        3k in one meal would be extremely surprising but if it’s the case then it’s a professional you should be talking with, not random people on the Internet.

        Dieticians now include a lot of psychological work in what they do as a lack of control over one’s eating habits is often related to external psychological issues, conditions where people don’t feel when they’re full are extremely rare.
