What is the most important rule to follow for a healthy diet?
In terms of what foods you should and should not eat, remember that calories matter more than specific foods. Adequate macro- and micro-nutrition are indeed part of a healthy diet, but appropriate caloric intake is by far the most important rule regardless of the source and whether or not the food is “natural”, “whole”, “clean”, or “dirty”.
Repeated studies have shown that having excess body fat, type 2 diabetes and weight gain are resultant from eating and storing more calories than one burn. Eating too many of any form of calories, whether from whole foods or not, will cause these problems. A Newcastle University team has recently discovered (2011) that Type 2 diabetes can actually be reversed by an extremely low-calorie diet alone.
In terms of the hormonal response to a single meal, a fast-food meal has been shown to elicit a similar response to an equivalent organic one.
How do I estimate the calories I'm eating?
Now that you know all about macronutrients/caloric needs of the body, a question that's often asked is:
“I don't make my food, how do I calculate it?”
The reasons for this range from “I live at home/college/with a SO who is the cook” to “I live in hotels for work/am a food critic”. Regardless, learning to estimate how much you're eating is a skill everyone should have.
Use a Calorie Counter's “Meal” function. Many sites from the resources section have pre-entered estimates from other users already in their respective databases. Use this until you feel comfortable with the foods you know. Familiarity with sizes/numbers is the best way to learn how to estimate what you're eating.
Use “rule of thumb” charts. SparkPeople has the most well-known of these charts, but they are everywhere on the internet. The same basic concept is here as with using an actual calculator, but it doesn't require as much repetition to learn. You can even carry cheat sheets with you, or just leave them at work.
Use “real-life” objects as portion size estimators. It's much easier to estimate sizes if you have something to relate it to that you deal with every day. Whether that be an unrelated set of objects that you can visualize, or a set of objects you deal with every day, knowing that the meal the waiter just dropped in front of you is roughly 2 cups of potato and a pound of steak makes it much easier to either use your online calorie counter, or your rule of thumb.
