Counting calories is a bit more popular than it should be. It’s not a bad method, it’s just inefficient, and we will soon explain why. First of all, calories are just not the appropriate unit to describe if a food is healthy or not, or if it is, how? Calory, or calorie is only a unit of energy. Not less and not more. It certainly is useful, if you want to control the amount of food you eat during a day, but it doesn’t tell anything about the healthiness of the food you eat. If you still don’t believe us, just look at the pictures and examples we brought to you.

That one and one third frankfurter contains the same amount of energy, so the same calories as that full plate of baby carrots. I am sure you would feel hungry after eating a little bit more than 1 frankfurter, but you would feel full after that plate of carrots.
