Graeme Tomlinson aime bien les régimes, mais Graeme Tomlinson aime bien les infographies qui nous éclairent un peu plus sur le niveau de calories de tout ce qu'on mange quotidiennement. En conjuguant ces deux formidables passions il nous livre quelques conseils diététiques. Un compte à suivre diététiquement ici.

Les pâtes tristes achetées préparées vs. les pâtes joyeuses cuisinées maison

Aside from humanising the emotional state of pasta bakes, this comparison does contain a few nutritionally poignant points (and my recipe). - - Firstly, the volume of food in each will be similar (my recipe image contains 2 portions), the caloric value of both is also quite similar and the protein…

TOI : "Boire deux litres d'eau par jour c'est trop difficile"

Mais aussi toi :

We require hydration to remain alive. We also require adequate hydration to optimise our functions. You will have heard many, many times that you should be drinking at least 2 litres of water per day. This is purely a guide to remain hydrated. - - To claim that staying hydrated is a struggle is a…

Ce qui est est soi-disant "bon pour la santé" vs. les trucs oubliés

Given that their product is named ‘vitamin water’, one would assume that the main benefit of drinking it would be; hydration and consumption of vitamins. We know that hydration and vitamins are two things beneficial to us, so you can foresee the attraction towards such a drink. It’s a drink that…

Instagram vs. realité

Every health & fitness account you follow on Instagram is probably an action you’ve taken to support your knowledge and serve as inspiration to your goal. Maybe even improve your self esteem. - - The thing is, social media has become the primary measuring tool of ourselves. We are comparing our…

Les calories des barres chocolatées

Tag a chocolate lover, hit save and keep you and your friends informed on the calorie content of this bunch of well known bars. - - People eat chocolate. They always will. Why? Because it’s tasty AF. Is it an optimal food? Well, in this refined, processed form, no. But that doesn’t mean it should…

"Une calorie n'est pas une calorie"

C'est le genre de truc qu'on essaie de nous faire croire pour créer la confusion mais une calorie est toujours une calorie même si l'aliment n'est pas le même.

We really do rip people off in the fitness industry, don’t we. We take the simplest and most universally approved metric of consumable energy and we still manage to f*ck it up for everyone. - - A calorie is a unit used to measure the energy value of food. For anyone looking to alter body shape,…

"Juste un verre de vin le soir"

Ce qui équivaut sur un mois à 5250 calories soit 18 cheeseburger de chez Macdo ou 26 Kit Kat.

Wine is not bad. It can be enjoyed as part of a fulfilling, healthy diet. In fact, a glass of wine each day can possibly fit the same statement. - - But here’s the thing. For fat loss, I always advise a gradual and sustainable calorie deficit - usually 10-15% from maintenance. For example if 2500…

Pizza à emporter vs. pizza maison

A domino’s (or takeaway) pizza isn’t bad in isolation. In fact, it is pretty tasty. But if consumed regularly and habitually, chances are they will impact body composition. This is down to intake of significantly more energy than you need over time. 100 extra calories will have a minimal effect,…

Les calories des différents fromages

Tag a cheese lover, hit save and stay informed on the basic calorie properties of these tasty cheeses 🧀. - - Most people (if their tolerances allow) like consuming cheese, whether it’s on its own or as an accompaniment to a meal. So that said, it absolutely should be consumed. Cheese isn’t good or…

Les calories des différents biscuits

Tag a biscuit lover and keep them informed on the basic calorie values of this bunch of tasty treats🍪. - - There are definitely more nutritious snacking options than this assortment of biscuits. But there’s a reason you’ve heard of all of these... That reason is simply that people enjoy eating…

"Juste un petit biscuit au travail"

Ce qui équivaut par mois à 10 Big Mac ou 10 bouteilles de vin blanc.

Surely a couple of biscuits a day won’t make me fat or impact progress?” Well, not overnight. But (as you can see), it’s all dependent on the bigger picture... Days turn into weeks and weeks turn into months. Things snowball. - - Do biscuits ruin your calorie deficit or create a calorie surplus?…

Les fruits les plus faibles en sucres

All fresh fruit is good. We all know this. Fruit with a high sugar content is also good in the sense that it will provide us with nutrients, energy and hydration. However (not to put a downer on it), fruit still contains calories - some higher, some lower just like any food. Food is Food after all.…

Les calories des différentes glaces

Tag an ice cream lover and keep them informed on their favourite scoop (or 3). - - People will eat ice cream because it tastes bloody good. Rather than fighting this reality, consuming it in awareness of its calorie/sugar value is a much better idea. - - It is worth pointing out that the bottom row…

Graeme Tomlinson (@thefitnesschef_)

Les calories des différents burgers

Tag a burger lover to keep them informed each time they fancy one of these 🍔. - - I’m not promoting any of these burgers as a healthy choice, instead they are ‘a’ choice. The simple facts are that people will eat these burgers because they enjoy them. Therefore, isn’t it better to have an idea what…

Les calories des différentes viennoiseries

Pastries 🥐. It is worth pointing out that these are not entirely optimal for your health. Generally they are calorie/sugar dense and probably contain refined/preservative derived ingredients. That said, what would life be without a cinnamon swirl? - - This lot above, just like any food, can have a…
