We all love mindless eating, right? We all want to live in a world where it doesn't matter how many calories are in our plate, but the ugly truth is that most of us have to count calories and care about them. Otherwise, we would inflate like big balloons and we certainly don't want that.
Well, that said, I found a great site to figure out how many calories lies beneath a tablespoon of flaxseeds or one breadstick in here: http://www.fatsecret.com/calories-nutrition/
Whenever I search for calorie contents, measures are ounces, grams, ml, fl. oz., etc. That is absolutely insane, unless you are carrying a scale in your purse with you everywhere for the rest of your life. I want to know the calories in portions!!! I don't want to make a whole research to find out how many grams of beans are in one cup and then convert it to calories. I don't have the time, I don't have the energy, and I certainly don't want my life to be consumed by the losing weight matter.
Another way to find out calories in portions is My Fitness Pal (http://www.myfitnesspal.com/). You can find in online or as an Android app. I use both.
The most tricky thing is to estimate the calories in restaurant plates. In my honeymoon, I went out for a month and had almost every imaginable East European dish that was available for a tourist. No wonder how I ended up with almost 20 pounds more! The point is that, if you cannot pronounce the name of something, how the heck are you going to figure out how many calories it has???
One solution might be just go for salads during all of the trip. But that sounds like a punishment to me.
I mean, there must be something in between mindless munching and healthy eating, right?
OK. I will try to balance my food intake on my next trip by combining salads with little amounts of exotic plates. I guess in this matter the size counts. I have read that everything is about portions. Again, I'll do my research about portions and post it in here. Lets hope I wont come back from my trip with 20 extra pounds.
