Nutritional principles  Calorie Care’s recipes and food plans have been researched and prepared by our nutritionist team led by Lisa John, our Chief Nutritionist and one of India’s leading nutritionists. Calorie Care’s meals provide a balanced, nutritious diet that aids weight management and provides long term health banefits. Our food plans are based on the following widely researched principles of modern nutritional science: Nutritional balance: Each major meal is designed to have a carbohydrate-protein balance, with fat content being minimized. Our food plans are designed to provide 15-30% of daily calories from protein, less than 20% of daily calories from fat and the balance calories from carbohydrates. Calorie control: All our meals are calorie-counted so that you don’t ingest excess calories and accumulate body fat. Minimal consumption of saturated fats and cholesterol rich foods: To prevent long-term cardiac problems. Limited consumption of refined carbohydrates (table sugar, maida, white bread etc.): To prevent wide fluctuations in blood sugar. High fibre intake: For the multiple health benefits of consuming both soluble and insoluble fibre. Multiple meals: Calorie consumption is spread across multiple meals – three main meals and three snacks – so that you’re never bloated and never starved. Keeps you energetic throughout the day. Light dinners: Prevents fat accumulation at night. Particularly important for weight loss. In addition to ensuring our meals adhere to the principles listed above, our nutritionists will strongly encourage you to follow a few additional healthy practices: Walk/exercise daily: 20-30 min brisk walk every day if the body gets no other exercise. Drink lots of water: 2-3 litres per day. We do not use nor do we recommend any artificial nutritional supplements, slimming powders or other fat loss gadgets. We trust in nature and provide natural, cooked food without any preservatives.
