In Episode 148 of the Real World Nutrition Podcast, Shelley tackles the myth that all calories are created equal. This common misconception suggests that the source of calories doesn’t matter – 200 calories from candy is the same as 200 calories from vegetables. Shelley explains why this is not the case, emphasizing that the quality of calories significantly impacts overall health.
She highlights the importance of nutrient-dense foods that provide essential vitamins, minerals, fiber, and other beneficial compounds. Shelley discusses how different foods affect satiety and metabolic responses, noting that foods high in fiber and protein help keep you fuller longer and provide steady energy. She offers practical tips for choosing quality calories, such as prioritizing whole foods, reading nutrition labels, and balancing meals with vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains.
Shelley also shares some delicious, nutrient-dense recipes to help listeners make healthier choices. Tune in to Episode 148 to understand why the quality of calories matters and how to make better dietary choices for lasting health benefits.
