Foods to avoid

Ultra-processed foods (fast food, sweets, fizzy drinks) are high in calories, low in protein and fibre — they don't satisfy hunger and spike blood sugar. Check the macronutrient calculator to see how much protein you need daily.

Why Food Quality Matters Beyond Calories

Two diets with identical calories can produce dramatically different health outcomes depending on food quality. Whole foods provide micronutrients, fiber and phytochemicals that support metabolic health, gut microbiome diversity and long-term disease prevention — none of which is captured by calorie counting alone.

Foods to Limit

Ultra-processed foods, sugary drinks, refined grains and trans fats are consistently linked to increased obesity, metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease risk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are carbohydrates bad for weight loss?No. The type and amount matter more than the macro itself. Whole grains, legumes and vegetables are healthy; refined sugars and white flour add calories with minimal nutrition.
Is intermittent fasting effective?Evidence suggests it's about as effective as continuous calorie restriction for weight loss — it works mainly by reducing total intake, not through a unique metabolic mechanism.
How important is meal timing?For most people, total daily intake matters far more than when you eat. Meal timing becomes more relevant for athletes optimizing performance and recovery.
