🚫 Beware of Phantom Calories and Calorie Creep! 🚫
Did you know that some products labeled as “zero calories” may actually contain plenty of calories? 😱 It’s true!
Current US label guidelines allow manufacturers to list products as zero calories based on serving size, rather than overall package size. This sneaky loophole can lead to unintentional calorie consumption, a phenomenon we like to call “calorie creep.”
@kkayyfitness and I have experienced this firsthand, especially during times when calorie control is crucial, like during fitness competitions focused on body composition or body weight 💪🏼
Whether it’s cooking oil sprays, condiments, gums, or more, these phantom calories can add up quickly if you’re not careful.
So next time you’re reaching for that “zero calorie” product, take a closer look at the serving size and consider the bigger picture. Don’t let calorie creep sneak up on you!
🕵️♀️ Stay informed and stay mindful of what you’re putting into your body. Your health and fitness goals will thank you!
