    I LOVE cooking, meal prep and I feel so good preparing healthy, nutritious food but not everyone does. My friends that I adore, who struggle with their weight hardly know how to boil water. When I tell them about how I prepare meals for the week their eyes glaze over like a donut, which is usually what they have for breakfast.

    Calories are measured in a bomb calorimeter. It is not a reflection of how our bodies use or store energy. A calorie is not a calorie. Our bodies use different macronutrients differently for energy. Fat is a great nutrient for energy, while carbs tend to be good for storage. For example, when my diet was carb heavy, I had to go down to 1200 calories to lose weight. If I went to 1400 I would gain. Now I eat a low carb diet and eat roughly 2500 to 2700 calories per day. My body is using vs. storing energy differently. High fat, low carbs allows for more calories.

    What a helpful visualization of calorie density. I think I may have been overdoing the beans, edamame and tofu. I need to shift my focus to rice and potatoes. I already have a ton of veggies. The sushi bowl idea is killer! I already do burrito bowls a lot. Thanks, Chelse

    Thank you so much for taking the time to film this vlog. It's insane how those calories add up and seeing the two meal plans side by side is quite the eye opener! 😮 xx

    Fantastic well thought out video . Your an amazing communicator . I think it would be also helpful to talk about the fibre content of the unprocessed food that keeps you full and the unprocessed food doesn’t have much fibre at all . Ive only got 2 kilos to lose and Ive increased my quantities of vegetables , fruit and grains (a cup of oats for breakfast rather than 1/2 cup) and have significantly cut down on fats … 1 T walnuts rather than 2 every other day and 1/4 avocado every other day only and I’m shifting these last kilos. More volume …. Less fat and calories . It’s been a game changer for me

    Those meals look divine. But the consistency of tofu makes me gag. Do you have any alternatives for protein? I am guessing that's what the tofu functions as. I guess I could grill portobello mushrooms. Large meaty mushrooms are a favorite.

    I understand calorie density but finding it so hard to find a calorie deficit when my old slug-like metabolisms seems to require less than around 1200-1300 calories to even consider dropping weight, according to some fiddling with Chronometer. I have mobility issues and exercise is a sore point… literally… but geez!

    I agree with what you're saying on a general basis. However, your approach might come across a little too extreme. I don't think you need to cut out things like dried fruit, oils or peanut butter altogether. Just cutting DOWN the amount is enough and maybe more sustainable long term, in my opinion. I eat all those things on a daily basis, and I have to trouble keeping my weight. The majority of my food is low processed, low fat, and homemade, but I use oil for cooking, drizzle peanut or almond butter over my oatmeal and eat dried fruit for dessert. But like 1 tablespoon of nut butter or 1 tea spoon of oil per serving or 3 pieces of dried food. Heck, you can even eat pizza, chips and chocolate which I do, but maybe not every day and not in large portions. Eating like this you don't feel like missing out and you can stick to it more long term than when you cut out all these foods, maybe on top of already cutting out meat and dairy as a vegan. That can become pretty restrictive pretty fast. Just my two cents 😊
