L’instagrameuse Lucy Mountain s’amuse à faire des petites comparaisons entre différents aliments, pour démonter quelques idées reçues qu’on a sur la nutrition. C’est bien foutu et ça permet de se rendre compte qu’on pense parfois faire des efforts intelligents alors qu’on est juste en train de s’engraisser comme des idiots. Ou alors, elle nous montre que ce qu’on croit être un petit écart est en fait un gros écart. Au moins maintenant on ne pourra pas dire qu’on ne savait pas.
1. Non, la plaque de chocolat gluten-free sans lait n'est pas moins calorique
Alors on peut se jeter sur la bonne vieille plaque de chocolat au lait. Enfin juste un peu, de temps en temps quoi.
2. Pour une même quantité, le gin tonic est deux fois moins calorique que le vin blanc
On vend toujours le vin comme notre meilleur ami, et pourtant. Un petit conseil quand même : l’alcool est rarement notre meilleur ami.
3. Les chips de légumes, c'est la fausse bonne idée
Nous qui pensions manger plus sain, on est bien baisés.

Salt and Vinegar Crisps vs Vegetable Crisps ?? ? Each of these bowls contain 1 bag (40g) of crisps. The bowl on the left are salt and vinegar, the bowl on the right are mixed root vegetable.? ? Although the difference in calories is pretty minuscule, you’d expect the vegetable crisps to be considerably less calories right? This is just another little reminder that often there’s not much difference between the product marketed as the ‘healthy alternative’ and the real thing. So go for the thing you actually WANT to eat ?? ? Although there are many different aspects that describe ‘healthy’ (yes - it IS subjective), such as salt content, micro-nutrient value and how that food makes them feel, calories play a fundamental part in weight management. This post isn’t to say 'TRACK EVERYTHANG, TRACK THAT DAMN CUCUMBER’, it’s more about looking at your diet within the context of a whole day - and eating the damn salt and vinegar crisps if that’s want you actually want.? ? I want this and all my comparison posts to give encourage freedom with your food choices, not restriction. When 80% of my diet within a day is full of adequate micros and macros, i will ALWAYS eat food I love purely for taste. Because life. Ygm. ??? ? (All crisps are vegetable crisps ?)? ? Which side are you guys going for?? ? ? *Crisps from Co-Op Irresistible range* - #theFFF #theFFFeed @thefffeed

4. La même tartine, mais pas la même quantité de beurre de cacahuètes
Bien sûr, c’est logique, mais c’est bien de s’en rappeler avant de tartiner. Parce que ça augmente très rapidement au compteur. C’est relou, c’est quand même vachement bon le beurre de cacahuètes.
5. Des amandes contre des bonbons, et une même quantité de calories
Ça ne veut pas dire que c’est mieux de manger des bonbons hein. Les oléagineux, c’est bon pour le corps, pas comme le sucre raffiné.

A handful of Almonds vs. A packet of Fruit Pastels ?? ? Both snacks have the same calories. Which one would you pick?? ? Occasionally I’m the left hand, but mostly I’m the right hand. (I know, shocking. A person who considers themselves into health and fitness eats sweets - and is openly talking about it on social media.) ???? ? You see, although I’m fully aware that a handful of almonds contains lots of wonderful nutrients that would keep me fuller for longer, some days (no matter whether I’m looking to gain, maintain or lose weight) I’ll choose to eat sweets or a chocolate bar as a snack ?? ? Why? Because when the majority of my diet has consisted of well-balanced food that’s full of micronutrients, I have no issue eating something thats less so just because I love the taste of it. This is just a personal choice. Cutting out things I love isn’t realistic for me so I always squeeze something sweet into my days (all whilst still sticking to my calorie/macro/micro targets.)? ? Many would choose the almonds for the nutritional value or the flavour - which is totally fine. Many would choose the almonds because even though they'd prefer Fruit Pastels, almonds would make them feel more ‘on track’ mentally - which again, is totally fine ?? ? I’m not glorifying sweets, or almonds for that matter. I’m glorifying knowing what’s in the food you’re eating, and make educated decisions based on your own values. And I value food that’s good for my body and good for my soul.? ? ‘Healthy' to me is exactly what I make it. And Fruit Pastels (in moderation) make me happy which I believe contributes largely to my overall health ?? ? #theFFF #theFFFeed @thefffeed

6. Les eaux aromatisées : l'erreur de débutant
En fait c’est du sucre, du sucre, et de l’eau.
7. Belvita ou McVitie's ? Pas le même combat, mais les mêmes calories.
On te donne l’impression de manger moins calorique, mais que nenni. QUE NENNI.
8. On peut se faire plaisir autrement
Tout dépend des objectifs qu’on veut atteindre.
9. Deux versions du porridge avec des fruits
Aucune des deux n’est mauvaise, mais elles apportent des choses différentes à notre petit corps. Et ça reste toujours mieux que les Chocapics.
10. Non, le chocolat noir n'est pas moins calorique
On le croyait, innocents que nous étions.

100g Milk Chocolate vs 100g 85% Dark Chocolate ? ? ? So it’s pretty unknown that dark chocolate actually has more calories than milk chocolate (and white chocolate for that matter.)? ? Dark is often given the label as the ‘healthy’ version of chocolate. And although calories aren’t the sole indicator of ‘healthy’, we just presume it has lower calories. So which one is best for weight-loss?? ? In most cases, Dark chocolate has less sugar, more fiber and more iron than milk. It’s basically more nutritious than milk chocolate.? ? Regardless, I will always go for milk for two reasons:? ? 1. I think Dark chocolate tastes like garden leaves.? ? 2. Chocolate isn’t something I’ll seek out when I’m looking to pack in those vitamins and minerals - especially in a diet that already consists of adequate fruit, vegetables and micronutrient-dense food ? I enjoy chocolate for it’s taste, not it’s nutritional value. My diet is inclusive of it always - no matter what my goal is at the time ?? ? For those of who genuinely love dark chocolate, keep doing you ?. However if you PREFER the taste of milk, but force yourself to eat dark because you've read it’s 'healthier', just have the milk chocolate and enjoy it ? In terms of weight-loss from a calorie perspective, it’s actually more beneficial and will raise happiness levels by 938% (unproven stat.)? ? Don’t eat things you don’t enjoy for the sake of it. Personal enjoyment is ‘healthy’ in my eyes ?? Which side are you guys?!? ? #theFFF #theFFFeed @thefffeed

On se couchera moins bêtes, et peut-être moins gras.
