Do you count or consider the calorie value while taking any food?

yup i watch my calorie intake, for most bodybuilders theres certain amount of calorie we need to consume depending on weigth and rate of metabolism, so we always mind the calorie value in choosing menu or any food, not only calorie but also with carbs and fats, excess nutrients needed by our body will converted to fats and we don't want to happen...

fortunately the menu in many eating places do not mention calorie yet, so we can eat in peace, without thinking about calories. I dont usually pay attention to calories, unless the food is extremely rich or extremely healthy, then i will check to see how the calories as compared to other food. One local dish, laksa, is a noodle dish extremely rich and does not really fill the stomach. My colleague checks on the calories and read some articles about it. It seems that you need to cycle 11 hours just to digest the calories from eating the noodle. The problem is that it does not even make you feel full.

i always care for what i eat and what i not, i always keep an eye on the calories is available in the food, though it is prepared by me or i buy from outside.

Yes I have a habit of reading the information about a specific product i'm going to buy. Because there are some substances or ingredient that is really bad for our health and we are not aware of that. Sometimes they just look on the brand. i know brand products has greatly impact to the consumer but consumer must be always careful. Weather changes, and products changes too. Now our food we eat sometimes they have more preservatives than before that's why people don't live long nowadays.

I guess most people who want to lose weight may count and consider the calorie value while taking some foods carefully. For me, I tend to pay no attention to the calorie because I am so thin and want to gain weight. Apart from taking foods, If I spend some extra time on caring for how much calories they are putting into their mouths, I think I will waste more calorie, which is useless for me obviously. Everyday, I have some spare time, what I want is to eat as more as foods.

Not quiet. I think you only have to worry about eating good meals in good portions and you're ok, you don't need to know the calories. Following a good diet and doing excercise is enough

If I buy it myself I do.But,if it is food given to us or served to us at someone else's home,that I don't.I am just grateful for what we got.

nope i dont. not because im not healt conscious but it takes the fun in eating. :)

I eat out very rarely, once in a blue moon so i don`t have much worries about putting on weight which has been constant for a long time. Moreover i do not take sugar but add Sugar Free Natural in my tea, coffee.Also i am not fond of sweets and very rarely eat any sweet or chocs, so i don`t have to worry about counting calories.

No I don't. I want to gain weight that is why I don't care for how much calories I am putting into my mouth. I eat almost what is served at McDonalds. Though I pay attention of what foods are harmful to the body.

I have gotten into the habit of reading the ingredients and the nutrition facts on everything I buy. I check for calories, total fat contents and sodium. So many items have an unbelievable amount of sodium its crazy and its not good for you. Soups and frozen foods have a lot of sodium. So yes I check everything and pick the healthier foods.

I always read the labels of everything I buy. I count the calories and make sure the fat, fiber, and sodium contents are okay. I keep track of how many calories I eat each day and find that I won't eat extra snacks because I don't want to have to write it down. I am disabled and use my arms a lot and the less I weigh the easier it is to get around. Also I don't have the money to buy a new wardrobe if I gain weight. I don't eat out a lot anymore but I wish more reasturants would put calories counts on their menus.

till today i have never counted my calories and even in future i wont its for a simple reason to be fit there no need to watch on what you just watch on how much you burn when you burn more calories there is no need to have a check on it am a soccer player i don't count on what i eat still i have a fit body ...

I have lost 60lbs since February. I never once counted calories. I did not buy sugar free or things that were diet or had zero calories. I went down 4 pant sizes. All I did was watch HOW much I ate in one sitting and of course the one thing everyone does not want to do exercise. My exercise consisted of sit ups 3 times and week and walking.

here in the province where i live it is manditory that companies list the nutritional contents that the food contains and i usually do read it. i often take it into consideration but i am not a very good eater and often just dont eat because i am not hungry so i dont pay as much attention to it as i probably should.

Hi Borhan, Yes i am so conscious with my diet now since i am gaining so much weight lately that's why i am checking and counting on my calorie intake and or food calorie value.

I don't really count calories but I do consider what I take. For example, I wouldn't eat a fried candy bar because that's just loaded with calories and it's like a heart attack in bar form. I try and pace myself with junk food and when I feel like I'm taking too much sugar, I refrain from it.

I dont count the calories but I more or less know what food I should take to maintain good health and to check my weight. It comes with practice.
