Calorie confusion
Research published in today’s Sun may come as good news to dieters – food could have 20 per cent fewer calories than shown on product labels.
The research claims that calorie counts on labels do not factor in the energy needed to chew food, and also don’t take into account the effects of the cooking process. Nutritionist Dr Livesy believes calorie counts on proteins should be cut by 20% and those in fats should be cut by 3%.
Maybe we shouldn’t feel quite as guilty about those pastries we ate for breakfast…
