Do you know how much calories will you get for just eating 1 cup of ice cream (both low fat or fat free)? Or do you even know how much calories you need everyday?
I made a research yesterday about calories in icecream. And realized that counting calories in icecream helps make better food choices. It says there in one of the sources that a teen-age girl ages between 11 to years old need about 1845 calories. And aged between 15 to 18 years old will need 2110. Compare to a teen-age boy, they need about 2220 and 2755 respectively on their age. Wow, it makes sense when we know our calorie needs. Actually, it was just a ballpark figure to know your calorie needs. How will you really know how much you need? Well, it depends on how active you are. Athletes for example need more calories everyday since they work out and do training. While other people who are just sitting everyday and watching TV will definitely need only about 1500 to 2000 calories in average. Anyways, you can check this calorie calculator to check the number of calories you burn every activity. Then you will know how much you need to rack up.

"This is the correct
way to cook instant noodles. This is the way without harming our bodies/health."
Do you cook instant noodles in this procedure?
- Put noodles to pot with hot water
- Put the seasoning/powder
- Let it cook for three minutes and eat!
Ganun bah? Well, that’s the WRONG method then. Why? One article mentioned that by doing this, you actually boil the ingredients in the powder, and it will change the molecular structures causing it be toxic. The other thing also is that the noodles are coated with wax and it’ll take around four to five days for the body to excrete the wax after you have taken the noodles.
Here’s the correct procedure:
- Boil the noodles in a pot with water.
- Once the noodle is cooked, take out the noodles, and throw away the water, which contains wax.
- Boil another pot of water till boiling and put the noodles into the hot boiling water and then shut the fire.
- Only at this stage when the fire is off, and while the water is very hot, put the ingredient with the powder into the water, to make noodle soup.
- However, if you need dry noodles, take out the noodles n add the ingredient with the powder and toss it to get dry noodles.

1 tbsp oyster sauce
1/2 tsp patis
20 pc lumpia wrappers

1 pc siling labuyo, chopped
3 tbsp rice wine

1. Eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Skipping meals can set you up for
bingeing. Studies show that people who spread their food intake throughout the
day eat fewer calories.
3. Team up. Enlisting the help of a partner or friend can boost your motivation and help you stay on track.
4. Start writing. Keeping a food or exercise log not only helps chart your progress, but it's also a great way to spot minor slips in your routine before they become major problems.
5. Compliment yourself. Treat you as you treat those you love. Focus on your successes, not failures—and give yourself a pat on the back each day.
6. Get moving. Whether you walk, run, bike, or swim, aerobic exercise is key to weight loss success. Work up to doing at least 45 minutes, 5 or more days a week.
7. Be a little selfish. You need to make time for yourself if you want to achieve your goal.
8. Have two helpings. Filling your plate with two kinds of vegetables, not just one, ups your nutritional intake and leaves less room on your plate for fatty foods.
9. Take one bite at a time. "Mindful eating," which involves concentrating on taste and sensation to make each mouthful an event, maximizes your food satisfaction and minimizes the odds of overeating.
10. Lift weights. Resistance training builds muscles, which boost the number of calories that your body burns throughout the day—making weight loss easier. Aim for two or three workouts a week.
Reason to Lose Weight:
- Long life
- Be able to enjoy life and romp with all your kids in the future
- Keep your mind sharp
- Increase your energy level
- Protect your immunity
- Reduce risk of breast cancer, heart disease, stroke and other diseases
- Manage menopause
- Reduce stress
- Breathe easier
- Feel fabulous

How important is Health Nutrition?
Hindi ba talaga bago sa atin ang nutrisyon? Back in 400 B.C., Hippocrates said, "Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food." Today, good nutrition is more important than ever. Imagine in Unite States, 10 leading causes of death were --heart disease, cancer, stroke and diabetes--are directly related to way we eat; diet is also implicated in scores of other conditions. But while the wrong diet can be deadly, eating right is among the cornerstones of health.
Hindi importante kung anong ulam meron tayo... Good nutrition is the most important which also includes regular exercise, not smoking and drinking alcohol excessively, etc.
- The keys to good nutrition are balance, variety and moderation. To stay healthy, your body needs the right balance of carbohydrates, fats, and protein --the three main components of nutrition.
- Vitamins
- Minerals
