RARE PHOTOS: What is a calorie deficit and how can it help you lose weight - The Real Truth

Calories are a way to measure the energy content in food. Understanding calories and your body's needs can help you manage your health and weight.

Calorie counting is a good way to keep track of what you are eating and is an effective weight loss tool if done right. Calorie counting is slightly different from Slimming World, Weight Watchers (now known as WW), and other diet plans, which use points systems for tracking certain foods.

It can be hard to know exactly how much food your body needs. Calorie counting helps you set a specific goal which works for your lifestyle and track your food in that way.
