Why eating two burgers could be healthier than adding a side of fries, according to a nutritionist | London Evening Standard
Instead of adding fries to that order, you might want to consider a second burger.
This is an old article, but I've just seen this story, so sharing it.
Wikipedia:
In many countries, a person can claim to be a nutritionist even without any training, education, or professional license, in contrast to a dietitian, who has a university degree, professional license, and certification for professional practice.
Not sure why they called her a “nutritionist” in the title. They used the more important job title within the article:
Registered dietitian and nutritionist Emily Field encourages her clients to think about that word before a meal, rather than labeling certain foods "bad" or "good."
To do this, she encourages people to think about three components of a food — fat, carbohydrates, and proteins. Protein fuels your muscles and keeps you feeling full, carbohydrates provide energy, and fat helps us absorb vitamins and minerals while keeping cells healthy. Keeping those nutrients roughly even means you'll have fewer cravings, less desire to binge, and more control when you do eat, Field told Business Insider. So if a meal has a good balance of those three things, it's an okay choice.
I've been on this bandwagon for awhile now. Burrito with a side of burrito? Yes please! Burger with a side of burger. Bring it on!
Interesting, so the idea is to balance your macros to stabilize insulin production and energy levels.
I thought this was obvious, potatoes are mostly empty calories.
