Are healthy foods making you fat? Why am i fat even though i eat halthy? This is such a common question i get asked. I have noticed a trend among the people i speak to who are trying to lose bodyfat: The misconception that eating for health and body composition are the same thing. Unfortunately, they are mutually exclusive of one another and kcal intake must be considered above all else if the desired outcome is fat loss. Certain whole foods, whilst very healthy and packed full of nutrients, are extremely calorific and if consumed too frequently will make it difficult to lose bodyfat.
