Trying to figure out how to “have your cake and eat it too?” Find out your Caloric needs, and then divide those Calories among your meals, saving a little for a daily treat. Dietitians call these “discretionary Calories”- fun Calories that can be used for items we typically think of as unhealthy, thanks to the majority of our diets being exceptionally healthy. On a 1,500 to 2,000 Calorie diet (the amount necessary for the average adult to meet and maintain a healthy weight), discretionary Calories can healthfully fall in the range of 300-500 Calories. Just make sure the rest of your diet is exceptional: lots of vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats!
