Do you also wish to eat “Gujiya” on Holi but are afraid that it will affect your fat loss journey, or maybe it will take you to that stage from where you started losing fat?
“Modern problems need a modern solution!” you must have heard this passage, but this is the time to execute it.
Before comprehending the logic of Gujiya or any of your favoured food, let’s understand how fat loss occurs.
Everything is based on numbers, consider a guy who has a bodyweight of 90 kgs, consuming 2500 calories and burning less than 1000 calories, he will definitely weigh because his input vs output numbers are not matching, so this is really important to understand if that guy has to lose weight, he has to keep his output numbers greater than input, and at the same time if somebody wants to gain weight, he has to keep his input numbers greater than output.
The logic behind Gujiya and weight loss.
We hope you got an idea of how fat loss happens and now coming to Gujiya; if you are on a fat loss journey maintaining 1700 daily calories input and 2000 calories output and want to eat Gujiya, you just have to keep maintaining those daily numbers. A normal-sized Gujiya contains 200-300 calories (depends on dry fruits, sugar coating, and other things). If you are eating 1 Gujiya, you either have to maintain the intake of calories as 1700, or you have to increase the output of calories on that particular day and also understand that each food source has its own work, so if you are choosing to maintain the intake calories option, try to replace the calories of Gujiya with fat as the fat is the primary nutrition which a Gujiya contains.
With this logic, can we eat our desserts every day?
The answer could be a yes or no; it depends on what you are eating and replacing.
Each and every macro-nutrient have their own work, like protein works in muscle growth, carbohydrates provide us energy; similarly fat also has its own assigned work, occasionally replacing 200 protein calories with fat calories might work, but if you keep on doing the same, it will hamper the muscle growth.
Apart from this, we also want you to consider one more factor, not every dessert has the same nutritional value, few of the desserts contain empty calories, and if you replace your regular fat sources with those empty calories, you won’t get any benefit.
We hope now you got the answer, so it’s a YES for Gujiya this Holi but with the proper calculation.
Happy Holi!
