The HealthyAndTasty system
HealthyAndTasty has decided to calculate what we eat
How much energy do we take in from food every day?
How much fat, carbohydrate, fibre or protein?
What makes us fat?
I calculated every meal I cooked and understood how easy it is to eat in a balanced way when you know something about the ingredients you use. When you find out how much oil “a tablespoon” is when you pour it from a bottle, and how 2-3 extra tablespoons can make a big difference in calories in a portion of food. Did you know that 10 g of oil (12.5 ml – a full spoon is 15 ml) has the same calorie value as 200 g of carrots (3 carrots)? Once you understand these differences, you pay close attention to how many slices of bread you eat with a meal, how often a week you treat yourself to a dessert made of sugar and flour, or how much oil you pour over your tomato salad, if you want to lose weight . If you know that two beers are the calorie equivalent of a whole dinner, how many would you drink in one evening?
There are studies showing that running 1 km burns about 70 kcal (depending on weight and sex). If a beer provides an average of 200 kcal / 500 ml, we would have to run about 3 km for it. It is a simplified calculation, but it can be effective when we choose to drink alcohol every day or to eat without being hungry and then wonder why we are putting on weight.
That is why we created the HealthyAndTasty platform, the place where you can put together your own nutrition plans, based on:
- what you like to eat
- your daily calorie requirement
With the HealthyAndTasty platform you can create personalised menus and meal plans, with the daily nutritional values updated automatically according to the dishes you add.
On the website you will find hundreds of prepared and calculated recipes, options for fresh or dried fruit, dairy products, sweets, seeds, oilseeds and drinks, so that you can add anything you like to your meal plan while taking care not to exceed your daily energy requirement.
We have documented and calculated every food portion, so that you know WHAT, HOW MUCH and HOW you have to eat. On the HealthyAndTasy platform you can enter every dish into your nutrition plan, where the total calories, fats, carbohydrates and proteins for the whole day are calculated automatically.
You need a nutrition plan if:
- you do not understand what is making you fat or why you cannot lose weight;
- you eat too much in the evening;
- you do not take account of the nibbling during the day: perhaps you think that natural juices, extra fruit, 2-3 glasses of wine or beer, a few biscuits or a bag of peanuts do not count?
A nutrition plan to follow is a practical way of keeping your weight under control. And one you put together yourself is the best, because it is your decision. You will not have whole days with nothing but meat, or others with nothing but fruit. You will be able to create healthy and tasty combinations, you can go for soups and stews with little fat, and you will find out what a suitable portion means for you.
You choose your daily menu: what you want to eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner and the two snacks; you select each dish and enter it into your meal plan.
On the HealthyAndTasty platform everything is calculated, and you can see how, by adding a chocolate bar, two slices of bread at lunch and a bag of peanuts in the evening, you exceed your calorie requirement for the day many times over. You will understand what is making you fat, and you will learn to give up foods that have no notable nutritional value but a great many calories.
Even if you know your energy requirement, it is quite hard to work out for yourself how much you eat in a day. That is why HealthyAndTasty created this platform, where you can put together a nutrition plan for a day, a week, a month or any period you like, and where you always have the amount of calories and the most important nutrients of a food under control every day .
Why do you need HealthyAndTasty? Because there are days when you feel you want a change in the menu, a double portion of soup or, on the contrary, to skip a dinner. You can make all these changes very easily and know straight away whether you are keeping to your daily energy requirement or exceeding it. You are in control of every day. You can always follow the preset menu, but you can use the freedom that the HealthyAndTasty platform gives you and make changes as you wish.
How the HealthyAndTasty platform works
On the healthyandtasty.ch website, look for your favourite dishes in the “Recipes” section https://healthyandtasty.ch/rezepte/ and enter them into a personalised plan that helps you lose weight. You always have the number of calories and the most important nutrients of the day under control, so that you do not exceed your daily energy requirement. If you have not worked it out yet, go here https://healthyandtasty.ch/kalorienrechner/ and see the maximum number of calories allowed per day.
To lose weight it is important to know what makes you fat, which portions are the right ones and how many calories you can take in at most in a day. On the HealthyAndTasty platform the nutritional values of the dishes you add to the menu are updated automatically in the daily menu, so that you can change your choices according to your daily energy requirement and the reason why you want to eat or drink.
- You choose your daily menu: what you want to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner and the two snacks
- You select each dish and enter it into your nutrition plan
- HealthyAndTasty calculates the calories and all the nutritional values straight away.
