Food labels inaccurate ±20% are you taking this in consideration?
So many may not know that but in UK ( everywhere in the world ) they have “reasonable accuracy” policy related to food labeling. Food can be ±20% off the label balance.
What doest it mean ?
That on the 2000cal diet
2,000 kcal target in reality is anywhere between 1,600 to 2,400 kcal
That’s a 400-calorie swing in either direction without the person doing anything “wrong.”Over a week, that becomes a potential difference of 2,800 to 5,600 kcal, which is roughly 0.4–0.8 kg of body fat difference in energy terms.
How to deal with it . If you are gaining or loosing weight is not biggie there is swing on the scale - lifts are getting stronger is a win.
Moment it stops. I would stick to same products same brands week on week and just adjust down or up the portion. 10% reduction of the size of the plate. Calorie counter may say you running on less that you want to but is just a guidance number.
