Can eating a white chocolate bar (500 calorie sized) everyday adversely affect your health?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stop eating chocolat: Eat foods that are nutrient dense (like meat, fish, poultry, eggs, cheese, low starch vegatables and water) avoid foods that are not nutrient dense (like starches and sugars, including fruit) nutrient dense foods will increase your basal metabolic rate. On the other hand, starches and sugars impair thyroid metabolism via affects on your liver (which helps activate thyroid hormone).

My health app tells me to eat 500 fewer calories per day in order to lose at least 1 lb. per week. I incorporate cardio into my routine throughout the week, but why is 500 the magic number? The app starts out at 2100 calories. Why is 500 significant?
