Facts About Calorie-Controlled
Diets
A calorie-controlled diet is simply an
eating plan with a calculated calorie content. A very-low-calorie diet
(also called a very-low-energy diet, VLED) typically contains about 800
calories per day, based around a mixture of real food and meal-replacement
shakes or bars. Low energy diets are usually used by very overweight or
obese dieters, under medical supervision. A low-calorie weight loss diet
for general use usually contains about 1200-1600 calories, and typically
would not include Mexican food due to its relatively high calorie-content.
High calorie diets, used by athletes and sportspeople who burn very large
amounts of energy, may contain up to 10,000 calories.
