55 Rampant Health Myths That Need to Die

Myth: If you work out, you can eat whatever you want

‘When it comes to weight loss and maintenance, diet is king. Many people justify eating unhealthy foods because they’ve worked out that day.

Unfortunately, most people (and exercise machines) overestimate the number of calories burned during a workout, which gives people a false sense of ‘I can eat anything,’ which can actually lead to weight gain. If you really want to lose weight, you need to take a good look at your diet and focus on filling up on nutrient dense foods; exercise alone won’t do the trick.’ – Tory Tedrow, RD, CNSC and Head of Nutrition for ContentChecked
