At The Healthy Mummy, we don’t believe it is necessary to strictly calorie count all your food and drinks in order to lose weight. Counting every single calorie can make losing weight feel very boring and regimented, which can often mean you don’t stick at any weight loss or healthy eating plan for long.

However, knowledge is power. Firstly, we know lots of mums do like to count calories, and secondly, we wanted to create a calorie guide that was more than just a grid of calorie listings and numbers. We wanted to create a guide that helps to educate you as to how to choose the healthiest calories and put you in control of the foods you are eating.

We wanted to create a guide which sorts through the tens of thousands of brands and products in the market place and lists our pick of the healthiest ones for you to choose from – which means you save time and learn more about better calorie and health choices along the way.

So this is why we have created The Healthy Mummy Calorie Bible, your one-stop shop to choosing the healthiest calories for your household.

We haven’t listed the calories for every food in the supermarket, which means you won’t be overwhelmed with data. Instead, we have listed key food groups and their calorie listings, then chosen our top picks in the most commonly purchased branded food sections.

Each section contains extensive commentary, top pick lists, recipes, tips, health and weight loss advice. Our expert team has ensured all the information is easy to understand, so you will learn a lot from reading and using it.

We hope you find it useful and that it’s a regular companion in your handbag – as we have of course made it handbag-sized for ease of use!
