Calories (1x2)


Exibido em:: Mar 26, 2015

Calories are the language of many diets and healthy eating plans, but it turns out you can't always trust the numbers on the label. Recent research reveals that over a third of foods we buy are mis-labelled. Calories aren't all they seem. To find out what's going on, Dr Chris van Tulleken is going to investigate Britain's favourite foods. In a specially designed pop-up kitchen lab in a major British city, Chris will be joined by scientists, chefs and members of the public to discover the truth about calories - what they are, what's really in the food we eat, and what our bodies do with them. Through a series of demonstrations, Chris and top nutritionists will reveal a different way to keep track of the calories we consume: 'The Biological Counter' will give an accurate number we can trust. It will tell us which foods give us extra calories, which foods give us fewer, and how cooking techniques can dramatically alter a food's calorific count. The programme will show how we can all be healthier through eating smarter - without dramatically changing the food on our plate.
