You know how aesthetically pleasing a perfectly-topped acai bowl or yoghurt parfait looks on social media. But if you're actually planning on eating that food, you could be consuming too many calories.
"For example, 3/4 cup of yoghurt with 1/4 cup of fruit is around 210 calories," Monica Auslander Moreno, MS, RD, nutrition consultant for RSP Nutrition, told POPSUGAR. "Sprinkle in the gorgeous colourful add-ins, which are nutritious, like 1 teaspoon hemp, 1 teaspoon chia, 2 tablespoons drizzled almond butter, 1 tablespoon bee pollen, 1 tablespoon flax, and 1 tablespoon chocolate chips, and it more than doubles the calories! We always encourage nutrient-dense, whole foods, but there is too much of a good thing."
Plus, there's no shame in Instagramming what you actually ate, even if it doesn't include a plethora of colourful toppings.
