Nutritionist's Tip: Mindful Eating to Avoid Hidden Calories

Mindful Eating: A Valencian Nutritionist's Guide to Portion Control València, Spain – June 4, 2025 – In a recent segment on À Punt Mèdia, nutritionist Clara Llorens offered viewers practical advice on mindful eating, focusing on the often-overlooked calorie density of nuts and nut butters. Llorens used a visual comparison to demonstrate the difference in portion size between a typical serving of nuts and a higher-calorie equivalent of watermelon. "A handful of almonds or a tablespoon of peanut butter can easily contain 200 calories," Llorens explained, "but the same amount of calories in watermelon would be a much larger portion." This simple comparison highlights how easy it is to underestimate calorie intake from seemingly small portions of high-density foods. The segment emphasizes the importance of being aware of portion sizes to maintain a healthy diet. Llorens's practical advice and engaging presentation make this a valuable resource for those seeking healthier eating habits. The video concludes with a simple reminder to pair high-calorie snacks with larger portions of lower-calorie options like watermelon for a more balanced approach to calorie consumption.
