Counting calories has long been thought of the go-to method for weight loss. However, trying to track what you eat and how many calories a particular food contains may not be the most accurate way to manage your weight.
In fact, calories are much more complex - a calorie is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1ml of water but the foods you consume contain many more components than that.

In addition to this, cooking processes can change the number of calories in a food product. Not forgetting that every person has different mix of microbes in their gut to break down these calories – meaning the amount of calories displayed on a food product will sometimes be skewed.
Over 45 million Americans attempt to diet yearly but 80% are unsuccessful with long-term weight loss. New wellness platform Able takes a more holistic approach with on-demand coaching to help you meet your health and fitness goals straight from your phone – and without the restriction of tracking your calorie intake.
