13 Times That Calories Dont Count

We’ve been talking a lot about calories here on The Petite Professional lately– how I care a lot less about them than I used to, but still care sometimes. Regardless of how I’m feeling, though, calories are often an unavoidable metric. As a dietitian, I talk with a lot of clients who are interested in weight loss, so it was inevitable that I developed some tips/tricks to cutting cals.

Before you get too excited, though, we’re saving that for another blog post. This post is even more exciting. Today we’re talking about 13 instances in which calories just don’t count.
