10 OUR MOTTO: COUNT NUTRIENTS, NOT CALORIES Not all calories are created equal. Some calories are healing, some are harming. Some calories are metabolism-boosting, while others boost blood sugar. The same number of calories from different types of food can influence the body in different ways. At Freshii, we beliee it s important to eat the RIGHT type of calories that energize your body and make you feel GOOD. We follow a nutrient-based approach to eating: sering a menu focused on food quality, not quantity. At Freshii, we count nutrients oer calories, and here s why: 1. COUNTING CALORIES CAN LEAD TO THE CONSUMPTION OF THE WRONG TYPE OF CALORIES If you re only keeping the number of calories in mind, it is easy to forget about the other components of a food and the effect they can hae on the body. Consider a 100-calorie apple ersus a 100-calorie candy bar. Viewing them as the same because they hold an equal number of calories can lead us to make poor food choices. The candy bar offers little to no nutritional alue, while the apple proides itamins, minerals, and fiber to help the body process the calories consumed. 2. COUNTING CALORIES IGNORES FOOD QUALITY Calorie counting does not consider if a food is natural and unprocessed, or distinguish between the type of fat, protein and carbohydrates it contains. from comple carbohydrates, such as whole grains and egetables, will help to maintain blood sugar leels and proide the body with sustained energy. Simple carbohydrates, such as refined grains and added sugars, will hae the opposite effect, spiking insulin leels and contributing to increased craings and appetite. 3. COUNTING CALORIES CAN ENCOURAGE THE RESTRICTION OF NUTRIENT-DENSE FOOD Some of the most nutritious food on the planet is also the most caloric. Although calorie-dense, foods such as aocados, nuts and seeds contain essential fats, itamins and minerals to support a healthy weight and metabolism. The nutritional benefit from these foods far outweigh the number of calories they contain. We beliee that if you focus on eating healthy food, you don t hae to count calories. As long as you fuel yourself with the proper energy and nutrients, your body will take care of the rest - which includes keeping you at a healthy weight.

11 If you can t already tell, we loe calories (the good ones at least). Howeer, we also understand that at times, monitoring your calorie intake may be necessary. For those calorie-conscious indiiduals, we e got a few suggestions to help you achiee your goals while energizing at Freshii MORE GREENS, LESS GRAINS Quinoa and brown rice are known for their impressie health profiles, but can also be quite calorie-dense if consumed in large amounts. When ordering your faourite bowl, upgrade to a kale base or opt for half grains, half greens. PACK ON PROTEIN -rich foods are highly satiating, leading to reduced hunger and craings. Be sure to include lean proteins with your Freshii menu items - choose from chicken, tofu, falafel, hard-boiled eggs and beans. DITCH THE DAIRY Cheese is an ecellent source of calcium, but no matter which way you slice it, most cheese is high in calories and fat. If you re mindful of numbers, substitute the cheese for non-dairy sources of calcium such as broccoli or kale. DON T GO NUTS Nuts are packed with nutrients, but they are also packed with calories and (healthy) fats. Incorporate nuts into your daily diet in order to reap their nutritional benefits, but remember that portion control is key - ask for a half sering. DRESS LIGHTLY We prepare our salad dressings fresh in-house with heart-healthy oils. Ask for your menu item to be lightly dressed or use balsamic inegar or lemon juice in place of dressing.
