>> obviously, if you're active after you consume, your metabolism is more revved up. but eating late at night is not going to cause weight gain. >> interesting. okay, all calories are equal. not true, you say. >> exactly. not really true. in terms of psychics, yes. pure calories in versus calories burned is very important when you're talking about losing weight or maintaining weight. but we also have to remember the nutritional value of what we put into our bodies. so a perfect example here is about ten chips is about 130 calories. which would you rather eat, maggie, the plate of 10 chips or all of the little carrot sticks and humus? >> the humus with the chips, if i'm honest. no, what i had for breakfast today is humus and veggies. >> you want to look at most things you eat as fuel. look for things that have nutritional value. the carrots and hummus are better for you. >> skipping meals will help you lose. >> a lot of people will say i'm not going to eat that meal and we have seen repeatedly nutritionists are huge on this fact. eating breakfast is very important. studies have shown especially teenagers who skip breakfast are at higher risk for obesity and people who eat smaller more frequent meals actually tend to do better with their weight than people who eat fewer, larger meals. so, again, you want to try not to skip meals. >> and you don't have to say no to all carbs. >> carbs is a huge thing now. we talk about it all the time. not all carbs are bad. the ones you want to stay away from are the white carb, white bread, white rice, white potatoes. they're really not adding nutritional value and tend to make you hungry very soon after you consumed them. go for the healthy carbs, complex carbohydrates like grains, berries, vegetables. they're all really, really the good carbs. very important for fiber and keeping you full. >> give us a couple rules tried and true that you should be following? >> two big ones, don't drink your calories on a regular basis. remember that approximately 3500 calories equals a pound. if you're trying to lose a pound a week which is the moderate and appropriate amount of weight loss, you really need to cut about 500 calories a day. a lot of people can cut that in their beverage choices. so look at what you're drinking. lastly, you want your diet plan to be sustainable. the key to good weight in your lifetime is to do something that's not a fad, it's not a trend, it's not a quick fix. it's something you can do every single day. >> you're the best. dr. jennifer ashton, thank you. >>> up next, we'll launch our namesake series by meeting a guy named harry smith who has a bit more hair and a lot more karaoke talent than our harry. you don't want to miss this. you're watching "the early show" on cbs. harry. you're watching "the early show" on cbs. >> announcer: cbs healthwatch sponsored by advil congestion relief. the right sinus medication for the real problem. . figures ousands of people are switching from tylenol to advil. to learn more and get your special offer, ousands of people go to takeadvil.com. take action. take advil. how about a coastal soup and grilled shrimp salad combination?
