One of the most common things I hear from women struggling to lose weight is ‘but I barely eat anything’ and they can’t understand why their weight won’t budge.
It’s not always about the volume or food you are eating, but how many calories are in your food choices.
A frappe for Brekky, a few handfuls of nuts as a snack and a toasted sandwich for lunch seems like a small amount of food but this can add up to 1000+ calories.
Add in dinner and then the evening cupboard raid because you feel like you haven’t eaten all day and you are blowing your calorie budget without realising it.
Learning to track your food and understand calories and macros is extremely beneficial to helping you lose fat and just fuelling your body well in general.
When the goal is fat loss we actually want to be aiming to eat more to keep ourselves satisfied. I don’t mean more calories, but I do mean more volume. High volume low calories foods like leafy greens, potatoes, pumpkins, fruit/ berries, veg like cucumber and capsicum, Greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, rice cakes and rice crackers. Adding a lot of these ingredients to your meals while also focusing on protein and fibre will actually leave you feeling like you have eaten A LOT but the calories are kept on the lower side.
This helps you stay full and satisfied and makes your fat loss journey a lot easier.
