⠀ Whenever I make myself a big ass salad I usually get a lot of responses like “wow, that is a lot of food, how do you eat all that?” ⠀ ...⠀ Well, yes it is a large volume of food but the calorie count for the size is actually quite low. ⠀ ...⠀ You might find that a calorie deficit is less painful if the majority of the foods you choose are high volume, contain more fiber, water, protein, etc. You get to eat a lot more food, for a lot less calories. These foods also pack a lot more nutrients your body needs.⠀ ...⠀ I get it, a salad is not equivalent to the deliciousness of French fries. I enjoy eating healthy but I am not delusional. 🤪⠀ ...⠀ You can still have your fries but just keep in mind you might find they don’t keep you full as long and leave you feeling prematurely hungry after eating them. ⠀ ...⠀ The more processed a food is, the higher the chance of over-eating it is. They are highly palatable and calorie dense in comparison to less processed foods. ⠀ ...⠀ This isn’t to say you have to give up French friends or processed foods, these are just some tips to make a calorie deficit less painful and to help you think more strategically with your calories. ⠀ ...⠀ #nutrition #food #calories #fitness #fatloss #weightloss #health #caloriedensity #caloriedeficit #diet #workout #nutrientdense #salad #healthtips https://www.instagram.com/p/CCHNonHsHoG/?igshid=te5nd3zskc4v
