“I’m in a calorie deficit, and I’m tracking my food, but I’m not losing weight.” 👀 - I hear this phrase often! - Bad news: you are not actually in a calorie deficit. - Good news: There is a solution! 🙌 - Although tracking your food is a great first step, tracking in and of itself won’t inherently lead to weight-loss. 🤔 - Tracking your food accurately is key. (Along with making sure the calories you are aiming for are an accurate calorie deficit for you.)👌 - Before you jump to the conclusion that your metabolism is broken, or your hormones are preventing you from losing weight, double check to make sure you are tracking as accurately as possible 😬 - We tend to underestimate our calorie intake by about 30%. Whether that is Intentional or not this can really add up! - A few spoonfuls of something at the stove while you cook, a heaping TBS of peanut butter and a spoon lick, a little extra mayo on your sandwich, a few handfuls of nuts or granola throughout the day... it all adds up! 😅 - Despite what you might think, it still counts even if you grab it straight from the bag 😂 - This is not a personal attack, we all do this! ( yes myself included). It’s called being human but before you think your body is broken, try being as mindful as you can about your calorie intake. - You might be surprised what two weeks of focused and mindful food tracking with a food scale can do. Might give it a try if you are feeling frustrated. 😁 - *note* if you have a history of an eating disorder, please be mindful of where you are at with things. Do not track if you find it triggering. ❤️ - #calories #foodtracking #mentalhealth #nutrition #food #health #weightloss #fatloss #metabolism #starvationmode #caloriesincaloriesout #fitness #fit #health #calorietracking #physique #bodybuilding #weightlosstips #snacks #cooking https://www.instagram.com/p/CLFPLc6sP6T/?igshid=hxj2a3segidu
