Greens 🥬 is a priority & naughty carbs is occasionally 🥖. Easy peasy ✌🏼.
Many of u asked whether I track my calories or count my macros currently.
A: not at the moment as I can roughly gauge portion size of the general food I eat.
Yes it true to lose fats/weight you need to track what you eat, calorie intake & macro. However, if you have been practising healthy eating and your healthy eating habits somewhat has become part of your lifestyle, tracking calories/macros is not entirely necessary if you are on the maintenance side.
This advantage is not for everyone unfortunately. It really depends on your fitness/health goal tbh. And how well u know your food and the food you are eating daily.
For someone who just started their journey, I would suggest you to “tahan” and go with the timely & tedious process of counting calories/macros for at least 28days. Coz we’ll let’s be honest here, not everyone can be discipline enough & have that will power to control their “nafsu” makan aight.
After 28days, ask yourself if you can eat almost the same food and sort of gauge the portion. If you can’t, keep counting them calories/macro & track it using app.
Transitioning from counting calories/macro, you can pay attention to the portion size. Meaning for the first 28days, after u measure your food, jot down the serving size using hand portion serving size.
How 200g of cooked chicken look in hand portion size and etc. I know it’s timely & timeous, but once u get a hang of it, you can pretty much know how much you should be eating in each meal.
But again, this method only work if you are maintaining your weight. To build lean muscle/load mass/shred/lose weight, unfortunately you have to put in more effort and count them cal/macros the least once in every 2-3 weeks.
Hope this help. It’s just my way of simplifying things. It might not be for everyone.
P/s: I know u guys are obsess over protein but please prioritise 🥬 and have them in every main meal. 🥕 doesn’t count lol 😂

NUTRITION WHY'S : CARBOHYDRATES AND EXERCISE- Your muscles store glucose as glycogen, a starch with a central protein. The beads on the starch each represent one glucose molecule. Glycogen is in the muscle cells where it can provide glucose that is converted to energy for your muscles to function. With light exercise you deplete very little glycogen as you burn mostly fat. With moderate exercise such as gardening, glycogen stores are reduced over two to three hours. With heavy exercise, glycogen can be depleted in one hour. If you eat no carbohydrates, glycogen stores are depleted in 2-3 days. Glycogen depletion leads to extreme fatigue, which is why runners and cyclists take sports drinks with glucose to spare glycogen breakdown. After exhausting exercise it is important to both replenish glycogen stores and promote muscle repair with protein. This can be accomplished over several hours if both protein and carbohydrates are given together at a ratio of 4 grams of carbohydrate for each gram of protein to restore glycogen. Even if you are not an elite athlete, have a Protein-Rich Shake within 30 minutes to one hour of finishing an exercise session and you will start the process of limiting post-exercise muscle damage and beginning to build muscle protein. Carbs have a bad reputation, but they are burned during exercise and only lead to weight gain if you eat too many carb calories without burning them off !!!#drdavidheber #carbs #muscle #glycogen #protein to learn more go to www.drdavidheber.com and www.herbalifenutritioninstitute.com

Hey peeps, I'm joining Anlene Heart-Plus in encouraging more Malaysians to care for the "3 highs" in life which are your cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar. It concerns me a lot, knowing that an estimate 73% of deaths in Malaysia is due to people not being able to manage these "3 highs".
So I'm encouraging you to make the choice my dear fit lovelies to stay active, and eat healthy. Here's an example of how I start the day eating well. By having a hearty breakfast packed with protein, fat, food carbs and fiber, combine it with 2 glasses of Anlene Heart-plus daily.
Us "growing" adults need milk too. Lemme share the benefits of taking adult milk powder from Anlene.
- Comes with plant sterols that helps to reduce cholesterol
- No added sugar, it is suitable for diabetes patients
- Calcium, Vitamin D and Magnesium to maintain strong bones
- Protein to help build and repair muscle tissue
- Collagen necessary for smooth and flexible movements at the joints.
