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 😂
