Do you feel measuring your food intake in grams or counting calories is too hard?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you think people who measure their foods are neurotic or have an eating disorder?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s talk about tracking a bit more and why it is actually a very effective and flexible strategy for fat loss.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n First of all, tracking should not feel obsessive or neurotic. If it does and you get super frustrated when you cannot perfectly track a meal or know its ingredients then you have gone too far and have too much of a perfectionist approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The point of tracking is just to be able to know the direction your eating habits should change towards, and to find the right calorie amount in order to lose fat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you track your food, you actually give yourself a lot of flexibility.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Had some ice cream on a Friday?
