💭 Imagine this: You’re tracking every bite, weighing every portion, and sticking to your calorie goals like clockwork. Yet, somehow, the scale does not move. Frustrating, right? 😤 This is exactly what happened to many of the clients I have worked with in the past. Most are convinced calorie counting didn’t work because of what he kept hearing online: “It’s not about calories,” or “Hormones matter more than a calorie deficit.” And while those statements hold a grain of truth, here’s the reality: You can’t lose fat without a calorie deficit. 🧪 That’s just basic thermodynamics. Now I am not a CICO guy (Calories in Calories out). I do think there is more to it than just calories, macro balancing, nutritional quality, and other factors
BUT… most people fail at the very basics which is actually creating a true calorie deficit Here are four common mistakes holding most people who track calories or macros back
1️⃣ Misjudging portions (yes, even “healthy” foods can add up).
2️⃣ Forgetting to log hidden calories in sauces and drinks.
3️⃣ Overestimating calories burned through exercise.
4️⃣ Weekend eating patterns undoing weekday consistency. When you start to get better at managing these events, things start to change and you start to see results! You just have to get the basics right. 🙌
