> As much as it sucks. Tracking calories is very helpful. Commit to 1-2 months of tracking and you can train yourself to better eyeball what you're eating. It's very hard to just 'eat healthy' to lose weight if you don't have a baseline of calorie content of food. Just to add to this - periodically track again as well and keep track of your weight progress and bodyfat % if you are able. If you aren't also building muscle, as you lose weight your total energy expenditure will decrease as well so after a while what was enough of a calorie deficit for you may no longer be in a deficit as you lose weight. So if you notice you start stalling after a while, start tracking again to see if your TDEE has changed and adjust as needed. |
