We hear it all the time..
👉🏼 “I’m just not good at tracking my food.”
👉🏼 “I really don’t want to track. Can we do something else?”
👉🏼 “Can you just tell me what to eat instead?”
Look, we get it! Tracking your food can be hard and tedious at first. But like anything else in life, it becomes easier the more you do it. Once you get yourself on a consistent routine, tracking your food really is quite easy!
Here are some simple ways you can start tracking your food:
1️⃣ Take pen to paper and just write it down (or use the notes app in your phone). This could be a great first step and simply makes you more aware of WHAT you are eating.
2️⃣ If you want to count the calories, the easiest way is to use an app, like MyFitnessPal. Nearly every food you could search on the internet is already in the database, making the process quick and easy!
3️⃣ Just track your protein intake! (Arguably the most important macronutrient) Write it down, note it in your phone, use an app… whatever you prefer, but just track your protein. If you’re consistently below 100 grams, it’s probably a safe bet to increase that.
4️⃣ And for my veteran trackers out there, pre-log your food! If you’ve been tracking for a while, you’re likely already on a good routine. This can save you time later in your day.
5️⃣ For the love of God- track your water!! You should be drinking half your body weight in ounces every single day. If you’re not hitting that goal, START HERE!
