💥Food Tracking Tips
📚Studies show that increased awareness thru food tracking helps with accountability & weight loss.
.
⤵️Here are some food tracking tips that help me & my clients.
.
📲Use the free app My Fitness Pal.
.
▪ Look for the green checkmark when searching foods – this means that a food has been ‘verified’.
.
▪ 👀Look at the serving size of foods – change the measurement to 1g when possible.
.
▪️📱Scan the bar code on packaged foods.
.
▪ 🤔MFP is intuitive. Notice how common foods pre-populate under the food you are logging. Use this list to check the foods you’re adding to a meal & later go back & change quantity.
.
▪ ➕Add common meals to the ‘meal’ tab – change quantities later.
.
▪ 🍽Create your own #recipes by manually adding ingredients or copy a URL into MFP (Double check serving size & change if needed).
.
▪ 👆🏻Tap the top white bar or scroll to the bottom of the day & click the black #nutrition button to get a quick view of daily macros
.
▪ 🙋♀️MFP can set macros for you (these are not ideal or personalized). My suggestion is to get HUMAN INPUT into those numbers.
.
▪ 💃Try to hit the total number of macros that your human prepares for you +/-5 g in each category.
.
✓ ⚖️Plan & track your food the night before, change exact quantities the day of, this will help the balancing act of macros.
.
✓ 🤝Make a deal that food doesn’t go in your mouth until you measure & track it.
.
✓ 🥄Measure using cups for liquids, weigh solids on an electronic food scale.
.
✓ 🤔Know the difference between the weight of the food & the macros in the food eg. 100g of chicken is about 23g of protein, 2.5g fat, 1g carb.
