đ„Food Tracking Tips
đStudies show that increased awareness thru food tracking helps with accountability & weight loss.
.
—ïžHere are some food tracking tips that help me & my clients.
.
đČUse the free app My Fitness Pal.
.
âȘ Look for the green checkmark when searching foods â this means that a food has been âverifiedâ.
.
âȘÂ đLook at the serving size of foods – change the measurement to 1g when possible.
.
âȘïžđ±Scan the bar code on packaged foods.
.
âȘ đ€MFP is intuitive. Notice how common foods pre-populate under the food you are logging. Use this list to check the foods youâre adding to a meal & later go back & change quantity.
.
âȘÂ âAdd common meals to the âmealâ tab â change quantities later.
.
âȘ đœCreate your own #recipes by manually adding ingredients or copy a URL into MFP (Double check serving size & change if needed).
.
âȘ đđ»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
.
âȘ đââïžMFP can set macros for you (these are not ideal or personalized). My suggestion is to get HUMAN INPUT into those numbers.
.
âȘÂ đTry to hit the total number of macros that your human prepares for you +/-5 g in each category.
.
â âïžPlan & track your food the night before, change exact quantities the day of, this will help the balancing act of macros.
.
â đ€Make a deal that food doesnât go in your mouth until you measure & track it.
.
â đ„Measure using cups for liquids, weigh solids on an electronic food scale.
.
â đ€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.
.
đ„If you want me đââïžto be the human that sets up a nutrition profile with the correct amount of ‘macros’ (protein/carbs/fats) for YOU – reach out!đ±âŠ
