I've been working out and eating clean for a while but haven't been noticing much change. I've lost some weight but easily regain some of it. It's like a zigzag line of progress.
I downloaded the MyFitnessPal app today and started tracking everything I ate. I thought I was doing okay until I had my dinner and logged it. My "healthy" dinner wasn't that healthy after all. The oil I used to cook it in, the rice and sauces, and other cooking ingredients were around the same number of calories as the shrimp and vegetables.
Lessons learnt -
- Carby snacks, even in small amounts, easily add up - biscuits, bread, cereal, etc.
- If I need to hit my daily protein goal, I need to start early and frontload my protein intake.
- Cook in a manner that doesn't require a lot of ingredients, like grilling or roasting.
