Ok, lets’ just face it: We all love food. For example, when we go camping I keep telling my boyfriend it is all about the food. This is why we had to buy a camper with a fridge. Clearly tent camping is not food glamping. Skiing includes a hamburger and beer at lunch. So how do I manage? Well, all things in moderation and super healthy food during the week. To keep myself from getting totally out of control I LOVE the free app MyFitnessPal.
I record EVERYTHING. If I have extra calories at the end of the day I get a treat. Perhaps a big spoonful of peanut butter or maybe a ¼ cup of frozen unsweetened cherries bubbling hot from the microwave.
At the end of each day you can view a report on macro nutrient and vitamin intake. MyFitnessPal helped me learn about healthy eating habits and I’ve made major modifications while reducing my weight. Now, to stay satisfied and full I eat more vegetables and more protein. I learned I definitely need Calcium supplements and I eat more bananas and spinach for potassium. Poached eggs with a dash of green Tabasco are a yummy low calorie way to increase protein intake.
Personal training clients add me as a delegate so we can talk about it during each training session and weigh-in. Its’ free. Download and you have nothing to lose ’cept the weight!
