Have you ever started a program and received the advice that you should eat x% protein and y% carbs, etc.? Or heard a friend say that they can have a 1/2 cup of this and 8 oz. of that?
Don't get me wrong....I think that these macros and measurements are all excellent ways to reach one's goals.....but I don't like putting that much thought into my food!
So...what DO I do?
Not wanting to put a lot of thought into what and how much I'm eating is easily done with these programs I've been doing. Why? It's done for me!
Does someone come to my house and make my meals? No. But there is a nutrition guide with EVERY program that helps you calculate the "macros" you should be eating in order to get the best results with the program you are using......AND, it even lists examples of each category for you, so you can just browse through and pick what you are going to eat.
Most items I eat don't even need measuring....a half of a sweet potato is pretty easy to figure out! But when I'm not sure how big a serving size is, I just grab my color coded container, dump it in, and, if it fits, I'm all set! And, honestly, after using them for a bit, you kind of know how much you need. I don't need to scan my foods into an app that calculated the carbs and protein or pull out a food scale.
