Do we need to count calories to lose weight?
The short answer is actually no we don’t
BUT
It is a very helpful tool and can be shortcut to understanding your nutrition better and knowing how to be in a calorie defecit.
If you know how much or how little you’re eating every day, and recognising the patterns in your daily diet,it’s only gonna help to know what works and what doesn’t.
And that’s the thing with tracking your calories. It doesn’t just have to be for weight loss.
I always talk to my clients about the importance of educating yourself with this tool. It allows you to learn more about the nutritional value of your foods, understand portion control, understand so much about your own eating habits,and see where you may need to be changing your eating habits.
And once you start becoming more aware of how much food you are consuming daily, you’ll actually know if you are eating within a calorie deficit.
And we all know that a calorie deficit is required for fat loss.
So, mums, get yourself some scales( food ones not the sad steps!), download a tracking app (myfitnesspal is my favourite), and start to learn, educate, and be accountable for everything you’re consuming on a daily basis, you’ll suprise yourself at how much better you want to fuel yourself and how much you didn’t really want that extra Kit Kat when you see it written out in front of you, trust me!!
Help with tracking and understanding calories is just part of what you get inside my coaching, if this is something you’d like some help with DM me the word “calories” and let me help! 🥰
