Do you think it is easier to create a meal plan for days of the week or to just count calories??
Question:
Answers:
Definitely creating a meal plan is best.
/this way you do not eat whatever is available.
If you plan out your meals you can go shopping at the beginning of the week and make sure you have everything you need for that week.
Also, you can sometimes pre-prepare your foods. If you are cooking one night and can do up some thing for the next day you will be ahead of the game.
The risk of snacking or going out for fast food is so much less when you prepare ahead.
good luck with everything.
Make a meal plan and stick to it, it's the easiest to keep track of what you eat. Write the calories behind the items you eat and than you know if you can have a snack on top of your meal choices.
I find its easier to map out meal plans because then you are prepared. When I don't plan my meals, I tend to eat whatever is more easily accessible. It also helps get you into a healthy living style of eating well.
Honestly, its easier for me to count calories because i can portion out what I should be eating. Sometimes you just dont realize how many calories can be in something unless you look. Perfect example, my boyfriend went to Mcdonalds the other day and bought 3 chicken select strips and one of those cinnamelts. He said it still left him hungry afterwards... Just for fun I went on the website to look at how many calories were in what he ate..900!! I couldnt believe it. So, I definitly watch my calories before I eat them. Hope this helps!
mapping out your food intake will help in many ways. You will be able to know what you want to eat and can also count the calories. at the end of the week.
My mom has lost 15 pounds in a month by not dieting what she is doing is eating what she wants but just watching her portions
also remember never go grocery shopping when you are hungry because that will cause you to buy unnecessary foods
