Counting calories is not sustainable for me. I get too obsessive over them, spending most of my day calculating and recalculating different potential options I can have. After a month or two, I end up getting too stressed amd anxious about them and completely giving up.
I know calories in calories out is the only thing that matter weight loss. I was wondering if anyone here manages this in a different way.
I was thinking of having a set of rules that would lead me to healthier and lower calorie choices. This would be more about portioning through the day, than about tracking. I came up with a rough draft (see at the end of the post).I am okay with looking at the calorie counts and making sure I'm under, but the logging and tracking is the part I find so stressful.
Please let me know if you have another method that works for you or if you have comments on my rules.
-
Unlimited fruit (no sugar added), veggies, and lean protien
-
Fatty protien (85% ground beef, bacon, dark meat chicken, etc) only once per week
-
1 serving of starches per day. Once on the weekend, can have an extra serving of starch or an unhealthy startch (fries, pancakes, etc).
-
1 serving of fat (cheese, peanut butter, avocado) / day not to exceed 100 calories
-
1 treat per day not to exceed 250 calories
-
Cooking oil for the day not to exceed 100 calories.
