Food choices matter.

But this doesn’t mean you completely have to give up the foods that you love.

You can still enjoy eating out and not have to order just a salad.

Let me show you how to make a health conscious order-

Let’s say you love burgers- and without thinking, order a soda, a side salad, and a bacon cheeseburger with a side of fries.

A beef burger with cheese and bacon added onto it is going to be around 1000 calories. The soda has 150 calories (all sugar) and then the fries and salad pack a punch as well.

My tips for making this meal more macro friendly;

💦always drink plenty of water and opt for this over other drinks.

🥤order a diet soda instead

🍔choose a chicken sandwich (grilled is even better!) instead of beef +bacon

🍟order a side of fries if you want but order a small, choose sweet potato (more micronutrients but NOT lower in calories) if possible and if you like them!

🥗 pick a salad or fries for a side. Salads at restaurants often have more fat and if fries are what you want- order a small serving of those instead and save the salad for home!

You need to be in a caloric deficit to lose weight.

Avocados and nuts are full of healthy fats (yum love them!) and can definitely be part of a healthy fat loss diet BUT simply switching to “clean” foods does not guarantee weight loss.

Being in a caloric deficit does.

Some simple ways to do this are to;

💦increase exercise and prioritize weight lifting
🍔decrease the fat in your diet by limiting processed foods, switching to low fat options, and avoiding high fat sauces and salad dressings
💧stay hydrated- 1 gal of water per day
🍗prioritize lean protein in every meal
✅discover your (ESTIMATE) maintenance calories by using an online calculator, and subtracting 100-500 from that amount to be in a deficit.
