Knowing roughly how many calories you expend doing different activities can help you with weight loss or maintenance.
Frequently Asked Questions
There are several potential culprits for a lack of weight loss, with the most common ones being:
You’re gaining muscle while losing fat. This is called recomping. In this case, don’t worry about your lack of weight loss—things are still moving in the right direction.
You’re eating more than you think you are. In this case, you need to be more strict about tracking your calorie intake and/or reduce your calorie intake by 100 calories or so per day.
You’re not burning as much energy as you think you are and are no longer in a large enough deficit to cause meaningful weight loss. In this case, add a session or two of cardio to your weekly regimen or even walk more throughout the week.
The easiest way to curb hunger when cutting is to make some simple changes to your diet. Assuming you’re eating plenty of protein, the following tips can help you control your appetite:
Eat more fiber (and soluble fiber in particular).
Drink more water.
Eat fewer calorie-dense foods. This means eating fewer cookies, sugary drinks, oils, and fatty meats, and the like, and more vegetables, fruits, legumes, and lean meat and dairy.
Get enough sleep
The first thing you’ll need is a food scale so you can weigh the foods you eat.
While eyeballing portions is better than nothing, it’s too easy to mess up, and especially when you’re aiming for a moderate, relatively small calorie deficit.
