Key word occasionalā¦.
1- get friends that SUPPORT your goals. Instead of asking me out for dinner, my friend asked āhow much longer are you cutting forā ..
2- portion control is everything, you donāt have to āget your moneys worthā and finish your meal if it leaves you feeling like youāve overate, the money is gone either way. Also please remember, your portion may look different to someone elseās portion and thatās ok! In my case, I ate more than my friend but after years of learning, I know my body and itās needs and I require a lot of food still ⦠yessss, even if I am cutting!
3- prioritise protein always, during the meal and throughout the day too. If you can, stick to simple ingredients foods over processed foods (not always an option)
4- be ok to make some sacrifices, even if you donāt want to.. I would have LOVED to have smashed some ice cream after this, but for what? 5 minutes of happiness and another 500 calories added on to the day for the sake of it. Itās a short term sacricce I am happy to make if it means making progress toward my goal that week.
5- ensure you still eat during the day but adapt your meals to save your more calories for dinner, and/or push your meal timings back so youāre not going into the meal out starving hungry.
I personally donāt bother tracking the occasional meal out because youāll never know exact the number of calories you consumed, so I just eat it and move on from it.
