"I just don't eat that much!"
It can be really confusing hearing over and over that to lose weight you just need to "eat less and move more" - but you already don't eat that much, right?
A calorie deficit isn't necessarily about the QUANTITY of the food - it's the content. There are hidden calories everywhere, which means you could be eating f**k all - but actually consuming double the calories you think.
So - we need to look at the content, not just the quantity of what we're consuming. A simple juice 🧃 can have the same calories as a full meal🌯
A slice of banana bread from Coles is 338 calories, from a chain coffee store is even more at 453 calories.
Instead of trying to starve yourself - look at the calorie density of the foods you're having. Fill your diet with primarily wholefoods (vegetables, lean proteins, fruits) and monitor the calorie dense foods.
And - stop skipping meals because you're sure you're not hungry or you don't have time. You are hungry you've just lost connection with your bodily cues, and you gain time by prepping your meals.
