WHY YOU’RE ACTUALLY NOT IN A DEFICIT 👀
You say you’re in a calorie deficit, but are you really?
A few sneaky things that can easily push you out of one:
👉 Weekend blowouts
A few extra drinks, takeaway meals and snacks can undo an entire week’s deficit
👉 “Healthy” extras
Peanut butter, olive oil, nuts, protein bars and smoothies all add up quickly
👉 Eyeballing portions
What looks like 1 serving is often 2–3 servings
👉 Rewarding workouts with food
“Because I trained today” can become an extra 500+ calories without realising
👉 Not tracking liquid calories
Alcohol, juices, soft drinks and fancy coffees count too
👉 Moving less than you think
If your steps have dropped, your calorie burn may have too
Before cutting calories lower, take an honest look at your consistency first… are you actually being honest with your tracking? Are you intentionally moving your body throughout the day to support total daily movement?
