Would you rather…
Cut back on your food intake or eat more of what you love? ❤️
I know what I prefer. It’s a funny one, you want to eat and love food but you also want to stay healthy, fit and have a good physique. Where is the in between? How can we love what we eat and also not feel restricted.
My answer is to train more…I have always lived by this and I guess it’s the old do more, eat less…less input more output which you hear many PTs saying.
I love my food and I really struggle to cut back, I am not about cutting things out or cutting back so I tend to just focus on eating more nutrient dense foods, macros (protein, carbs and fats) and micros (fruits, veg). I don’t tend to track but now that I’m training for the half marathon and wanting to trim myself up, I have been keeping an eye on what I put into my body, this includes less high calorie dense foods, focusing on protein with each meal, snacks consisting of nuts and fruit. The weekends I tend to give myself some leeway 😜, but I still stay on top of my training!
Looking forward to seeing where this training and nutrition journey will take me. Stay tuned!
