Give this a read if you need a little extra help with tracking your food !!

There is lots of room for error when it comes to tracking your food intake if you are too blasé about it. Here are my top tips on how to assess your accuracy and ensure you are tracking as accurately as possible, as a few 100 calories over here and there quickly adds up and can quite literally break your calorie deficit for the week and lead to zero fat loss.
TIP 1- WEIGH IT
Ensure you weigh everything. I recommend weighing in grams as this is more accurate than cups. Make sure you are consistent with when you weigh your food (cooked or uncooked). If you weigh your chicken cooked, always weigh it cooked. CONSISTENCY IS KEY. Bear in mind that uncooked weights are different to cook, so ensure your tracker matches what you are doing.
TIP 2- BE CONSISTANT AND SPECIFIC
For the foods you are eating repeatedly ensure you use the same ones for consistency. Double check the entry against the label on the food as sometimes an incorrect input could be stored on the app.
Be specific with inputting the foods. If you can scan, do this and cross reference it with the label. If you cannot scan the label, be specific with name/ brands / supermarket. (Tesco baby plum tomatoes)
TIP 3- TRACK BEFORE YOU EAT IT
Preparation is key for ensuring you keep within your Macro goals. Inputting the food, the night before always works well.
This also limits the risk of you forgetting foods that you may have grabbed on the go. It is easy to forget foods along the way and you do not want to have to delete food later in the day because your grab and go snack was larger than you thought.
TIP 4- TRACK EVERYTHING
It may sound obvious but ensuring you track everything can be the game changer in getting results. Some people may miss little things here and there but in the long run it all adds up.
Just think…. If it passes your lips… TRACK IT!! Stay accountable.
