When we’re in a calorie deficit, sometimes it’s the smallest swaps that make it feel that little bit easier 👏🏼
🥔 300g potatoes = 250 calories
🎃 300g butternut squash = 126 calories
Same 300g portion, but 124 fewer calories… giving us a little more flexibility with with calories elsewhere in the day.
Now, am I saying you need to stop eating potatoes? Absolutely not🙅🏻♀️
I love my spuds🥰
But this is where understanding calorie density can be really helpful.
We could swap our potatoes for butternut squash, or even go half and half… keeping the foods we enjoy while making our calories stretch that little bit further.
Because sustainable fat loss isn’t about constantly eating less and less.
It’s about learning how to build meals that are filling, satisfying and still work towards our goals🙏🏻
