HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT WITHOUT STRICTLY TRACKING CALORIES | Health & Nutrition – Mag The Weekly Magazine

Weve all established that for fat loss, the only thing that matters is a caloric deficit which you achieve by weighing your food and tracking. To track your food efficiently, you have to cook your food yourself. While this isnt a problem for most, it can be quite challenging for students in hostels, people that work long hours or anyone that doesnt want to go through the stress of extreme tracking. Here are some great tips on how you can achieve a caloric deficit without strict tracking. All youre going to need is a free application called myfitnesspal, a kitchen scale to weight your food and a bathroom scale.

Focus on foods with fixed calories

There are a lot of foods that have set amounts and hence set calories for example eggs, bread slices, frozen foods, foods packaged in single servings. Adding these into your diet allow you to track your food without weighing them on a scale.

Meal prep is your best friend

For foods that need to be weighed like chicken, vegetables, rice, pasta etc, all you have to do is dedicate a few hours to meal prep for two weeks and youre sorted. Boil chicken and add 100g into packets, steam veggies and store in single servings, boil rice/pasta/cook a chapati in single servings and store them. Toss one serving of rice, one serving of veggies and one serving of chicken together in a lunch box, top with your favourite sauce and your meal is ready in less than three minutes. Alternatively, you can mix the boiled chicken with your favourite sauce and add into a sandwich with a side of veggies.

Frozen foods go a long way

If youre one of those people that cant manage meal prep, frozen foods have a large variety of protein options that you can use instead of chicken. They also have all the nutritional info mentioned on the box making them really easy to track.

International fast food chains

If you can order take out frequently, international fast food chains have all their nutritional info available on their websites through which you can track the foods you eat. Just remember to overestimate calories a bit since theyre not efficiently weighing all their portions.

A little uncertainty wont make much of a difference

Nutritional info for fruits is available by pieces. While Id prefer weighing in grams, it wont make enough of a difference to harm your progress even if youre tracking by pieces. Similarly, almost all vegetables are extremely low calorie. Estimating amounts with vegetables shouldnt make much of a difference either.

Sweet cravings

Now that meals are sorted, what do I do about deserts? Again, packaged goods! Chocolates, cupcakes, soft cakes, biscuits, basically anything with a label that you can track and youre good to go.

Fat loss requires consistency, dedication and most importantly no excuses. If youre determined, youll find a way no matter where you are or what you do.
