Hey! I’m beginning my weight loss journey now that I’ve graduated from school. I’m coming from a routine that saw me skipping breakfast, drinking two coffees and maybe eating some dinner. I was wondering if you had any tips to help me get into a regular (or somewhat normal) eating routine? Also, what’s so important about calories?

Hello!

I am very proud of you for getting into healthy weightloss!! Here are some tips:

~ Breakfast: Eat a big breakfast! It should be around 200-250 calories. Don’t worry, you will burn most of it throughout the day anyway. Eat things that fill you up, focus on protein and complex carbs like oats.

~ Lunch: Have a medium lunch like a salad, nuts and dried fruit, fruit salads or a eggs. Anything that gives you a little energy kick, especially if you are in school or work.

~ Dinner: Make sure you eat something statisfying for dinner so you don’t binge later on, but don’t overdo it. Cook yourself something nice and warm that fills you up. Fill at least half of your plate with vegetables, wether they be steamed, cooked or raw. Salads are a great addition too.

~ Snacks: Snack whenever you feel hungry in between meals or need energy but eat mindful. Don’t eat out of boredom or because you want comfort and eat healthy things. Have fruits and veggies instead of chips and sweets and make sure you don’t overdo it. However, treating yourself sometimes is allowed of course!

As to the calories, it’s very helpful for weightloss to calculate your TDEE and then count your daily calorie intake so you eat below your TDEE to lose weight! But don’t let calories ruin your life, after all they are just numbers and numbers should never be more important than your happiness.

I hope I could help you. It’s a lot to take it but really, just eat when you are hungry but eat healthy things and cut down on the junk/snacks and you’ll lose in no time! ♥
