Let me ask you a question.

Do you feel like you “don’t eat much,” yet you can’t lose weight?

Or even worse…. You’re slowly gaining weight?

Yes? Ok… now let me ask you a follow up question.

Do you have a small bite of a cookie, grab a handful of nuts, or have a small amount of any snack whenever you walk through the kitchen?

Or do you eat the 3 chicken nuggets your kids left on their plate because you didn’t want to be wasteful?

Do you take multiple bites of food when you’re preparing it to make sure it’s seasoned?

If you answered yes, this is exactly why you feel like you don’t eat much, yet you can’t lose weight.

It’s because you’re snacking on small amounts of calorie dense foods multiple times throughout the day, every single day, without even realizing how much you’re actually overdoing it by.

Half a cookie, a small handful of nuts, a bite of chocolate, 3 chicken nuggets, can add up to over 1000 additional calories each day, quickly, which can derail a lot of the hard work you’re putting into your nutrition.

And the reason you’re probably overly snacking throughout the day is because you try to restrict your meals so much because you want to lose weight that you’re never actually satisfied after you eat.

There’s nothing worse than eating your meal and still feeling hungry. 400 calories is NOT a meal.

So here’s what you should do instead.

First off – have big meal that are actually going to help you feel full until your next meal so you don’t feel the urge to constantly snack.

You should feel full and satisfied after your breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Always.

And two – track your food intake.

You will learn so much about your eating habits if you take a couple of months to diligently track everything you eat.

You don’t have to do it forever, but do it as diligently as possible for at least three months. You won’t regret it, I promise.
