Nutrional Info
Clean up your main meals
Aim to include nutrient dense foods that give you more eating for your calories in your main meals. For example; spinach, tomatoes, eggs, avocado, mushrooms.
Pair fruits and vegetables with lean protein at meal times. Don’t be scared of eating CARBS with them either – they aren’t the devil!
Remove high-calorie sauces and dressings. Prepare them yourself! After all, freshly made foods do taste so much better, right?

100 Calories of Fruit
There is a variety of fruit here, all 100 calories! Understanding food labels and how many calories are in your commonly consumed foods is going to give you clarity when assessing how many calories you consume vs how many calories you expend.
This is relevant to all types of food. Getting high value eating for your calories is great for fat loss! You can get a lot for your 100 calories. Personally, I love strawberries.
Starbucks
If you’re anything like me, you probably live here. I love coffee! Which is why making good decisions here is important.
Medium Americano is my go-to order everyday, when making coffee at home or in the gym too. Occasionally, and when the calories fit, I do like a Vanilla Latte.
Everyday Habits to Achieve Fat Loss
1. BATCH COOK
Batch cook your meals! Portioning food into containers will ensure you hit and remain within your calorie goal for the day. And, storing the excess in the freezer means you have good, nutritious food when needed! This has been a massive help to me and my family in making sure we eat good while living our busy lives!
2. PROTEIN AND VEG
Eat protein and vegetables at each meal. Fitting in good quality protein, fruit and/or veg at each meal will help to fill you up, and allow you to consume more food for your calories. The benefits of fruits and vegetables are endless, incorporating them into each meal is a definite must do!
3. GO-TO SNACKS
Have go-to snacks that are lower in calories, easy to eat and convenient for fat loss. Ensuring you have access to these will make it less likely that you overindulge. If your go-to snack for example is a Nakd bar, but all you have in the kitchen at the moment is bread, leftover dinner and crisps, what are you going to do? Stock up and stay on track!
4. LIMIT TAKEAWAYS
This will help lower your calorie intake as they contain so much more salt, oil, and whatever else they throw in than your home cooked meal does! Cooking from home does not only save you money; you are guaranteed to get better quality nutrition for your body, and remain on the calories in vs calories out method.
5. ENJOY THE PROCESS
Loving your food not letting nutrition get boring will help you on this journey. Any restrictions, foods you don’t enjoy, or extreme low calorie diets will result in failure from the get-go.
We’re all in this together!
Low Calorie Snack Ideas
If you don’t have these in your kitchen, I suggest you buy them!
If you don’t know how to lose weight or struggle to implement, try this:
In your daily diet, include 3 main meals (satisfy, don’t overeat), plus 2 snacks!
Fat loss doesn’t need to be boring, most of these snacks are under 200 or even 100 calories. Including ice cream! A variety of protein, fruit & veg, and a zero calorie drink.
Having had some feedback from you, you may not have heard this type of information before. There are a lot of charlatans in this industry – those that don’t have a clue, and those whose pal/former trainer said ‘you can’t have this or that’ The amount of misinformation out there is shockingly bad.
I don’t regard myself as knowing everything, but I know enough to help you drop body fat and create a calorie deficit, I have a platform of endless results.
Don’t be lost in your journey. To achieve fat loss, calories are all that matter.
