1. Track What You Eat<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I think we all tend to underestimate just how much we\u2019re really eating.<\/p>\n

I know I did before I started tracking my food intake.<\/p>\n

What I thought I was eating vs. what I was actually eating\u2026\u00a0 different.<\/p>\n

And since \u201ceyeballing it\u201d just isn\u2019t very accurate, that\u2019s where tracking what you eat comes into play.<\/p>\n

By tracking your food, you\u2019ll learn about what helps you lose weight vs. what doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

And you can make adjustments to your diet accordingly.<\/p>\n

Two popular ways to track your food are calorie-counting and macro-counting.<\/strong>\u00a0Each method is built on eating a target number of calories. As long as you\u2019re at or below your target calories each day, you should lose weight.<\/p>\n
