4 steps to creating a calorie deficit!
So you *know* you need to be in a calorie deficit to lose weight... But how the heck do you create one?
Follow these 4 steps for a rough estimate of daily caloric intake:
1 Multiply your goal weight (in pounds) by 11-12.
2 Consistently eat within that calorie range for a minimum of 30-45 days. The key here is consistency đ
3 Monitor results AND how youâre feeling hunger-wise. If youâre super hungry all the time, your results probably wonât be sustainable.
4 Make adjustments to your calories only if needed.
A few important things I want to add:
âď¸ These are general guidelines and recommendations so should be taken with a grain of salt. I use more comprehensive calculations to come up with my clientsâ macros and calorie goals
âď¸ Remember you donât have to to count calories in order to successfully lose weight, just like you donât need to utilize online banking in order to save money. Itâs simply a tool to use to bring clarity to how many calories youâre consuming.
