In this YouTube short, Eric Roberts outlines a simple, actionable plan for maintaining a calorie deficit. He recommends eating three balanced meals per day—each containing a protein source, a fruit or vegetable, and a carbohydrate of choice. He advises against skipping breakfast, suggesting it can lead to overeating later. For snacks, he limits intake to two per day, requiring at least one snack to be a protein or fruit, while the second can be any food. He also mandates that all beverages be zero‑calorie, explicitly allowing diet soda. Finally, he directs viewers to a link in his bio to calculate their personalized calorie‑deficit target.
