Most people quit tracking calories because it's tedious and they can't tell if they're eating enough to build muscle. You need to hit protein targets and calorie goals, but actually consuming that much food is harder than it sounds.
So I've got my fitness pal. I started using it to track my food. Not because I want to lose a ton of weight, but I actually really want to get clear on what's going into my body.
Yeah.
If I want to put muscle on, I need protein, and there's a certain amount of fiber I want to hit. You know, you want to poo. Nice. Let's get honest here. That's important.
The whole process of tracking isn't easy. It's simple. It makes sense, but it isn't actually easy because it takes time. And that's where people fall off. Like, you want to gain muscle, you going to be needing to eat in a surplus. If you don't know what you're eating, you don't know if you're in a surplus. Which I.
Didn'T.
No, you can't just app your food because you might be under eating at the moment. That's why you can't gain muscle without even knowing.
I actually struggle to get in all of the calories I'm supposed to be eating.
Little baby bird.
Yeah, totally like trying to eat, and I just can't get it in. And so that's a goal for me is to try and get enough food in.
