Track your food intake to avoid unintentional overconsumption.Focus on Calorie Intake, Protein, and Fiber: When starting out, focus on tracking your total calorie intake, protein intake, and fiber intake. This provides a strong foundation for healthy eating.Prioritize Meal Prep: Planning and prepping your meals in advance helps you stay on track and avoid unhealthy choices when hunger strikes. Batch cook proteins and create multiple meals for the week.
