Weight Loss

Key Points

• To lose weight, you need to be in a calorie deficit: eat less than what you burn
• 0.8g protein per pound of bodyweight (aim for whole food sources)
• Calorie Deficit: multiply bodyweight in lbs x 12
• Use a food tracking app like MyFitnessPal
• Don’t forget about counting the oils/fats, they add up quickly
• Don’t want to track, use the MyPlate Method: 1/2 plate non-starchy vegetables, 1/4 protein, 1/4 carbohydrates
• Drinks 10 kcal per serving, sugar-free
• Alcohol, choose “skinny” drinks with no sugar/juice, light beer or wine
