You could be someone who struggles to stop at one bite of something.
Or regularly binges on something.
Might eat the same amount as someone who is just as tall as you.
You are of slight built and you have time establishing how much you need to eat.
Weighs just as much as you but they are a leaner 70 kgs versus your pudgier 70 kgs.
You stock your fridge with the most thoughtful ingredients and haven’t seen the weighing scale or measuring tape budge.
There are all the things you do to lose inches. And all the challenges you face: impulse control, portion control, using food to cope with stress and counterproductive existing habits.
All of this can be real. And you know what gets harder? Maintaining a sustained calorie deficit that gives your body the opportunity to eat through existing energy stores since your intake isn’t enough to get through a day of surviving, living and being active.
In my experience, most people go with their feelings of how much they are eating. I am eating so little. Or my servings are so small. But a little digging reveals, they are eating more than they think. And they’re using more oil than they thought. Snacking more than they thought. And just getting energy from places they didn’t think they were getting any from.
