Repetition and whole foods seems to be the sweet spot
I have been on and off with MFP since about 2011. The friction of logging food has always been my biggest barrier to consistency.
But now I’m almost 40, I’m finding the need to calorie count more important than ever.
But I’m also busier than ever (work, managing a house, family).
What seems to be working this time, reducing the friction most is sticking to whole foods and eating the same foods (albeit a variety) each week.
I’ve finally learned that a handful of Haribo really is harming my daily allowance. Etc. these “harmless” grabs compound and stack up in the shape of tummy fat.
Anyway. That’s my thoughts. Obvious to some. Hopefully helpful to someone.
Here’s my breakfast plus x2 double espressos and a cup of tea with milk.
