Stop counting calories!

RULE #1

Forget counting, forget measuring, forget math (I did that a long time ago)! The reason? It's not necessary. Would you rather know how many calories you've consumed for the day or know how good you look in the mirror? If you're eating the right food then counting calories and portioning will not become a factor.

MEAL PLANNING

-Note: I've had requests for vegeterian dishes. I'll try my best to add it to my meal planning.

Remember you can always supplement any meat with Tofu, Tempah, or Soy.

Just be careful of the amount of sodium.

FINAL THOUGHTS

You can count calories occasionally but don't obsess over them. One example of when counting calories is okay is when you're choosing your protein bar. Look for a bar that is 12 grams of sugar or less and around 280-310 calories. Anything more and you might as well have a Snickers. At least it tastes better.
