1. Keep nutrition simple 2. Move daily, even if it’s short 3. Build habits, not perfection 4. Being in a manageable calorie deficit Comment with which rule you want help mastering.
Here you go sir! 1. Keeping nutrition simple - Eat mostly lean protein, veggies, and simple carb sources - Repeat the same 5–7 meals you enjoy - Keep snacks pre-planned - Drink water before every meal - Always start your meals with a lean protein 2. Manageable Calorie Deficit Think slightly less than you burn, not extreme dieting: - Eat about 500 calories below maintenance - Prioritize protein to stay full - Build plates with ½ veggies, ¼ protein, ¼ carbs - Track your weekly trend, not a single day - Aim for 1–2 lbs/week — slow, steady, sustainable - You can calculate your maintenance calories using this calculator https://www.calculator.net/calorie-calculator.html One pound of fat is 3500 calories. In order to lose one pound of fat you must be in a calorie deficit. So if your deficit is 500 calories per day, you would lose 1lb of fat per week. You can speed things up by burning extra calories by walking, biking or any activity you like. I’d be happy to chat about anything you want. I hope this was helpful. Coach Mason
