If you are looking to loose weight you are most likely in a calorie deficit. (You are eating less calories than normal.)

Being in a calorie deficit can be extremely difficult, some people may struggle! But that’s ok.

Here’s a few tips to eat less calories during the day.

Have a good breakfast.

If you wake up and have a nice big breakfast the chances are you won’t feel hungry until around lunch time, and that’s what you want. 

Yes it is a good idea to eat a big breakfast but not a big fry up with lots of fatty foods!!

Try to have a substantial amount of carbs and some protein. What I often have is an egg, 2 Weetabix biscuits and a glass of water, this fills me up until my lunch and that’s what you want, little to no snacks during the day.

Experiment with different foods, see what you like and what will fill you up!

Set treat or reward days

Set a day were you might have a treat or a cheat meal or for the adults perhaps a drink.

If you set these days at the start of the week, you most likely won’t want to eat junk food the rest of the day, because you know if you eat good you can reward yourself.

Calorie count your meals

You might not know how many calories are in each food. This can be a major set back check out the blog Calorie Counting. In this I talk about how you can easily track your calories.

Having healthy snacks

If you feel hungry during the day of course you should have something. It’s what you eat is the big problem. 

There are so many recipes and cook books out there, that will show you how to make healthy low calorie foods. I would recommend checking them out, give it a google and see what you can find.

One company in particular that I find absolutely brilliant is The Skinny Food Co. They have a large range of low calorie sauces, snacks, flavour drops and spreads!

These are not the only company out there, there are hundreds and thousands! but I would really recommend checking them out.

Applying these tips to your everyday routine will help you to stay in a calorie deficit and in time loose weight, but remember “Rome wasn’t built in a day”, results take time.
