Counting calories as points
(Not WW)..
I like counting calories because it keeps me on track, but I hate logging the food I eat all the time in the app I have. So now I have started counting points . 100 cals ~ 1 point. Then I add it up mentally through the day as I eat. My goal is 1400 calories so 14 points. So breakfast with 2 eggs and milk is 2+1 = 3 points Lunch could be a medium portion of pasta = 4 points , one tsp pesto sauce = 1 pt 1 fruit at 4 pm = 1 point So at this point, I know I have 5 points left for dinner and I stick to it. I find this works a lot better for me than logging(i get lazy, dont log, forget etc..) exmaples: 1 slice bread = 1pt 1 tbsp oil = 1 pt 1 cornetto icecream = 3 pts 1 slice cheese = 1 pt 1 cup cooked chickpeas = 3 pts 10 almonds = 1 pt I dont worry about the exact calories, but points give me the will power to stick to the big picture, and stops me from binging. |
