In this guide, I’ll show you exactly how to track your caloric intake — the same system I use with my coaching clients when getting them started.

🔑 Understand the Basics

• Fat loss comes down to being in a caloric deficit (burning more calories than you eat).
• Sounds simple, right? But the challenge is… how do you know if you’re overeating? After all, after all its not like we have digits floating above our heads showing us our exact daily intake.

👉 The answer: you have to TRACK what goes into your mouth.

📊 Why Tracking Works

Here’s the good news:

1. ✅ You don’t need to be 100% accurate — you just need to be consistent. Over time, your weight and progress photos will tell you if you’re in a deficit or surplus .
2. ✅ Even if labels are a little off, estimating to the best of your ability still works.

⚖️ Alternative Approaches

If you hate calorie tracking, your next best options are:

• 🥩 Macro-restricting diets (Paleo, Keto, Carnivore, etc.)
• ⏰ Intermittent Fasting. If you do this then you should track your fasting windows using Cronometer. To date this is the most simple, user friendly tool which i’ve come across
