Plan for Success!   

Plan out your meals for the week and make a grocery list

Pre-plan meals in a food tracker - reduce surprises!

• Start by planning protein

• Fill with quality fats

• Add carbs (track total carbs)

You are not locked into one set of macros (fats, protein, and carbs), set your amount in the tracker and try it out for a couple of weeks, you can make minor adjustments to make it sustainable over time

Keep it simple! There are great low-carb recipes available. Remember, recipes are great, but you can also keep it simple by cooking a protein in healthy fat and then have some sides with whole foods vegetables or fruit. It doesn’t have to be fancy or complicated. 

Give yourself grace! It may take some time to build the habit of tracking. You may need to explore the app to learn the features and how to add foods and customize recipes. 

One note of caution: some apps allow user submissions. This is great because more foods are available on the app. This is not so great because some of the information isn’t correct. Be watchful. The more you use your tracker the more you will catch the errors.
