You're probably eating more than you think
Never, ever, ever assume you're in a calorie deficit just because you're eating healthy…
EVEN IF your meals are clean, balanced, and nothing like what you used to eat…
If you do, you'll spend months frustrated, convinced your body is broken — while oils, sauces, handfuls of nuts, and "small bites" quietly push you over your maintenance calories every single day. Healthy food still has calories. All of it adds up.
Instead, track everything you eat for two weeks — honestly, accurately, including the extras. Find out what your macro numbers actually are before you decide your body isn't responding.
