2. Check your macros
The distribution of carbohydrates, protein, and fat in your total daily calories should be optimally 50:30:20.
This can help keep hunger, satiety, belly fat, and weight under control.
For example, if your basal metabolic rate, along with your physical activity, is 1,800 calories, you should eat 900 calories from good carbs (vegetables, fruits, beans, and whole grains).
Another 540 calories should come from healthy protein sources like nuts or lean meats, and 360 calories from fats like olive oil, soybean oil, salmon, or walnuts.
