2. Use a scale to track your meals.
As we said before, tracking calories is essential, especially in the first months of a diet. Approximately estimating calories may be the first step, but it can also be counterproductive.
Instead, use a scale. As tedious as it is, it is the only way to ensure you write down the right amount of calories and avoid extra calories.
A healthy diet is all about nutrients. So make sure you eat plenty of proteins, fiber, healthy fats, and vitamins.
