Whilst reducing calories in an attempt to lose bodyfat, one can often struggle with feeling satieted (full) after meals.
Being overly hungry is a big reason many people cannot remain compliant to their diet and tend to binge on excess calories.
Here are a few little things I tend to do whilst dieting on lower calories, to help keep my food volume up, whilst keeping my meals very similar to what i had been doing (textrure/taste wise), but my calories down.
- Eat chicken breast instead of chicken thigh (lower fat).
- Eat kangaroo mince or minced chicken breast instead of beef or pork mince (lower fat).
- Eat pumpkin instead of potato or sweet potato (lower carb).
- Eat non fatty white fish instead of salmon (lower fat).
I find all these alternatives allow me to psychologically and physically feel like I am maintaining my usual diet, but also drop my calories considerably at the same time, allowing me to lose some body fat.
Time to get shredded.
Eat well, train hard and sleep lots. <3
