It's really though if you had set a goal for your weight and calories intake and got frustrated the next week because you did not loss even a pound when you step in the weighing scale.
You probably do not know how to count calories that your body is taking or you had taken it for granted instead.
Denial is the number one pitfalls of a diet plan.
You don't admit the true calorie count that you're taking daily.
It's possible that you had set target calories in every meal you're eating but you deny for yourself to count those what you call "nibbles" that you insist along the day like you know "a handful of chips or cookies here" or maybe " just one" candy here.
Ignorance is another downfall of diet plan.
You probably do not know the number of calories in the Famous McDonald's hamburger or sunday.
So you just assume that it is just low.
It's not only important that you just have the meal calorie count all the time you eat but it is also very important to have a system to monitor and record your calories that you are burning out through exercise on your fitness program as well.
An effective way on how to count calories is by having daily journal on the start, religiously taking notes of every bite you're eating.
Nowadays some restaurants lists their nutritional content of their menu so even if you're not eating at home you will be able to track the calorie intake you had along the day.
