Hello Tuesday and fat secret friends! Tip time!
I wanted to list the things that I think contributed to me meeting my weight loss goals in hopes that it may help someone else. And please remember, this is what has worked for ME, your mileage will vary. I will post one tip per weekday.
Tip 13 of 25
When logging food in fat secret, do it in a way that helps you reach your goals. If you are trying to lose weight then always overestimate the amount of food you log just a little bit. For example, if I have a piece of chicken and I don’t have a way to weight it, I take my best guess at how much it weighs then I add an ounce or so to ensure that I am not overeating. If I am trying to gain weight then I will underestimate the foods I log in fat secret. Of course measuring or weighing everything you eat is the best method of logging food but it isn’t always practical which is why I created this tip.

Hi Brent, I saw in your profile that you are tying to gain mass. How is that going? I plan to start my mass gaining phase around December.

I always over log my food .. sometimes I get in a hamster wheel cycle in my head 'if you aren't being accurate... how can you expect results' and then I remember 'oh, yeah, you can't math the weight off .. this is just an estimate'. The challenge is to not say 'well, B, you overlogged that 'thing' so you can have 'this thing' and not log it and it all equals out.'

Thanks, all good advice.
I usually err on the generous side when I'm making a guestimate.
I think you have to weigh everything in the beginning though so that you know the size/weight of foods.
I've had a few shocks when I've realised what I considered to be a normal portion turned out to be huge (and way more calories, sugar or fat than I expected).
