4. Calorie counting, calorie intake <strong>and</strong> food diaries<br />
In this section, I’ll explain the two best methods for tracking <strong>and</strong> logging food <strong>and</strong> if this isn’t your<br />
cup of tea, then I have added a section called “just be healthy” that will help you to make<br />
progress.<br />
Why track your calories?<br />
To achieve excellent results in body composition, health <strong>and</strong> <strong>performance</strong> calorie counting <strong>and</strong> food<br />
logging is a great way to make sure you are eating the right amount of food <strong>and</strong> nutrients daily. It<br />
will also help to ensure you are taking in the correct number of calories for the results you desire.<br />
Following macros <strong>and</strong> micronutrient variables to help in the body’s composition.<br />
The application you can use is called My fitness pal<br />
You simply input all the food you eat daily. It will show you how many calories you have eaten <strong>and</strong><br />
what macro they come from, plus numerous other information results including micro nutrients <strong>and</strong><br />
essential vitamins <strong>and</strong> minerals.<br />
To help achieve the results you are working for I suggest you keep using this application after you<br />
have determined how many calories a day you will be consuming.<br />
Over time this will become a habit that you can always come back to when you want to rein in your<br />
diet <strong>and</strong> see results.<br />
It’s also a great way to maintain accountability throughout the training phase, ensuring that you are<br />
as consistent as possible.<br />
There are two options for deciding calorie intakes during the training phase <strong>and</strong> I have listed them<br />
on the following two pages.<br />
