You're Not Watching Your Portion Sizes

Weight loss is all about creating a sustained calorie deficit over time. You could be eating the most healthy foods, but if you're overdoing your portion sizes, your weight loss can stall. Even healthy foods can contain a surprising number of calories. A few handfuls of nuts or a generous spread of nut butter can add up to the same number of calories as a small meal. If you want to be sure your daily food intake is low enough to lose weight, budget your calories. You can use a calorie counter, such as MyFitnessPal, to set weight loss goals and track what you're eating.
