How to Plan Your Nutrition & Meals
To lose weight, you first need to know how much calories you need to be consuming each day. To calculate your total daily calorie intake, click here! We will count your required calories based on your gender, age, height, and other measurements.
You will also need to make a few changes to your meal composition. Here are a few of our suggestions you can follow for 10-weeks:
1. More Proteins, Less Carbs
Studies have shown the effectiveness of a low-carb diet is weight loss and the prevention of several chronic diseases such as diabetes. After several days of following a low-carb diet, you can often immediately see results when you step on the weight scale. However, do note that this diet needs to be sustained to maintain your weight loss. Learn more about carbs in sports nutrition here!
What you can do is to replace your intake of starchy carbs and sugar with vegetables, fruits, as well as protein-rich foods. Incorporating more protein into your diet can also help reduce appetite and boost your metabolism, which means you can burn more calories.
2. Reduce Your Calories Intake
As we’ve said earlier, counting your calories one of the key factors to lose weight. You can’t lose fat without cutting your calorie intake. If you need some tips to help you reduce calorie intake, here it is:
- Don’t snack in between meals
- Avoid using condiments – Sauces, salad dressings, and similar food products contain high calories per serving, so cut down your consumption if you can.
- Eat more fruits and vegetables – They are high in fibers, high-volume, and low-calorie. Eating more veggies will help give you a feeling of fullness.
- Avoid drinking high-calorie food – Instead of drinking soda, processed juice, or other drinks that are high in sugar, you can drink water, tea, or black coffee that does not contain any calories. Drinking more water often can also help alleviate hunger.
If you find it difficult to count your calories for every meal, no worries! You can try one of our Eatology meal plans. We will provide you with highly nutritious meals that are within your calorie level so you don’t have to worry about over-eating again.
3. Eat Fresh, Whole Foods. Don’t Eat Processed Junk Foods!
Processed foods, such as baked goods, donuts, chips, fast foods, and others are high in calories. The rule of thumb is: the more processed a food is, the higher the calories they contain given everything else is the same.

In addition, a lot of highly processed foods also contain high levels of salt. Not only can salt increase your risks of cardiovascular diseases, but studies also show that there is a link between salt and weight gain. Higher salt diets are linked with higher body fat.
Many highly-processed foods also make it very easy for you to overeat and therefore accumulate a lot of calories.
