A very common mistake I see when people are tracking is that they don’t count their binges.
What do I mean by this?
People come to me all the time, “Jake, I’m not losing weight but I’m eating in my deficit!” But what they don’t account for is late night pantry rummaging, eating their kids’ leftovers, and weekend nights out.
They simply say, “I messed up last night… I’m not going to track it.”
You should enjoy experiences in life. However, if you don’t track at all or don’t track accurately, to put it simply: you can’t manage what you don’t measure.
In order to lose weight, you need to consistently be in a caloric deficit. For example, if you were in a 500 calorie deficit per day, you would lose 1lb a week. If you are following your deficit and logging 6 days a week and there is ONE night you don’t track and go ham, you have no idea how many calories you are actually consuming. This can potentially pull you out of your deficit and hinder your progress.
So, be honest with yourself and your logs.
