Over the last few years I have adopted the practice of setting short term goals in my fitness life in regards to nutrition. Yes, I am like many others want to see my physical shape change at the speed of light but it takes TIME, plenty of it. My nutritional diet today, to maintain 10 % - 12% body fat year round, has taken over 5 years to develop. I just didn't wake up one day and say I was changing everything I eat today but I took it one step at a time. I tried no fad diets because I do not believe in them. I set monthly goals early on, i.e. this month I will no longer order french fries when eating out, and gradually I added a couple items per month so that I could adjust easily to a new eating lifestyle. Yes, I could have change at a more rapid pace than on that took 5 years to accomplish but looking back it was right for me and in the end I did it.
Bottom line, this is just a small piece of taking control of your diet but you have to know what you need to eat in calories per day? What is the macronutrient ratios of what you are eating? Once you have a baseline knowing what to adjust will be more clear.
Have a great day.
