So this is a pretty important lesson because I'm going to show you how to let go of being a perfectionist so that you can actually track your calories consistently over time and make progress. So a lot of people will give up on calorie counting because they're trying to perfect and they might not be able to find the food that they want. Or let's say they, they go to like some all you can eat barbecue or something, and they don't want to try to search for 100 different foods, and then they just give up and they throw in the towel. And then from then on, they just stop tracking. The important thing is not to be perfect, but to be consistent and to at least be in the ballpark of you know what your calories are going to be. Even the stuff that you track that's verified and that's listed in the database isn't going to be 100% accurate from time from time to time so you don't have to stress out too much about it.

The important thing is You have your daily calorie target. And you want to keep tracking towards that number each day and stick with it as for as long as you can until you see results. So you don't want to give up just if you hit a small Roadblock, like going to a barbecue and having a lot of different foods to enter and not knowing how to do that. So here's a quick tip that is going to help you to avoid the being a perfectionist. And trust me, it's hard for me because I'm a perfectionist myself. So I know how badly I want to make everything 100% accurate and perfect, but it's not always practical.

So if you want to make calorie counting work for you, you just got to let it let go of you know it just and just accept it from time to time. It's not going to be accurate. Most of the time, it's probably not going to be 100% accurate, but the important thing is you're directionally correct and you're tracking towards your goal each week so so I showed you earlier how to track how to create Food and I've created a food for myself called the all you can eat meal to a yc meal. And the purpose of that food is for me to just have something to put down and to record. when things aren't perfect when I go to an all you can eat meal or a barbecue or something where I'm sampling lots of different foods and they're 100 different things and I don't want to try to enter them all in the database.

So instead of giving up and and not tracking for that day, I have something to put down. So let me show you what the all you can eat meal looks like for me. So let's say I want to I'm just having a total blowout day and I'm like at a barbecue or something and I just want to track something. I don't want to miss my streak of not tracking and give up so I've created this food under my foods like like I showed you earlier how to create a food called the A yc email. And what this represents is basically the most amount of I think I can stomach in one sitting. Without just like, I doubt I would be able to eat more than this in one sitting.

So that's how I came up with it. That's those are the only criteria that's the only criteria used to come up with it. And I just estimated that it would be about 70 grams of protein, 100 grams of fat and 200 grams of carbs, I have no basis for that. I just know that. If I total those macros up, they seem reasonable for about a 2000 calorie meal or 1980 if you if you add them up together. So that's my all you can eat meal is 1900 and 80 calories, that's about as much as I can eat one sitting and so next time I need to track something quickly.

And I don't want to go through and figure out like what all the different hundred things were that I ate that day. Like if it was an event like a barbecue or something, or a Food Sampling, you know, I'll just throw in all you can eat meal and be done with it and then I move on the next day and get in Keep going with my tracking. So it wasn't perfect that day. But at least I did something at least I kept that streak going, and I recorded something. And this is a strategy I think everybody should use to help them stay on track, so that they don't get frustrated and give up. Because if you want to see results, you're gonna have to, you're gonna have to do this for a consistent period of time.

And, you know, everybody's going to have these blowouts once in a while where they don't know what they hate, or they don't know exactly how much they ate and, and maybe I ate $3,000 instead of 2000. Maybe I eat less, but it doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is you're tracking and you're being consistent and you're not giving up so. So that's my my final tip on, on how to count calories, making it a lifestyle and making it part of your day to day and just realizing you're not going to be perfect. But if you stick with it over time, you know, you'll see the results. So so that's it all you can eat me all.

You know if it works for you if that's something that you think will be helpful for your tracking and you can create something similar
