Very often my clients will say ‘I ate out, I don’t know how to track this.’
First of all let me start by saying that you do not have to track each and every meal is that’s not your stick. But if you do, and especially if your goal is fat loss, you can absolutely do it. Here’s how I do it ➡️
Step 1
Take photos showing the whole dish and any possible side dish. Also take a photo of the of the full menu description. Or include it in your prompt.
Step 2
Enjoy your food. Eat until you’re full, then stop.
Put your phone down, enjoy the company. Enjoy the surroundings. You’re not just here to eat but also to take in everything that’s around you. You’re also not here to only worry about how much or how little food you’re wearing, or what you are eating.
Step 3
Take a photo of any leftovers.
Step 4
Upload to ChatGPT with this prompt:
This was my meal out today at [INSERT YOUR LOCATION]. I had [DISH]. The last picture is what I left. Give me an estimate of calories and macros.’
Step 5
The result.
You probably don’t need all these details but here you go.
Final explanation and numbers.
It doesn’t have to be 100% exact. The truth is that no tracking is 100% exact.
But it just means that you have an estimate. And instead of writing the day off, you have an option to log the numbers.
