Sometimes, you just gotta take an extra second to think before you eat. This is NOT DIFFICULT!!
Would you skip lunch in favor of eating a larger (and cleaner) dinner? Probably not. This is NOt a good idea, and I will tell you why.
Here's the thing: your daily caloric intake isn't like a checking account. You can't put in and take out as you please. Sure, it's "calories in, calories out," but only to a point!
It's not possible to "save up your calories" for a large dinner by missing meals or eating smaller portions. Your body can only process food at a specific rate. Having one large meal to digest takes longer, less nutrients are absorbed, and the higher amount of insulin needed to process whatever you've eaten take its toll on your body's shape!
You can't make up for a missed workout by hitting the gym twice as hard the following day. Your muscles are not built and your fat is not melted by one super-hard workout. It's training those muscles OVER TIME that creates the physique of champions. Your muscle mass is built during the time you're resting AFTER the gym, not while you're there!
Your body needs time to process what you do to it, and it's not instantaneous!
Decision Time!
We aren't always given easy decisions when it comes to our fitness and nutrition routines. If it were easy to lose (and maintain) weight, 300 MILLION PEOPLE worldwide wouldn't be classified as obese! (Source: American Medical Association)
There Are Multiple Factors That Contribute To Our Excuses!
Sometimes you forget your lunch at home and have to decide between not eating a meal or eating junk instead.
Sometimes you have a flat tire and can't make it to the gym that day.
Sometimes you don't get enough sleep and make poor eating decisions all day long.
Sometimes, you just gotta take an extra second to think before you eat!
