the Heart of Preparing

Finding Joy in a Self Reliant Life | *Family*Home*Life*

Today, for baby step #2 make a list. Write down all the fruits and vegetables you like to eat.  If you want to drop a few pounds begin with a healthy low-calorie goal (mine is 1300 per day and my husband shoots for 1500). *note: it is not recommended you eat fewer than 1000 calories per day. See your doctor for specific questions or if you have other medical conditions.

I try to shoot for 40% protein, 30% Carbs and 30% Fat.

You don’t have to count your calories forever, but I suggest you do, to begin with, just to get a feel for what works for you and so you get an idea of how much you are REALLY eating. I am using my fitness pal app to track my calories. It has been an eye-opener on how much food I was dumping into my body. Do what works for you. My husband and I started with a notebook just jotting down what we ate through the day. It seems simple, but it’s the little things at the beginning that help you make progress in the end.
