Why does the site only track calories and fiber?
Although it would be useful to track every nutrient you eat, it wouldn’t be practical. I’ve found that clients get great results when tracking their calorie and fiber intake. The calorie intake assures that you take in enough energy to fuel your fat-burning machine without a surplus. The fiber intake assures that the food that you are eating is a high-quality fuel. Even though you don’t track your fat intake, it is important to avoid eating too many saturated fats. It’s also important to eat enough of the healthy unsaturated fats. Good fats include avocado, canola and olive oils, fish, nuts and more. Saturated fats are found in meat and butter, among other sources. Just read the food labels. It’s also important to make sure that you’re getting enough protein. Most people naturally get enough protein when they eat a high-fiber diet. Just make sure to eat at least three servings per week of legumes, soy products, fish, meat or eggs.
