In this episode, we dive into the relatable struggles of calorie tracking and unexpected weight gain, inspired by one woman’s eye-opening journey.

After “mysteriously” packing on pounds, one Redditor — a 27-year-old, 5’8” professional —discovered the culprit: underestimating her daily intake. (You can see the original post HERE.)

With breakfast at 6am, and a long workday ahead, she’s already burned through most of her calories by 3pm, leaving just 300 to spare. Sound familiar?

In today's episode, we explore the real challenges of managing hunger when life’s schedule doesn’t align with weight loss goals — early mornings, long work days, and the temptation to ditch the plan entirely.

From surviving on protein powder to choking down plain chicken breast, or even saying “screw it” and stuffing yourself like a Thanksgiving turkey, we unpack practical strategies and mindset shifts to navigate how to eat less without feeling restricted or deprived.

Whether you’re a meticulous tracker or wanting to ditch calorie counting altogether, this episode offers insights to keep you in-control and on track toward your goals.
