Not sure where to start with the diet? We have you! 🙌

Last week I received a question from a reader who led to a good discussion, so I thought I would share it with you here! You wrote:

“I think I know what to do with workouts, but nutrition? I’m not sure where to start.”

Don’t worry, I have you! 💪

At Nerd Fitness we see most of our customers in one of one of the traps three Starting points in terms of nutrition:

🥦 option 1: habitual changes (about 50% of people)

We choose one Small habit as the food of protein at breakfast or preparing a meal and we concentrate on this one change for a few weeks and follow how to do it.

As soon as that feels solid, we add the next one. Slow and steady, but incredibly effective.

✅ great for: people who want to build sustainable habits without being overwhelmed.

Of course you may think about yourself: “This is great, matt, but What habits do I actually start with?“

It varies to person, based on the current eating patterns, their goals, etc., but Steve and I put one together ​Recommended sequence here​. Of course, think, like the pirate code, less similar rules and more guidelines.

✅ great for: people who want structure but do not want to follow any numbers.

🔢 Option 3: Calories and protein pursue (about 25% of people)

This includes the logging of your meals and the goal of striving for certain goals every day.

We usually recommend that you just start with just ​protein​ And ​Calories​ To keep it easy.

✅ great for: people who structure data, structure and like exactly.

Here is the thing:

The best option is the one that fits You.

Some of our customers move through all three over time.

Heck, I started with habits, then use the record method and then follow myself for a bit and then return to the habits.

All of these frameworks are only tools – so we would like to select the right one for the job (ie the one who suits you best!)

🧠 If you are not sure where to start, try to try it Habitual changes First.

But if it feels too slow or too vague? Pivot to another approach!
