The reasoning behind this is that counting your food energy intake per day helps you with &#8216;calories in calories out&#8217; rule.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you eat more calories than you burn, it leads to weight gain but when you do the opposite, you begin to see the changes in your weight and fat pocket. Counting calories helps you determine how much fewer calories to consume per day\/week to lose weight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the easiest ways to do this is by using a reputable calorie counting app like the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/betterme-calorie-tracker\/\">BetterMe Calorie Counter<\/a>. <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you follow what the app says, then you will start seeing some incredible changes in your weight loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&#038;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Weight_Loss_Tips_For_Beginners\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-32928 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/6-12-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"weight loss tips for beginners\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/6-12.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/6-12-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/6-12.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/6-12-1636x920.jpg 1636w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/6-12.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Count_Your_Macros\"><\/span><b>Count Your Macros<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While counting calories is something that many of us know about, counting macros seems to be something left for athletes, nutritionists, bodybuilders, and gym rats. However, beginners in fitness could also benefit from doing this. Like counting calories, macronutrient counting helps with weight loss and can promote healthier eating and improved diet quality. Ps. your macronutrients are your carbs, proteins, and fats.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The amount of macronutrients you require a day, like calorie requirement, depends on your age, weight and level of physical activity. The Institute of Medicine recommends the following intake (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/16004827\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">):<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carbs: 45 &#8211; 65% of total calories<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fats: 20 &#8211; 35% of total calories<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proteins: 10 -35% of total calories<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That being said some experts recommend the following ratios (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prevention.com\/weight-loss\/diets\/a19804935\/macros-diet\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">):<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">30% protein, 30% fat, 40% carbs &#8211; for those who workout for an hour or less a day<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">30% protein, 25% fat, 45% carbs &#8211; for anyone who exercises for one to two hours a day<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do you calculate macros manually? Well, the process can be a little complicated. You have to remember how much calories per gram each macronutrient has. I.e. carbs provide 4 calories per gram, proteins 4 calories per gram, and fats provide 9 calories per gram,-\u00a0 then you have to take this and work it out and make sure that your intake stays within the recommended calorie intake and ratios\/percentages.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This sounds complicated and could put anyone off macronutrient counting. Instead of doing it like so, choose the easier way out by using reputable apps that will calculate your recommended intake for you and update your intake every time you log in for a meal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/macro-calculator\/\">Macro Calculator: How Much Of Each Nutrient Does Your Body Need?<\/a><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Try_Meal_Prepping\"><\/span><b>Try Meal Prepping<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meal or food prepping does not only save time, money and energy but also helps prevent food waste. In terms of tips for weight loss for beginners, it can help with calorie counting. If you prepare and portion your food ahead of time, you can ensure that each meal and snack is as healthy as can be and fits perfectly within your recommended calorie intake. It also prevents you from making unhealthy food choices when you are too busy, tired or unmotivated to make something (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hsph.harvard.edu\/nutritionsource\/meal-prep\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">13<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&#038;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Weight_Loss_Tips_For_Beginners\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-31428 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frame-4332-1024x576.png\" alt=\"weight loss tips for beginners\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frame-4332.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frame-4332-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frame-4332.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frame-4332.png 1344w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Apply_The_%E2%80%98Half_Plate_Rule\"><\/span><b>Apply The &#8216;Half Plate Rule&#8217;<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The &#8216;half-plate&#8217; rule requires you to fill up half your plate with fruits and vegetables, leaving the other half split between protein and complex carbs.

Eating more protein is among the good weight loss tips for beginners as it boosts your metabolism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your body uses more energy when digesting protein than it does when breaking down either carbs or fats.

This means that you fast for 16 hours (including time spent asleep at night) and eat during an eight-hour feeding window. This method is not as extreme as some and can help you space out your meals which keeps you from eating too much during a very short window. Keep in mind that intermittent fasting is not safe for everyone, and you should discuss it with your healthcare provider before starting a regimen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&#038;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Weight_Loss_Tips_For_Beginners\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-31930 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/10-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"weight loss tips for beginners\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/10-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/10-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/10-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/10-1-1636x920.jpg 1636w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/10-1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vegetarian_Diets\"><\/span><b>Vegetarian Diets<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While veganism is classified as a plant-based\/<a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/vegetarian-diet-plan\/\">vegetarian diet<\/a> and has impressive benefits, it can be quite restrictive.
