Cooking changes the water content of food, either making it more or less calorie dense per 100 grams,” wrote Hawys. Also read | Calorie deficit for weight loss: Does it work?

Track your food:
Download an app that helps in tracking the calories of the food consumed. This does the job for us, and also helps us to understand the portions and recipes.
Track how much calories are burnt:
“Buy a Fitbit and get into the habit of wearing it every day. Your phone is okay but it’s not very accurate and means you have to carry it everywhere. This will vary day-to-day and you don’t need to eat them back. Focus on keeping your intake consistent,” wrote Hawys.
Track cardio time:
Hawys suggested that cardio should be tracked separately, and walking should not be included in it. “They are two separate things,” Hawys added.
Log your progress:
In a Google sheet, log your progress every day and track the changes. This will help you to keep a tab on everything and track the weekly progress. Also read | Woman who lost 72 kg breaks down 5 things she did every day that made the weight loss possible
Stop comparing yourself with others:
“Remember how much depends on you. Your calories, cardio, weight sessions, steps, protein and fluids are all dependent on your individual circumstances. Comparing your calories, etc to others is a guide, but focus on finding your normal,” wrote Hawys D.
