CICOWLF.com STEP 02 TIPS for a STRONG START TIP #1 Get a digital kitchen scale. These can be found online for $10. They measure in ounces and grams. Also get measuring spoons and measuring cups. We believe these to be vital tools for your success and we strongly recommend you make the investment. Studies show that the overwhelming majority of people underestimate their caloric intake, often by as much as 50 percent! So if your TDEE is 2000 calories per day to maintain, and you’re shooting for 1500 calories per day for weight loss, but you are estimating calories rather than measuring them accurately, the studies say that if you believe you’re eating 1500 calories, you’re probably consuming closer to 2250. Which means not only will you not lose weight, you’ll GAIN weight! Sound familiar? Measuring is important to your success. Don’t cut corners. You owe yourself your best effort.
