Eat Twice As Much, Keep Calories The Same (Eat These Instead)

When people first start out with a “fat loss diet’, they are totally unaware of just how calorie dense typical food options that they’re used to eating really are. Which is one of the biggest diet mistakes around. Plus, is one of the main reasons why many who “eat clean” or “work hard” are still not losing stubborn fat. So, we’re going to showcase what 200 calories looks like in the most commonly reported “problem” foods (e.g. 200 calories of rice or pasta) so that you can see just how easy it is to overeat with these foods. We’ll then show you what 200 calories looks like with much better options (i.e. volume-dense foods) so that you can see just how much more food you could be eating and calories you could be saving with the right fat loss foods.

We’ll start off by looking at the most common problem protein sources that were reported from clients who were not losing fat. We have ground beef, pork chop, bacon, and fattier steak cuts (e.g. New York Strip). These are packed with a ton of additional fat and hence bring up their calorie counts quite a bit. For 200 calories, you’re not getting much at all and are easy to overeat. Some better options would be to sub the ground beef for extra lean ground turkey, sub the pork chop for chicken breast, sub the bacon for turkey bacon, and just be mindful of how many calories fattier cuts of steak can quickly add up to. Some other excellent leaner protein options are egg whites and even shrimp.

Next are carbs. Some of the most problematic snacks we found with clients who were not losing fat were oreos, potato chips, and high calorie cereals. When used in moderation these foods are fine, but there is no way you’re stopping at 200 calories, which just goes to show you how quickly the calories can add up without you being aware of it. Not to mention that the impact these foods will have on your hunger will be minimal. Better volume-dense food options include strawberries, carrots, puffed wheats, and plain air-popped popcorn.

Additional potentially problematic carb sources include pasta and rice. These food sources aren’t “bad” at all, but they are very easy to unknowingly overeat. I mean me being half Filipino I grew up eating rice pretty much every day, and whenever I’d have it, there’s no way I’d willingly be stopping at 200 calories worth of rice. A better option would thus be cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles.

Lastly, we have fats. Now all fats in general, even “healthy” sources will be very dense in calories. This doesn’t mean that you should avoid them since we do need a minimum amount of fat for our body’s to properly function. But, it does mean that you need to be more mindful of your portions whenever you eat them because of how easy they are to overeat. Chances are you’re eating way more than what you thought was just a serving of peanut butter or a serving of nuts. Which is why for these foods, it’s important to not only get yourself familiar with their serving sizes but actually spend the time to weigh out these foods when you consume them just to ensure you’re not overeating.

One more problematic fat worth mentioning is salad dressings. Oil based dressings don’t provide much at all for 200 calories. In fact, many of you likely use twice or even triple this amount whenever you have a salad. Which turns what you thought was a low calorie meal into the equivalent of a couple slices of pizza. Instead, either again measure these dressings when you use them, or one of the possible ‘food swaps’ you could do is opt for salad dressing options with lower calories.

Hopefully, you can see just how much more food you’re able to eat and how much easier it would be to suppress hunger and adhere to your diet by simply making smarter food choices. You can also see just how easy it is to essentially sabotage all the progress you may have made dieting throughout the week by making the diet mistake of letting loose on the weekends and unknowingly consuming thousands of additional calories from these more calorie dense foods. So, consider these swaps but more importantly just be mindful of your portions with certain foods. There are no real “good” or “bad” foods, just smarter food options depending on what your goal is.

And for those looking for a complete, all in one step by step program that shows you exactly what to eat and how to train week after week to transform your body in the most efficient way possible, then take the analysis quiz to discover which science-based program would be best for you and where your body is currently at below:

I just discovered high volume low calorie eating. It's insane. I can't even finish my meals because I'm too full. I feel like they should teach this stuff in health class in school.

Breakfast cereal was the biggest shock to me when I actually weighed out a correct serving size. It was absolutely dismal I was so shocked. A proper serving size literally was hardly a handful whereas if I was filling the bowl like I usually would I would have been having 5-6 servings!! No wonder it’s so easy to gain weight!

Has someone with an eating disorder this is really helpful as I'm trying to learn to eat more without triggering myself with the calorie amount. It's a step in the right direction.

Use smaller plates, bowls, and cups. You will want to fill up the plate. Less room, means less food. When you finish, ask yourself if you are still hungry, not whether you are full. When you are full, you've already eaten too much.

An interesting point I came across is that processed foods offer less resistance to chew and swallow, which makes them easier to consume in higher volumes. Foods like carrots, cauliflower, lettuce offer more resistance which makes them less attractive for snacking but great for moderating your gut-brain response

I have been counting calories, weighing EVERYTHING for the last 100 days, and I am down 35 lbs. I started out at 144 and now I'm 109, basically eating like this guy says, making better choices. Counting every calorie daily, even on the weekends, really causes you to think about what you're putting in your body! I love this video. Very well explained. I can usually eat breakfast AND lunch for around 200 calories.

A great alternative to ice cream I've found is greek yogurt frozen bars and they come in typical ice cream flavors like mint chocolate chip, birthday cake, etc and they're only 100 calories

Herbs and spices have also been a big help for me when transitioning to the healthier options. Put some salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder in some plain Greek yogurt and you've got a nice onion dip for those carrots. Definitely beats chomping on plain raw carrots. I know herbs/spices are the most basic food prep but I overlooked them for a long time.

As someone who struggles counting calories because it's annoying this is a great tip; I need to swap my normal meals for low-calorie ones and it'll be way easier to stay in deficit. Thanks for the info!

This is the best nutrition video I have ever watched! The visual representations are great, but even more great is the demonstration of 750 calories worth of icecream, because that is insane. Everybody else is so biased.

I like the fact that I'm using this video but in reverse since I'm trying to gain weight

I've lost a bunch of weight and don't have a lot left until I reach my goal. My biggest observation during my journey has been how great veggies can really be. For a meal I measure up 200-300 calories worth of food and just add a ton of vegetables to fill the plate. It brings the meal to 350-400 calories and keeps me full for a long time. Seriously, guys. Eat salads, they're basically miracle food.

As much as I love me some pasta, I recently decided to just do spiral zuchinni noodles and let me tell you, it was so good!!!Even if youre not a big fan of veggies. Just at a bit of water to pan for the noodles to "cook" a bit and add just a bit of salt. Its delicious guys 🤤

I realized I was not eating breakfast or lunch but one big dinner, drinking barely a cup of water a day, snacking on crap like sweets and chips throughout the day. I’ve gained a lot of weight and can grab my belly fat with both hands 😣
I just couldn’t take it anymore and yesterday afternoon I changed my entire mindset. I ate a healthy dinner, signed up for a gym membership and went for an hour and a half last night, woke up this morning and had raspberry tea with lemon water, did a 20 minute exercise, drank only herbal tea and water, ate turkey bacon and strawberries for breakfast, kale and spinach veggie salad and with lemon juice for lunch, and salmon and asparagus for dinner, now about to hit the gym again. I felt hungry today and didn’t know exactly how to put myself in a proper calorie deficit, and you just helped so much! this is an amazing video I will be retaining much from :)

I've been on a diet for almost a month now and I really struggled with feeling hungry even after my meals because I was so focused on just eating much smaller portions. Then I discovered how to bulk up my meals with healthier meats and a ton more healthy veggies. And I'm learning how to make many of my sauces from scratch so I can control how much sugar is in the mix. Finding healthy substitutions is so important and, turns out, kinda fun. After a month, I've lost almost 15lbs.

This video was a real eye opener. I’m wondering why I keep gaining weight when I think I’m eating small portions. The foods I eat are really calorie dense. Time to really start counting calorie

I'm trying to change the menu of my family that would allow us to eat more without worrying too much about calories. This video is a great help for the meal prep plans I make.

I have never heard of Zucchini Noodles. And I love pasta, so cutting it to 2x a week was hard. Now maybe i can bump pasta up to 4x per week again. Nice!
