Ep. 305: How to Count the Calories in Your Homemade Meals
You’ve really got this calorie counting thing down pat when it comes to simple foods or eating in restaurants that list their calories. But what about when you cook at home? How do you figure out the calories in your favorite dishes when you’re just throwing things together? In this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I’ll show you how to count the calories in your homemade meals with a simple, step-by-step process.
Imagine never being afraid of going out to eat, or going to a friend’s house, or going on vacation, ever again. Picture yourself confidently portioning out every meal, every time, to fit your calorie target without second-guessing yourself.
This can be you because it’s just a skill to count calories, which means that you can learn how.
Right now, your brain is making excuses to stop you from counting all of your calories (which is completely normal, and exactly how your brain is supposed to work). But when you execute this simple process, and practice it regularly, you’ll realize that there are NO calories that you can’t figure out.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
– HOW to calculate the calories for any recipe
– WHY it’s so hard to make yourself do this, and
– HOW to overcome your resistance

When in doubt, take a smaller portion. You don’t really need that second scoop of mashed potatoes or that third piece of pizza.
Since you’re saying you get most of your questions from your Facebook group, are you going to open a new Facebook group now that you’re closing your exercise and weight loss group? I’m also wondering if all the helpful exercise videos that you published here on YouTube will remain available as they are now. Thanks for all the years of assistance, Pahla B! 😊
I hope so too, I use them with my maintenance.
thanks so much for upbeat thoughts. I dont count the calories but the amount of protein, good fats, and carbs to intake. I printed out a sheet that helps. Then I was able to have a daily diet with some good switches. However i do and will have slice of pizza now and then. or a candy bar too and ice cream.. haha.
