A blog about calorie surplus and deficit.
If you’re trying to lose weight, there’s a good chance that you’ve heard of calorie surplus and deficit. In this article, I’ll explain what they are and how they work.

How to Train While Dieting: The Key to Success
If you’re dieting, it’s tempting to cut calories but not exercise. This can have a devastating effect on your weight loss efforts and make it even harder for you to maintain your new lifestyle. The best way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you take in, so if you’re doing this with the help of exercise, then great! But if not, here are some tips on how to train while dieting:
1) Eat More Protein
Protein is essential for your body’s growth and repair processes, so it’s hard not to feel hungry when eating even a small amount of meat or fish.

To lose weight, you have to reduce your daily calorie intake below what your body needs for basic functions like breathing, regulating body temperature and digesting food.
The easiest way to do this is to cut back on high-calorie foods like sugar-laden snacks and desserts that contain no nutritional value. You also need to make sure that you’re getting enough protein in your diet — at least 1 gram per pound of body weight every day — since it helps maintain muscle mass while losing fat.
