What to do

Log your food intake for the day — total calories, or macros (protein, carbs, fat). Use any method: Stalio's log, MyFitnessPal integration, or a manual entry.

Why it works

Creates precise nutritional awareness. Required for body recomposition goals (muscle gain, fat loss). Helps identify hidden calories and eating patterns invisible to casual reflection.

Research backing

A systematic review in Obesity Reviews found that self-monitoring of food intake, including calorie or macro tracking, was one of the strongest predictors of successful long-term weight management across behavioural weight-loss interventions.
