Nutrition Notes: Targets That Actually Stick
Forget all-or-nothing diets. Set honest targets, track simply, and build habits that survive real life. You don’t need a perfect plan — just one that fits the week you’re actually living.
Start With Realistic Numbers
Most nutrition plans fail because the targets are built for your best week, not your average one. Pick goals you can hit even when things go sideways. If you can’t imagine doing it on a stressful Wednesday, it’s not the right target.
Track the Signal, Not the Noise
You don’t have to log every crumb. Focus on one or two metrics that give real feedback: daily protein, servings of fruit and veg, hydration, or simply total meals eaten at home. Small, repeatable tracking beats obsessive logging every time.
Plan for “Good Enough” Meals
Nutrition doesn’t have to be aesthetic. A balanced microwave meal on a busy night is still progress. Keep fallback foods in your fridge and car so you can make the better-than-nothing choice when life hits fast-forward.
Habits that last aren’t built on perfection — they’re built on patterns that can flex. Choose simple targets, track the things that matter, and let consistency do the heavy lifting.
