For all those of you who love to stay home and do nothing:

Here’s an idea so you can do something while doing nothing. Make imaginary rules that you have to follow whenever you do certain things. For example, whenever you stand up you have to do 10 sit ups; if you lay in bed you have to do 10 ab exercises (every time); there’s no more walking around the house, now you have to jump around the house. Your family/roommate/partner will think you’re crazy, but who cares? 

SLEEP EARLY!

Most people binge eat at night. If there’s less night, there’s less binge eating. Also, you have to get the enough amount of hours for your body to finish your digestion, so the more you sleep, the better! Remember this whenever you’re hungry at night: if you sleep hungry, you wake up without hunger. Just hold on a little bit longer.

Some info I think you might want to know:

Macronutrient  Calories
Protein                4
Fat                       9
Carbohydrate     4
Alcohol                7

Yes, each gram of fat you consume provides more than twice as many calories as a gram of protein or carbohydrate!

As an example of how these numbers are used, imagine a food containing 10 grams of protein, 10 grams of fat, and 10 grams of carbohydrates. That would total 170 calories:

(10 g protein x 4) + (10 g fat x 9) + (10 g carbs x 4) = 170

In this imaginary food 40 calories come from protein, 90 calories come from fat, and 40 calories come from carbohydrates.

P.S. insoluble fiber is not converted to calories in your body, so you might find a discrepancy when you count the number of calories of some products with carbohydrates in them, but don’t worry, it only means that the number of carbohydrates in that product provides less calories than expected (yay!)

Eat more protein than carbs and fat.

Not only is protein better for your health and metabolism (though all three are necessary), but it is also harder to convert to body fat (which means that it uses body calories to be converted). 

According to the Thermic Effect of Food, processing protein requires 30% of the overall amount of calories it contains. Fat, however, uses only about 2-3%, and carbs are somewhere between protein and fat. 

“As you can see, all calories are not equal. If you eat an equal number of calories of protein, fat and carbohydrates, the calories in the fat are more likely to end up on your waist as fewer of them are burned off by the thermic effect.

[…] a gram of fat contains more than twice as many calories as a gram of protein or carbohydrate. So a gram of fat not only gives you more calories, but a smaller percentage of them will be burned off by the thermic effect. A double whammy.”
