Fats, proteins and carbs

Do I even need carbs if I barely move?

Yep, you still do πŸ™‚ Just less and smarter.

Why carbs are still useful:

  • They’re fuel for your brain and nervous system 🧠
  • Fiber (veggies, whole grains) helps digestion and keeps you full 🌿

What changes when you’re not very active:

  • You usually need smaller portions, because you burn less energy.
  • Focus on slow/whole-food carbs: oats, buckwheat, brown rice, beans/lentils, veggies, berries.
  • Sweets, pastries, sugary drinks aren’t β€œillegal,” but let’s keep them as weekend visitors, not daily roommates πŸ˜„

Easy plate rule:

  • 1/2 plate β€” veggies
  • 1/4 β€” protein (meat/fish/eggs/tofu)
  • 1/4 β€” carbs (grains/potatoes/whole-grain bread)

How to use our app πŸ“²:

  • Log your meals and check your daily carbs and fiber.
  • On low-step/no-workout days, try slightly reducing dinner carbs and adding more veggies.
  • Goal: feel comfortably full, not β€œI need a nap just from eating.”

If you tell me your average daily steps and what you usually eat for dinner, I can help you tweak it without stress πŸ˜‰
