Do I even need carbs if I barely move?
Yep, you still do π Just less and smarter.
Why carbs are still useful:
- Theyβre fuel for your brain and nervous system π§
- Fiber (veggies, whole grains) helps digestion and keeps you full πΏ
What changes when youβre 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 arenβt βillegal,β but letβs keep them as weekend visitors, not daily roommates π
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 π²:
- 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 βI need a nap just from eating.β
If you tell me your average daily steps and what you usually eat for dinner, I can help you tweak it without stress π
