I don't know when to stop eating ,please guide

[angeloak]

I am doing diet and eating healthy but don't know when to speak
For e.g. if I am having poha for breakfast , I eat about 3 plates .my mind says it's healthy

But when I am eating chapati ,I can control myself after 2 chapatis .

Can someone guide me

@angeloak

1. Drink a glass of water 30 mins before the meal
2. Eat with a fork instead of a spoon
3. Eat slowly and savour every bite! Feel all the flavours in your body! It will give u a feeling of satiety!
4. Portion control karo!
5. Thoda sa self-control bhi rakho!

 

[angeloak]

@playhard Will try to incorporate.

Self control nhi ho pata bro

 

[playhard]

@angeloak Try to karo! Ho jaega!

@angeloak Make a diet chart , buy a weight machine for food (around rs 300 on Amazon) and promise yourself that u won't eat anything without measuring. I also eat Poha for breakfast but it's 35 gm of rice i measure before prep. Always measure food raw (before preparation)

 

[angeloak]

@erk419 Will do that and convince everyone to buy the machine

@angeloak Good luck for your fitness journey. Also one imp to keep in mind is to take fitness as a lifestyle. Try to make your diet sustainable and exciting

@angeloak You need to use a calorie counter. Poha isn't any healthier than chappatis. Both are carb rich foods. Not that there's anything inherently wrong with carbs unless you're doing keto but calories are still calories and depending on your goals you need to start counting and setting your macros.

@nakiaj Id argue chapati is healtier cuz at least it contains gluten (a protein)

 

[nakiaj]

@norling Beaten rice has 7.44 gms of protein per 100grams and atta has 10 gms.

 

[norling]

@nakiaj Atta (whole wheat flour) has 13.5 - 15 gm of protein per 100 grams.

That is almost double the protein content of rice and rice flakes.

@angeloak You can reduce the portions and increase the serving count to trick your brain into believing you ate a lot, but I also don't see any problem with overeating lentils or whole grains as long as you remain active post eating

 

[angeloak]

@dawn16 If it's not a problem then I am ok , because it was delicious

 

[ancientpathshepherdess]

@angeloak Count calories & eat in small plates.

 

[angeloak]

@ancientpathshepherdess Any apps for calorie counter

@angeloak I had a similar predicament, but what I've been recently doing is have a bowl which I will top once with rice and transfer it to a plate. This way I'm sure I'm not eating more than I should as I'm not really into counting calories n stuff

You can do it with poha, vermicelli upma and oats as well

 

[angeloak]

@brokensinner33 Will try this

 

[eldertim]

@angeloak 3 poha is ok... Bro if made deliciously...

 

[angeloak]

@eldertim Yes it was super delicious
