If I go out I see what I have left for the day if it's 60 pro, 60 carbs 40 fat then I'm having chicken, half a baked potato, roll, butter, sour cream , im still in a calorie deficit, I meet my macros, im still losing bodyfat, that's my 80/20 eating, if it fits my macros I'm eating it, I could not eat the baked potatoes and butter and sour cream and have chicken, veggies, and a piece of cake as long as it fits my macros and calories. Anyone can do that just like they can balance their check book.I think the mindset matters the most on the 80/20.
My idea of the 80/20…..say the old lady wants to go to dinner? So this will be one of my 20% meals….
I’ll order the leanest cut of steak there, and a baked white potsto. No butter, sour cream, bacon or all that. just salt pepper, and some salsa. I’ll “endulge” with a roll if they have good rolls.
On the other hand, I could do the 20% rule and order the shrimp Alfredo and eat half a dozen garlic breadsticks.
That’s easily a difference of 1000 calories, from fat and carbs.
