Random hill I'm willing to die on for no other reason than a man's gotta have principles:

If your food needs ketchup to enhance the taste, your food is not good. Ketchup is for children.

Weight loss occurs equals calorie deficit.

To insure you're in a calorie deficit you have to log your food.

The easiest way to log your food is to take pics of what you eat.

Things not going the right way, use the pics to figure out what you need more or less of.

Daily Fit Tip: Avoid Distracted Eating

Think of your last meal? Think of 5 adjectives to describe it?

If you can't, it's probably a good indication you were distracted while you ate it. And you probably ate more than you wanted.

Daily Fit Tip: Prep For Your Meal Prep

Cooking is a lot easier when you don't have to do all the prep work: cutting, chopping and dicing.

So you can either buy pre-chopped or do all your knife work as soon as you get home from the grocery.

Daily Fit Tip: Size Matters:

Believe it or not, you may be eating more than you realize just because you've got giant plates.

We're conditioned to 'finish' our meals. So when given a big plate of food we'll eat it all even though we may be satisfied with less.

Daily Fit Tip: Meal Prep Isn't Just Batch Cooking

It could be.
It could also be menu planning.
It could just be grocery shopping.
It could be figuring out who's cooking on what day.

Meal prep just means having a plan in place to insure you make the best food decisions.

Daily Fit Tip: Food Is More Than Calories

For some it's how we gather; for others it's how we show love. And for some it's a coping mechanism.

Whatever it is for you, pretending it's just a calorie source will only mess up your relationship with food.

Daily Fit tip: Discipline Trumps Motivation

We'd all love to be motivated to do all the things all the time.

This is the real world.

On the days when motivation is lacking, you're going have to make it non-negotiable.

Do what you said you were going to do. That's it.

Daily Fit Tip: 1LB/Week=52LB/Year

This isn't about weight loss specifically.

This is a reminder that consistent small progress leads to big results.
