Tracking a weeks worth of food/drinks on my fitness pal is the best FREE investment you can make for your body journey.
Once you track, it's saved so you don't have to scan barcodes again. When you make food, measure and make a double portion, then you have a meal already done so you're not always prepping food which I found to be a chore.
A set of scales for £10 and measure for a week what you eat. Stick to a 40, 30, 30 ratio for protein, carbs and fats each day and it's that easy.
Set ALL foods to 1g measurements in my fitness pal and just weigh out what you need to hit a certain level of calories for each meal.
I stick on youtube and prep 5 days worth of snacks (frozen protein yoghurt (strawberry), 1 scoop of strawberry cream protein powder and 80g of frozen berries. Throw the 5 tubs in the freezer and grab one if you want a sweet snack. Frozen strawberry youghurt and the berries ( I use forrest fruits so raspberries, blackberries and cherries etc) give you the tart hit to balance the sweetness of the forzen yoghurt. Gives me 40+ grams of protein each tub which is great for my 180g protein target a day.
Protein also helps keep you feeling fuller longer so you don't go hungry.
