BONUS: How to Eat Untracked Meals Without Ruining Your Fat Loss Progress

So To get started, I want to break down.

So she said the brunch itself, she's like, we're going to go do chicken and waffles.

It's going to be at a restaurant.

And then later that night, we're going to do sushi and there's going to be birthday cake.

So what I posed was with chicken and waffles, like she isn't from the States and here in the States, like here in Texas or in New York.

The variance in what chicken and waffles actually looks like is pretty vast.

I mean, for some restaurants, we're talking like you can get like four waffles stacked and then maybe like 10 to 12 ounces of chicken.

And that's likely deep fried.

It's likely cooked in a lot of oil.

You're probably going to get whipped cream.

You're probably going to get syrup.

There's going to be additives to the waffles themselves.

That's one version of chicken and waffles.

And then there's the other version that might be a little more petite.

Like it's one single waffle.

It's maybe four to six ounces of chicken.

And maybe there's additives, but they're off to the side.

Like you can introduce them.

You can add as much as you'd like.

So even within this meal, there's a spectrum in what you're going to be faced with.

And what I broke down for her is like...

You go into this meal and I would prefer that you're not completely fasted.

I would prefer you have some protein because even if it's the latter, even if it is just four to six ounces of chicken, you can't guarantee that it's going to be enough.

And frankly, I don't want you starving going into that meal because you're not going to make the best decisions anyway.

I would rather you still have, I would say, somewhat of a normal breakfast, maybe smaller amounts of carbs and fats, but still have your normal protein intake and at the very least have a good amount of protein for the day to really start the day off so that you go into that meal already in the right mindset, already in a mindset of like I'm tracking, like I'm taking accountability for what I can, which is going to be my protein intake.
