Tracking the right metrics
While bodyweight can be a useful metric for tracking changes in body composition, it is not always the most accurate indicator of progress and is not the only metric to be tracked. By capturing and tracking the right metrics, we can provide a more accurate picture of progress and help stay motivated and on track towards our goals.

Decision Fatigue & Food Prep
One of the biggest factors that impact people's adherence with a diet is the amount of decisions they have to make. If you are eating 3 meals a day every week, you will have to make 21 decisions per week and 84 decision per month. If you prep your food, you could potentially slash those number to 1 decision per week and 4 decision per month. Imagine how much more successful you would be if you optimized this.
