Indeed, the vast majority of people who are not involved in professional fitness or bodybuilding find it difficult to constantly track calories in the long term: a busy schedule, the inability to cook for themselves, business trips and a dozen other reasons.
If you are one of those who don’t care about counting all this, but want to build a useful and healthy nutrition system, you will probably have to change your eating habits and know some simple nutrition rules and features of different categories of products.

You definitely have an idea of “intuitive eating” in the form in which it is brought to the masses by amateur nutritionists who say that it is an easy way to achieve significant results in losing weight or maintaining weight without work, control and discipline. However, not all so simple.
Intuitive nutrition according to science is nutrition based on knowledge about the properties and qualities of foods, energy metabolism, and basic macronutrients. And also the ability to put this knowledge into practice and implement it into your daily life in order to get a figure that pleases the reflection in the mirror.
Take this test to see if you’re ready to effectively transition from calorie-counting to intuitive eating.

Answer yes/no.
- How long have you been counting calories: do you have a lot of experience in this activity?
- Do you remember by heart the KBJU products from your daily diet?
- Have you decided on your diet? (“yes” — if you have decided, “no” — if you are still experimenting and deciding on the products from which you will get the required protein, fiber, healthy fats)?
- When choosing products, do you evaluate them in terms of health benefits? (“Yes” if the priority is whole, unprocessed foods, low in calories, rich in macro- and micronutrients)
- Do you know your daily diet by heart and can do without table scales and calorie tracker software?
- With your current diet, do you feel good in the gym, are your goals for increasing strength and/or losing weight being met?
- Have you created optimal eating habits and regularity so that they fully meet your long-term health goals?

If you answered “Yes” to most of these questions, then you can get down to business and move on to nutrition without daily calorie counting.
