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

from Self-Selecting · host Cory Hageman

Social events, birthdays, holidays, and meals out don't have to completely derail your fat loss phase.In this episode, I walk through a real example of how I helped a client navigate two untracked restaurant meals and birthday cake in the same day while still keeping her fat loss goals in mind. Instead of trying to perfectly track every calorie—or writing the entire day off as a cheat day—I show you how to create practical guardrails around protein, portions, fullness, training, and food choices.I break down how I would approach everything from chicken and waffles to sushi and dessert, why I don't recommend starving yourself before a big meal, and how planning your food decisions before you get to the restaurant can prevent an untracked meal from becoming an uncontrolled one.The goal isn't perfection. It's learning how to enjoy meals and celebrations without turning one social event into a 3,000–4,000 calorie day you never intended to have.
