Using food to increase your metabolism

Counting macros and calories shouldn't always be about restriction and eating as little as you can. If you're new to tracking or have been "eating for fat loss" for a while, it may be helpful to intentionally increase your calorie/macro intake over time. If you add more food incrementally over time, your metabolism will "up-regulate," the opposite of what happens when you restrict food intake over a long period of time. If you're stuck and not seeing the progress you'd like, slowly eating more may be the next move!

Interesting way of thinking. Maybe I have been eating too little and that is why my scale is standing still.0
