80/20 rule

AnahitaCanDoIt

My trainer says it's 80% nutrition (and water) and 20% fitness...( I don't mean the 80/20 where you eat well 80% of the time and be less rigid 20%)

Why then, if I eat so clean, do I not look better?

I suppose because it's also an issue with portion control... Also the macros are still important, clean or not.

Eating clean is not enough to lose weight.

You need to eat enough that you are healthy, but below your maintenance level of calories for your activity level.

Also, from the pics on here, I'd say you look great.

Weight loss is 80% nutrition and 20% fitness. Looking good naked is mostly fitness once you get near your goal weight. skinny-fat looks better than fat, but still not as good as a fit body.

^ What he said...clean foods still have calories and you still need to follow the basic principle of calories in VS calories out.
