The “Calorie Banking” Strategy

Reserving a large portion (minimum 800 - 1200 calories) of your total calorie target for your meal out. This allows you to eat out, but still stay on track.

3 Steps to Calorie Banking:

STEP 1: Bank 800 - 1,200 calories for your meal out.

Example

Total daily calorie target 1,800 Calories
To “bank” for meal out 1,200 Calories
Remaining calories for the day 600 Calories

STEP 2: Structure your day and remaining calories

Using the 1,800 Calorie target example, here’s a few options on how you can structure your day and remaining calories

💡 Option 1 - Fast for as long as you can, have 1 large, satiating meal before the meal out

      0 Cals                     600 Cals                 ~ 1,200 Cals

💡 Option 2 - Fast for as long as you can, have 2 satiating meals before the meal out

       0 Cals                     300 Cals                  300 Cals                 ~ 1,200 Cals
