Sinkowski. Every week on the show, we am to simplify the science of nutrition, health, and fitness, cutting through the noise to focus on the principles and practices that will help you perform better, feel better, and live better. Thank you so much for tuning into the show this week. Hello,

and how are you, E.C.? Hey, good. How are you? Wonderful. Good to see you. Today, we are going to talk

about weighing and measuring and tracking and logging, all the fun things, the things that people love to do.

We're going to talk about underreporting, logging on difficult days, and, of course, our favorite subject of perfectionism. And I want to give a little context as to where this conversation came from, because I think it's perhaps useful. As folks know, who have dived into the Three Pillars Method app, and if you haven't yet, check it out, three pillage method.com. There are three basic tracks that you're going to go through

800 gram challenge lazy macros and then the full three pillars method. And with each one of those

tracks, there is a bunch of educational material that you will enjoy as you go as you learn about

these various systems. And so I was helping you out, E.C. I was giving you a little bit of a

sanity check and I was reviewing some of these things.C. I was giving you a little bit of a sanity check and I was

reviewing some of these things. And I came across one of the subjects or one of the days about logging. And I actually forget, I couldn't find which day it is specifically, but I sent you this text and said, wait, do people try and log their food at the end of the day instead of right before they eat it? I can barely remember if I ate anything by the end of the day, let alone how much of it I ate. And so something in the education material, you'd mentioned something about one of the mistakes people make or could make is they try to do a sort of a capture at the end of the day, like, oh yeah, what did I eat? And then that's how they quote unquote log. And so that got me thinking about, well,

what other mistakes do people make as they log, as they attempt to log as they attempt to

weigh and measure their food? And so what we're going to talk about today is you just put together,

I think we've got five of the perhaps biggest mistakes that folks make as they're trying to

rein in their intake by weighing and measuring

their food. Cool? Yes. Yes, exactly. Just to enter us into this conversation before we get to the

five, I've got a quote from day 24 of the Three Pillars Method. Again, three pillars method.com

to get into the app, highly recommend it here's the quote

the value of weighing and measuring is not that you accumulate vast data's about what you ate in the

past you don't need to have a record that you ate cucumbers last tuesday and turkey on wednesday

you certainly don't need a log of what you ate a year ago yet it's the recording of the day

that keeps you accountable to your

targets. It helps keep your food choices and amounts in line with your goals. I just wanted to put that

out there because I think logging, weighing and measuring, and you know this better than anybody,
