The Average Jen Food Tracking Starter Kit: Scale, Scanner & Macros Made Simple

This guide is for normal people who want to lose weight but feel stuck at the first step: tracking food. You may think a food scale is obsessive. You may have tried measuring cups and "about two slices" and wondered why the scale isn't moving. Or you may hate cooking, have a busy house, and assume healthy eating needs a lot of time and effort. The Average Jen Food Tracking Starter Kit walks you through the basics in plain language. You'll learn why eyeballing quietly pushes you out of a calorie deficit, and how to use a food scale in under a minute per meal. You'll learn how to log food using a barcode scanner, a photo of your plate, or a typed description. You'll learn how to set up and understand your macros without letting them run your life. You'll also get a toolbox of low-effort meals, including a five-ingredient crock pot roast and a heat-and-eat chicken and rice combo. There's also a plan for the days when nothing is prepped and lunch is leftover chicken, a protein shake and a small bag of Doritos. The goal is simple. You'll have a tracking routine you can do in minutes and stick with, and you won't have to be perfect. Jenny Wagner lost 100 pounds through diet and exercise and has kept it off in maintenance.
