When you’re on a diet, the whole point is to eat a little bit less than your body needs to maintain its current weight.

And as a result, you’re going to feel hungry more often than normal especially in the beginning as your body adjusts.

But if you cut calories too aggressively, there’s a point where you’ll feel so hungry so often that it’s overbearing.

We don’t want that.

But a little hunger is okay.

In fact, it’s a sign you’re doing something right.

Here’s how to make sure you don’t cross over that line:

The first thing to do is get an idea of what calories look like visually.

For example, 400 calories could look like:

• 12oz raw plain chicken breast (that’s a big chicken)
• 110g plain uncooked white rice (a full size dinner plate covered when cooked)
• 4tbsp peanut butter (roughly a ping pong ball size)
• 1.2lbs broccoli (roughly a whole large head)
• 1 McDouble (yes, really)

Depending on the food, it could look like a whole lot or a whole little.
