Both Were Eating 1400 Calories… But Only One Lost Inches. Here’s Why.


Two girls.


Same height.


Same age.


Same1400 calories.

Yet the results?

Girl A: Lost 3 kg + 3 inches


⚠️Girl B:Lost2 kg + 0 inches

This is not luck.


This isexecution.

Let me show you exactly what went wrong and what went right — because most people unknowingly live like Girl B while expecting Girl A’s results.

👩‍🦰 GIRL B – “I Eat Healthy, I’m on 1400 Calories”

Girl B truly believes she is in a calorie deficit.


But here’s what’s actually happening behind the scenes:

1. Oil Is Not Being Counted

  • Oil in breakfast

  • Oil again in lunch

  • Oil again in veggies

She never measures it.

👉 Just 2 extra teaspoons of oil per meal = 240 extra calories per day


That alone can destroy a1400-calorie deficit.

2. Vegetables Are Treated Like “Free Food”

She thinks:


“Vegetables don’t count.”

But the truth:

  • Vegetables + oil = calories

  • Large portions + oil = hidden calorie surplus

3. The Post-Run Smoothie Trap

She goes for a run and thinks:


“I deserve my smoothie.”

But what’s inside:

  • Banana

  • Peanut butter

  • Dates/honey

  • Milk

👉 Result:

  • Blood sugar spike

  • Insulin spike

  • More hunger by dinner

  • More cravings at night

4. The “Healthy” Peanut Butter Sandwich Illusion

She believes it’s the healthiest option.

But she doesn’t see that:

  • Most calories here are coming from fat + carbs

  • Very little protein

  • Very low satiety

5. No Strength Training

She only does cardio.

So what does she lose?

  • ✅ Weight

  • ❌ Muscle

  • ❌ Tightness

  • ❌ Inch loss

GIRL A – Same 1400 Calories, But With Precision

Now meet Girl A.

She eats almost the same foods, but her approach is different.

1. Every Portion Is Measured

  • Oil is measured

  • Roti is weighed

  • Rice is measured

  • Even snacks are portion-controlled

👉 This keeps her truly inside a calorie deficit

2. Smarter Post-Workout Nutrition

Instead of a sugar-loaded smoothie, she takes:

  • ✅ A protein shake

This:

  • Preserves muscle

  • Controls hunger

  • Improves recovery

  • Prevents cravings

3. She Strength Trains

She lifts weights.

And this changes everything.

Strength training:

  • Improves insulin sensitivity

  • Builds muscle

  • Burns more fat at rest

  • Creates inch loss, not just weight loss

4. Same Calories — Better Distribution

Her calories are coming from:

  • ✅ Protein

  • ✅ Fiber

  • ✅ Controlled carbs

  • ✅ Measured fats

Not random extras.

⚠️ THE MOST IMPORTANT TRUTH


Fat loss is not about eating less food.


Fat loss is abouteating the right amount of the right food — with accuracy.

You don’t lose inches because you’re:


❌ Eating “home food”


❌ Drinking smoothies


❌ Having nuts & sandwiches

You lose inches when:


✅ Oil is counted


✅ Protein is prioritised


✅ Training is structured


✅ Blood sugar is stable


✅ Calories are honest

💬 FINAL COACH MESSAGE FOR CLIENTS


“If your portions are not measured,


your calories are only estimated.


And estimated calories give estimated results.”

I'm Nancy. I am a nutritionist and a fitness enthusiast. Before getting my certification, I had tried several diets, methods and measures of losing weight, staying healthy and performing better. Every time I would think of losing weight, only thing that will come to my mind is eating less, although I succeeded in my efforts but most of the times; weight bounced back. There was something that I was not doing right because eating less made me HANGRY and eating back calories made me heavier...
