if we’re being honest, the 80/20 rule is just a glamorous way of saying ‘everything in moderation bbz’. But under the guise of being more tailored because NuMBeRs ?⠀

So wtf is it? Well it depends on the context (and the fitness guru) but it’s essentially the idea of eating nutrient-dense foods 80% of the time, and less-nutrient dense foods 20% of the time.⠀
⠀
Do it how you want but the two common ways of hitting it are:⠀
⠀
1. ❤️(For humans who like numbers):⠀
Eating 80% of your calories from filling, nutrient-dense sources. And 20% of your calories from less-filling, less nutrient-dense sources. Like Sainbury’s 35p basic milk chocolate. Don’t @ me. This is a more specific approach.⠀

2. ❤️(For humans who don’t like numbers):⠀
Making 80% of your food choices filling and nutrient-dense. And 20% of your food choices less-filling, less nutrient-dense. Like Sainbury’s 35p basic milk chocolate. Don’t @ me still. This is a less tailored approach.⠀
⠀
You can split it daily, weekly, monthly, whatever. But the goal is to allow you to fuel your body, getting all your important vitamins and minerals in but also eat some food we like just cus they’re tasty af. ?Which many other approaches without a FanCy name can do.⠀
⠀
Hope this helps my friends.⠀
I only held the cookie to show off my new nails.⠀
