Hilary Duff posted a bikini selfie on Instagram and told her followers the approach she follows to "stay lean" while still enjoying bread, chocolate, and wine.
Duff, 32, has been counting her macros and working with flexible dieting coach Erik Young, while also working out with Novo Body Fitness.
"I've still been counting my macros with my man @theflexible.dieting.coach and it's truly helped me stay lean even while eating bread, chocolate, and wine!" the actor wrote.
"I also love my @novobodyofficial fam and grateful I have found what works for me.
"I know it's extra hard to keep up and find normalcy in quarantine but I truly hope you make at least 30 mins a day for yourself to stay connected.
"Do whatever feels good for you even if it's not food or fitness related!"
Flexible dieting is about working all your favorite foods into your diet
One step further than calorie-counting, Duff has been following the macro-tracking approach to fitness.
Macros (or macronutrients) are the three main components that make up our foods: protein, carbs, and fat.
Every food offers us a different amount of each macro, as well as micronutrients which are all the essential vitamins and minerals we need to stay healthy.
The macros in a food makes up its calories: Protein and carbs are four calories per gram, and fat is nine calories per gram.
Duff will likely have been aiming to hit certain quantities of each macronutrient every day, without denying herself any particular foods.
Her nutrition coach, Young, is a proponent of flexible dieting, which means including foods that may be less nutrient dense, but bring you joy, in your diet.
It's similar to the principle of "If It Fits Your Macros" (IIFYM), a popular concept amongst gym-goers that essentially means you can eat whatever you want provided you hit your macro targets.
"Non restrictive weight loss creates sustainability!" Young wrote on Instagram, resharing Duff's post.
"It's easy ... Track your macros, eat what you want, and enjoy life!"
Duff macro-tracked after the birth of her daughter, Banks
In October 2018, Duff gave birth to her daughter, Banks Violet Bair, with her now-husband, songwriter Matthew Koma, whom the actor credits for cooking delicious meals.
"I have been working really hard to get back to my pre baby body before Banksy turned a year! It was my goal ... and I did it," she wrote on an Instagram story, pinned to Young's profile, in July 2019.
She said she'd been working closely with Young, as well as "training hard" to rebuild her strength with Novo Body Fitness, a weight lifting-focused gym in Encino, California.
"It would be impossible without these guys and my home chef @matthewkoma," she wrote.
"Thanks boys."
