Lilbitoffit Airfryer Cheesy Beef Meatballs

Y’all know how much I love beef & my airfryer.⁣

I mean now, I have 2 airfryers (Instant 6qt)⁣

Named them Al & Abe. Abe travels with me 😂 

⁣After experimenting with all different kinds of ground meats, 80% ground beef chuck is my fav. I also rotate 85% ground beef & 93% ground chicken occasionally. 

I used to bake meatballs all the time, but fell in love with the crispy edges on meat when cooking in the airfryer. I thought, why the heck not, let’s airfry’em. ⁣

Simple Cheesy Carnivore Meatballs⁣

Ingredients

* 2 lbs ground beef (I like 80-85%, idc if it’s grass fed or grain fed. I feel people over complicate things. As long as it agrees with your health, eat it.)⁣

* 3 oz shredded Italian cheese blend (or whatever you’d like as long as you tolerate dairy ok)

* 1 tsp pink Himalayan sea salt ⁣

Instructions

How to Calorie Cycle for Fat Loss

The old school way of thinking in order to achieve our fat loss & health goals: “I have to ‘want it enough’ to achieve it.”

On one hand, they do have a point, it does take intention PLUS action.

On the other hand, it’s easy to fall down the rabbit hole of perfection & a totalitarian approach & restriction. 

Beliefs like eating nachos or excess calories on a Saturday night equates to failure.

Beliefs like eating a strict meal plan of chicken & broccoli with a kitchen overflowing of Tupperware. 

What you need to ask yourself, “Is this sustainable & how do I want to eat the rest of my life that makes me feel AMAZING?!

For me & many of my clients in the past, this restriction & perfection mindset meant come the weekend, we’d binge & purge aisle 5 of all the foods we’d denied ourselves & wash it down with 4-5 cocktails & wake up to self loathing & a week of over exercising later.

Sound familiar?

The longer we go trying to control things, deny flexibility & living LIFE, the less controlled & unfulfilling your life will become. 

Here are lessons I’ve learned about balance along my fat loss & healing journey. 

How to calorie cycle for fat loss! TAG & SHARE 🎉 

✅Personally, I like to eat (roughly) the same 200-300 range of calories each day.

✅I have clients who prefer cycling their calories based on when they work out.

✅I have clients who cycle their calories to accommodate their weekend partying, too. 😉🍻

👉🏻The Bottom Line ✅: success comes down to finding something you can follow consistently. While there’s nothing magical about calorie cycling, it can be an excellent tool for creating a more enjoyable plan 👍
