Staying on track with your nutrition does not come down to just prepping your food and tracking your macros. Sleep is also an important factor when it comes to keeping your nutrition in check.
Not getting enough sleep can increase the hormone ghrelin which is our "hunger hormone". Think of ghrelin as the little gremlin that makes your stomach growl. Ghrelin increases your appetite and food intake making it harder to stick to your diet plan.
Getting enough sleep increases the hormone leptin. Leptin, unlike ghrelin, helps regulate hunger and helps keep you feeling full.
So...make sure you are getting enough sleep not only because it's good for your overall health but to help you meet your nutrition goals!
