If you've ever been curious about tracking macros but felt overwhelmed, intimidated, or unsure where to start — this episode is for you. I'm breaking down exactly how to begin tracking macros the right way, especially for women in perimenopause. We'll start with why your first step is simply tracking what you already eat (no changes required), how to evaluate that data without judgment, and how to adjust calories strategically if progress stalls. I'll walk you through setting protein the right way for your body, explain why small changes matter more than drastic cuts after 40, and share simple tips like pre-tracking food to make macros feel doable instead of obsessive. This is your all-inclusive, no-pressure guide to using macros as a tool for awareness, confidence, and sustainable fat loss — not restriction.
