Description

I’m excited to keep our macros series rolling today, because it’s not enough to just “know” what macros are. The magic happens when you actually START tracking them! 


This isn’t about being “perfect”, or obsessing over every bite. It’s about awareness, creating habits, and finally understanding how your nutrition lines up with your goals. 


If you’ve ever felt like tracking was “too much,” overwhelming, or just plain confusing, this episode is going to make it feel sooo much more doable!


Real talk: if you’re not measuring, you’re just guessing. You can’t “guess” your way into a stronger, leaner, or healthier body. Tracking gives you the clarity to see what’s really going on, and from there, you can decide where to adjust. 


That’s where the freedom comes in, because you learn what works for you without cutting out foods, or living by certain “food rules”!


Remember - tracking macros is NOT about being perfect. It’s about building consistency, awareness, and creating the body (and confidence) you want!
