44. Tracking Tip: How to Incorporate Energy-Dense Foods
Description
In today's episode, I'm sharing another tracking tip in my simplified macro tracking series — this time, it's all about how to incorporate energy-dense foods into your day without derailing your goals.
I dive into why these foods (think cinnamon rolls, chips, queso, or a margarita) don't have to be labeled "treats" or "cheat meals" and how they can actually be a normal, satisfying part of a sustainable diet. I break down strategies for balancing indulgent foods with your macros, the importance of planning ahead, and how to focus on the overall picture instead of falling into an all-or-nothing mindset.
I also cover the difference between energy-dense and nutrient-dense foods, the impact of food volume on hunger and satiety, and why looking at weekly averages, not daily perfection, is the key to long-term success.
