Tracking macros isn’t the magic sauce to getting results.
I might be shooting myself in the foot for saying this but…asking my clients to track macros has less to do about hitting targets and more to do with
>> understanding your own trends
>> staying accountable to your goals
>> knowing how your social circle influences your eating
>> becoming more aware of your food environment
>> learning what’s aCtuALly in your food
>> connecting what you eat with how it makes you feel
Here’s what we know from the research: the simple act of logging food in some way is what separates the successful from the unsuccessful when it comes to achieving nutrition related goals.
So don’t skip tracking on the weekends!
Even if you “don’t know what’s in it”
Even if you didn’t plan ahead
Even if you’re gonna be over your needs
Even if you’re not even close to your targets
Even if your weekend plans fall apart
All that matters is the consistency in your act and the data that you gather from the experience. Will you be among the successful and log your eats this weekend?
being silly versus smart about tracking macros
