Eat like a bird in public because you can’t accurately track it?
Been there! Seen it 1000 times!
Picture this: you’re at your company holiday party this weekend and here’s a ton of food available.
You’re looking at all the delicious eats, excited to grub, but anxiety rushes over you
“I couldn’t even begin to guess the macros for this stuff.”
“I could just fill up on the low calorie options to play it safe.”
“I could try to estimate the portions, but I’d probably be wrong.”
“I am starving now, but I should probably wait until I get home to have a real meal.”
Naw. It’s time for a mindset upgrade.
Macro tracking shouldn’t have you paralyzed by perfection. If it does, you’re doing it wrong.
What the approach *can* do for you is teach you what your personally appropriate portions look like. It can serve as the basic nutrition education you never got in school.
All of a sudden you know how to craft a plate with a balance of protein, fat, and carbohydrates because you know which foods contain them. You confidently load up your plate because you have higher calorie needs as an active woman – heck you’re usually stuffed most days following your macro prescription! You feel full, satisfied and completely content eating a variety of different foods.
Feels better, right?
So, tell me, which plate do you think would have you refocused on cutie Travis from accounting (and not your growling stomach)?
mindset upgrade: holiday party edition
