Macros 101, part 1: What macros actually are and why tracking always works

We made it to episode 10, and I'm celebrating by kicking off a three-part series on the topic my audience asked for more than anything else: macros.

I personally avoided macro tracking for years. I was convinced it was going to be restrictive, obsessive, and just another diet rule to follow. What I found when I finally started was the exact opposite. It was the first time I actually understood what I was eating — and for me, like most of the women I work with, the revelation wasn't that I was eating too much. It was that I wasn't eating nearly enough.

This first episode is the foundation. What macros actually are, what each one does in your body, and why tracking them gives you more freedom over food than any diet, meal plan, or food rule ever could.

What you'll learn What macronutrients actually are — and why understanding the difference between tracking calories and tracking macros changes everything The role protein, carbohydrates, and fat each play in your body (and why all three are non-negotiable) Why women who come to me not yet tracking are almost always eating less than they think — and how diet culture got us here Why every diet, meal plan, and food system out there is doing the same thing — and how tracking cuts straight through all of it My honest take on whether tracking is obsessive or disordered — including my own history with binge eating and emotional eating, and how tracking actually helped The real answer to "do I have to track forever?" — including what I actually plan to do and why
