208. Messy Macros: Why Imperfect Tracking Will STILL Bring You Results | Macros Series


Listen Later

Tracking macros is not about perfection - it’s about consistency. I hear from sooo many women who feel like they can only track when life is calm, predictable, and “perfect.”


But..let’s be real. Life never ACTUALLY looks like that! 


There will always be dinners out, trips, holidays, etc. - you name it. That’s why tracking should fit into your REAL life (not the other way around).


Ultimately, you can’t mess up macro tracking…unless you quit. It’s a skill (just like anything else), and it takes time, patience, and a willingness to keep showing up!


No, tracking macros isn’t forever. But…the knowledge and awareness you gain IS, and is incredibly powerful. None of my clients’ successes come from being “perfect”, because perfection isn’t required!


I hope you choose to ditch that all-or-nothing mentality, stay consistent, and realize you CAN make macros work for your life, friend!


Episode recap:

  • Why “consistent as possible” tracking matters MORE than perfection
  • Understanding that real life ≠ perfect macros
  • Why macro fatigue is normal (and not a failure)
  • Common struggles that cause people to fall off with tracking
  • Why consistency > perfection always wins w/macros
  • Tips for handling eating out, social events & vacations
  • What to do when you’re feeling stuck or burned out with tracking
  • Simple & doable ways to get started this week
