Summary:

 

After tracking macros for many years and understanding the emotional toll that eating can have on your mind and body, my goal is to help you gain more autonomy over what you eat. Contrary to popular belief, you DO NOT have to track every morsel or diligently obsess about things to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
