Summary

In this episode of The Chasing Health Podcast, Chase and Chris kick off a new mini series about macro tracking. They talk about why tracking macros feels so overwhelming, and share real struggles people face like perfectionism, mindset issues, and fear of doing it wrong. They explain how it’s not about being bad at tracking—it's just a learning process. Chase and Chris break down the biggest problems, like not having enough time, not understanding how to use apps, and feeling like you have to be perfect. They want listeners to know: it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. You don’t need to be perfect to make progress. This series will help make macros feel simpler and way more doable.
