Summary

In this episode, Chase and Chris dive into a real-life client story that many listeners will connect with. It's all about learning how to stop being perfect with macro tracking and start being consistent. They explain how tracking food isn't just about the numbers, but about having the right mindset to keep going—even when things don't go perfectly.

They talk about the traps of perfectionism, the guilt that comes with tracking “bad” foods, and how easy it is to feel like you're failing when you're really not. The client in the story used to track perfectly for a few days and then give up by the weekend. But with some mindset work, she learned how to be flexible, not feel guilty about food, and keep going even when things weren’t perfect.

You’ll learn how simplifying your tracking, giving yourself permission to enjoy foods like cake or Reese’s, and focusing on weekly progress—not daily slip-ups—can lead to real success.
