How to Track Macros Without Obsession: The Pre-Planning Protocol (1.14)


Listen Later

If you've ever found yourself at 9 PM frantically trying to make your macros line up perfectly - eating exactly 47 grams of chicken and 8 almonds to hit your numbers - this episode is for you. I'm sharing how my CFO client went from spending 20 minutes playing "macro tetris" every night to enjoying peaceful dinners with her family.

What You'll Learn:
• The 8:30 PM planning ritual that transforms tracking from obsession to freedom
• Why my CFO client stopped spending 20 minutes rearranging dinner macros
• The simple math that eliminates perfectionism (divide protein by meals!)
• How pre-planning actually gives you MORE flexibility, not less
• Real client transformations from reactive chaos to proactive peace

Featured Client Story:
Follow a busy CFO's journey from frantically calculating 47 grams of chicken and 8 almonds at dinner to enjoying peaceful family meals while still hitting her goals.

Key Takeaways:
✓ Close enough is good enough
✓ Plans changing isn't failure - it's life
✓ Pre-planning isn't taking time - it's giving you time back
✓ Strategic planning beats perfect tracking every time

Your Homework:
Set an 8:30 PM alarm tonight. When it goes off, take 10 minutes to pre-log tomorrow's meals in Macro Sync. That's it. No perfection required.

Did something resonate with you today? I'm genuinely curious which of these hit home:
~ 'Close enough is good enough' (for my recovering perfectionists)
~'Plans changing isn't failure - it's life' (for my all-or-nothing thinkers)
~ 'Pre-planning isn't taking time - it's giving you time back' (for my "too busy" friends)

Drop a comment with which one you needed to hear most - or share your own mantra that's helping you track without obsession. Your breakthrough might be exactly what someone else needs to hear today. 💜
