Do you need to track calories to lose weight… or is it actually making things harder?
In this episode, I answer the question:
“Do you recommend using MyFitnessPal to monitor what I’m eating more closely?”
As always, there isn’t one right answer.
We talk honestly about:
💜 When calorie tracking can help build awareness
💜 When it can trigger stress, all-or-nothing thinking, or disconnect you from your body
💜 Why not all calories are equal, including caloric availability (what your body actually absorbs, not just what’s on the label)
💜 The reality that food labels and apps can be up to 20% out
💜 Why tracking apps aren’t designed to be a forever solution
💜 Simple, realistic alternatives to calorie tracking that support consistency without obsession
I also share simple, realistic alternatives to calorie tracking that focus on protein, whole foods, plate balance, consistency and listening to your body — the same principles we use inside the 6 Week Course.
If you’re looking for a reset that goes beyond “being good for six weeks” and actually helps you build habits you can stick to long-term, the 6 Week Course is open now and is designed to support both your body and your mindset.

This episode is about awareness without obsession, curiosity over control and finding an approach to food that fits real life.
