[Rewind] Macro Tracking Made Easy: 6 Stages to Become a Macro Master


Listen Later

Ever wondered how to track macros without it taking over your life? 

Or maybe you're stuck somewhere between “macro huh?” and “macro master” and not even sure what is macro tracking, really? 

I get it—and I’ve been there, too. This rewind episode from 2023 is one of the most popular episodes on the show because it breaks down the 6 stages of macro tracking in a way that feels doable and empowering (not overwhelming). 

If you’re diving into counting macros for beginners—or even if you’ve been tracking on and off for a while—this episode will help you pinpoint where you are now and what it takes to level up.

In this episode, I walk you through the 6 distinct stages of macro tracking, from total beginner to confident macro master. Plus, I’ll settle the macros vs calories confusion once and for all—and show you why macros deserve the spotlight when it comes to real, lasting results.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • (1:55) The truth about Stage 1 "Macro Huh?" — If you’re still asking what is macro tracking, this breakdown will help you get clear on what it is—and why it works better than traditional dieting.
  • (9:30) Stage 2: Macro Curious — You’ve heard of how to track macros, maybe even plugged your food into an app, but haven’t quite committed. Learn the key mindset shift that gets you out of limbo.
  • (14:50) Stage 3: Macro Annoyed — The most common place to stall when counting macros for beginners. Here’s what to do when your app is full of franken-meals and your motivation is low.
  • (25:00) Stage 4: Macro Determined — You’re consistent with your tracking but still feel like it takes a lot of effort. I’ll share tips to make things flow more easily so how to track macros becomes second nature.
  • (36:15) Stage 6: Macro Master — When you’ve nailed flexible eating, can confidently adjust on the fly, and understand the ins and outs of macros vs caloriess—this is the end game.


If you’ve been stuck thinking the only way to make progress is by eating less, this episode will change your approach. 

You’ll understand exactly what is macro tracking, how it empowers you, and why counting macros for beginners doesn’t have to be overwhelming.
