And when I think about kind of high-level concepts, it's, are you having enough protein? What are you doing with your carbohydrates? And I'm not anti-carb. I think, unfortunately, because I've been someone that's been aligned with intermittent fasting for a long period of time, people assume I'm ketogenic or I'm low-carb. That is not the case.

I think it's important to have high quality carbohydrates, looking at the types of fats you're consuming and understanding that as a differentiator, that protein and carbohydrates are four calories per gram and fat is nine. Yeah, it's nine. And so helping people understand that if you're trying to lose weight,

And you think you can have all the fatty meat and have two sticks of butter a day and three avocados. And I have met people who insist that's what they consume. And I'm like, if that works for you, great. But for the vast majority of us, it would not. And so once you can quantitatively look at that information, it allows you to make very specific recommendations for patients.

And that's where I find tracking macros helpful. Let me be very clear. I'm not suggesting you do this for the rest of your life. It is not meant to be feeling like you're tethered to your app on your phone. It is really just to help you build awareness about portion sizes and quantity of macronutrients that you're consuming. And what I like about

One particular app that I have no affiliation with is chronometer. It also gives you micronutrients. So you'll be able to see, you know, what's your magnesium or potassium chloride, all these micronutrients that do impact food cravings, satiety, et cetera.

And so I would give this a solid B more as a, I think this is an important tool to have in the toolbox, but not something that I'm suggesting people do for the rest of their lives. But I think it can be very, very insightful. Yeah.

Yeah. And I think it's also it's one of those things like my husband and I laugh about this because he's a former college athlete. He thinks he doesn't ever have to track anything. And I said, I actually want you to track for an entire week. So I know exactly how much protein you're consuming.
