Today we're diving into something I know so many of you have struggled with—because I have too—and that's how to count your macros without it taking over your entire life. If you've ever felt like counting is too stressful, too rigid, or just too much to keep up with long-term… this episode is for you. Because here's the truth: counting your macros should be a tool—not a trap. And if it's leaving you burned out, anxious, or stuck in all-or-nothing mode? You're doing way more work than you need to. What I discuss: Why perfection isn't the goal—and how aiming for "close enough" actually gets you better results How stress over counting can backfire by increasing cortisol (and what that does to your body) The simple habit I use to reduce decision fatigue and make counting easier Why focusing on protein first is a game-changer How to navigate "off" days without guilt, shame, or starting over What it looks like to loosen up on tracking in busy seasons—without losing your progress Whether you're brand new to macro counting or just want to make it feel more sustainable, this episode is going to help you build a better, healthier relationship with the process.
