Five reasons why I tracked macro for five years…
✔️ You cannot change what you do not measure.
If you’re trying to loose weight, maintain weight or gain weight there’s method behind the magic of how it happens… calories in vs calories out.
✔️ It helps you focus on the quality of your food.
While calorie counting simply gives you a number, macro tracking helps to focus on having a balanced diet: proteins, fats and carbs.
✔️ Food freedom.
It allows you to track indulgences so that you can satisfy cravings while staying within your caloric means. Team no restrictions.
✔️ It increases your nutrition knowledge.
Maybe you know about good nutrition, but how much do you know about your personal nutrition?
Why you’re not sleeping well
Why you’re feeling low energy
Why you’re having digestive problems
Tracking your diet gives you answers.
✔️ It’s not a diet, it’s a tool.
Measuring each food item (via a food scale) and input it into a food diary database- such as Calory App. The app tracks each macronutrient by the gram. You can even simply can scan the barcode of a food item and the app does all the measuring for you… so easy.
Yes, you must be extremely disciplined and ready to commit to the process/put the time in… but you can’t beat the results.
