How to Track Macros Without Losing Your Mind | Part 1 - Mindset Mastery

If you’ve ever downloaded MyFitnessPal, tracked for three days, and thought “this is taking over my life…”
If you’ve tried to be perfect with your targets only to burn out and give up…
Or if you’ve tracked on and off for months and still feel like you’re not getting anywhere...

👉 this episode is for you!

Tracking can be one of the most powerful tools for improving your nutrition, body composition, and performance...but only if you use it properly.

Most people treat tracking like a diet, not a skill. And that’s exactly what leads to overwhelm, obsession, or inconsistency.

In this first part of a two-part series, I’m breaking down the mindset side of tracking, so you can finally build a healthy, sustainable relationship with food data instead of letting it control you.

💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:

→ Why tracking is a tool, not a test

→ The three most common tracking traps: overwhelmed, obsessive, and inconsistent

→ Why consistency comes before targets

→ How to set realistic, relevant targets that actually work for your body

→ Why you don’t need 100 % adherence to see results

→ How to stop one “bad day” from turning into a full-on spiral

→ The “dimmer-switch” mindset that keeps tracking sustainable long-term

🎧 Hit play to learn how to use tracking as a skill - NOT another diet - so you can collect data, stay consistent, and make measurable progress without losing your head in the process.
