Summary

Real talk: Macro Counting doesn't have to be cut and dry. It doesn't have to be black and white. And if this belief is what's holding you back from starting your macro counting journey and ultimately building the body you want, it's time to think again! Macro Counting can be what you need it to be. And, macro counting can evolve as you evolve on your fitness journey. In fact, there are 5 main approaches to macro counting and if you're struggling to stay on track with your nutrition, it's time you pick which approach is best for you.

What I discussed:

Approach # 1: "Testing the waters" Approach. You either track ONLY your protein intake or you only track breakfast and lunch.

Approach # 2: Flexible Approach. With this approach, you will focus on hitting your macros within 10g to 15g of each macro.

Approach # 3: Moderate Approach. This is where you are focusing on hitting macros within 5g to 10g.

Approach # 4: Non-Flexible Approach. This is where you will land within 1g to 5g of each macro.

Approach # 5: Strict Approach. This is where macro counting can trigger you to build an unhealthy relationship with food and it's time for you to take a step back.
