Welcome to Embrace Your Real with me, Julie Ledbetter, a podcast where I empower you to just be you. My hope for you is to stop hating your body, picking a part every flaw, questioning your worth, doubting your strength, making excuses, and constantly starting over.

5 Steps to Beginning Your Macro Counting Journey Jul 04, 2022

Show notes

Newsflash: Macro counting is NOT a one-size-fits all approach to nutrition. If you took two people with the same height, weight, and body fat percentage, their required calories could still vary by several hundred or even a thousand calories per day. What does this mean for you? You can't just copy and paste someone else's macros and use them as your own. Plus, there are different phases of macro counting and depending on your goals, you need to start in a certain phase. So that leaves us with the pressing question: Where do we begin? That is exactly what I discuss in this episode of the Embrace Your Real Podcast. Get ready for simple 5-step guide to starting your macro counting journey! What I discuss: Step #1: Track your food without any macro goal. Step #2: Calculate your maintenance macros. Step #3: Figure out which phase you need to enter into and COMMIT to it. Step #4: Set yourself up for success. Step #5: Be Patient with yourself and give yourself grace!
