![]() It takes a little extra effort but is worth it! ![]() I always log all of my meals the night before so I can make small adjustments to make sure that I hit all of my macros. This is a tip that you will hear a lot, but it is crucial in your success!! If you just “wing it” there is a pretty good chance you won’t be successful. I also am including some free macro meal plan templates at the end of the post–so make sure to scroll down! Tip 1: Pre-log your meals! I know understand so much about food that I can eat in a really balanced way without measuring or tracking all of my food– because who wants to do that forever?!Īs I am getting ready to start counting macros again for the Madeline Moves Tighter Together challenge this month, I thought I would post a few of the tips that really helped me when I was learning how to track macros. Eventually (for me at least) counting macros helps you learn how to eat intuitively. You can’t go carb crazy, but you can definitely have a treat here or there and still meet your goals. So while counting macros definitely encourages you to make healthy food choices–it also promotes balance. Rather than focusing solely on calories, you focus on these macronutrients and try to comprise your diet of a certain percentage of each macronutrient. I feel like I have truly tried every diet known to mankind over the course of the past ten years, but counting macros is truly my favorite! Why? Because when you count macros (macronutrients), you are learning about the composition of food–how many carbs, protein and fats are in food.

I didn’t want to spend all of this effort cooking and cleaning for meals that didn’t taste good and/or had little nutritional value. I wanted my kids to learn that cooking their own meals at home would be essential for their overall health, BUT I HATED cooking. I knew I wanted something different for my kids. The truth is, the majority of American families eat out of the drive thru because of convenience but HEAR THIS, there is a definite correlation between America’s health problems and our drive thru culture that we have to intentionally fight against EVERYDAY. Learning to LOVE cooking has been a hard fought battle that I celebrate. You can read more about my personal family story HERE. I LOVED it and still have deep nostalgia for a crunch wrap supreme. We’d eat our meals in the car on the way to volleyball practice. ![]() In fact, most nights my *single* mama would call me on her way home from work and ask if I wanted Taco Bell or Burger King.
