#413; what should my macros be? the truth no one tells women over 35 (+ why calculators keep you stuck)

feel like you’ve tried every macro calculator, but still don’t know what you should actually be eating?

what if you’ve been asking the wrong question this whole time?

because if you think the solution is just finding the right macro ratio or calorie target,

i’m going to show you why that’s actually what’s keeping you stuck.

in this episode, we’re not just talking about macros — we’re dismantling the entire way you’ve been taught to think about them. if you’ve ever googled “how many calories should i eat?” or felt stuck between obsessively tracking and totally winging it, this episode is your permission slip to stop blaming your body and start asking better questions.

we’re going deep into:

• why 1400–1600 cals isn’t “maintenance” — it’s survival

• the reason macro calculators keep failing you

• how to build habits in maintenance (not deficits)

• the missing piece between numbers and results: trust

takeaway #1: if your digestion is wrecked, your energy’s tanked, or your sleep sucks — your macros won’t work.

takeaway #2: stop optimizing before you’re even consistent. standardize first. then build.

this isn’t just about macros. this is about reclaiming your progress. so if you’re stuck in food fear, low energy, or chronic second-guessing — this one’s for you.

if you’ve tracked for years, still feel lost, and are ready to do it differently – this episode is here to explain it all to you. ground up. and why it matters to put the time in to getting it right.
