Episode notes
Use Macro Tracking For Awareness
- Track macros to reveal how many calories and macros you actually eat versus what you think.
- Use tracking short-term to build awareness, especially before cuts or bulks, then relax it once informed.
Experienced Estimates Still Miss The Mark
- Even experienced coaches and trainers can misjudge intake by 10–20%, which equals hundreds of calories.
- That error can be the difference between progress and stalling when trying to change body composition.
Prioritize Protein When Adjusting Calories
- Track macros during both cuts and reverse diets/bulks to ensure you actually hit protein and control calories.
- Hit protein first and adjust carbs/fats to manage appetite and bodycomposition.
