369: How to Track Your Macros The Right Way | Live Coaching Session

Get ready for some serious light bulb moments in this episode as I share a live coaching session from one of our MACROS 101 calls with Anna. If tracking your food has ever felt overwhelming, frustrating, or like a constant test of perfection, you’re going to relate to this one. Anna came into our conversation feeling stuck—swinging between obsessively tracking every gram and giving up altogether when she couldn’t be perfect. Together, we unpacked her resistance and reframed tracking as a tool for learning, not a test to pass or fail. You'll hear the exact questions I asked that helped shift her mindset and reveal how powerful a simple perspective change can be. Tracking isn’t about control—it’s about understanding. And when you approach it with curiosity instead of judgment, that’s where the real freedom begins.
