\u201cOMG that dessert was divine, but it was<\/span> more carbs than I shoulda had<\/i><\/span>.\u201d\u2063\u2063<\/span><\/p>

\u201cI thought I grabbed the best option but after I logged it, I was <\/span>really surprised by the carbs<\/i><\/span>.\u201d \u2063\u2063<\/span>
\u2063\u2063<\/span>
\u201cThat smoothie bowl was delicious, but man, it was <\/span>way higher in carbs<\/i><\/span> than I expected.\u201d\u2063\u2063<\/span>
\u2063\u2063<\/span>
Hold up!<\/b><\/span> Let\u2019s stop the macro shaming.\u00a0\u2063<\/span><\/p>

Each day that you attempt to track macros, you\u2019re learning: \u2063\u2063<\/span>
\u2063\u2063<\/span>
>> what\u2019s ActUaLlY in your favorite foods\u2063\u2063<\/span>
>> which foods leave you hungry and munchie \u2063\u2063<\/span>
>> it\u2019s hard to overeat on whole, real foods\u2063\u2063<\/span>
>> preparing food at home is a challenge worth overcoming\u2063\u2063<\/span>
>> nuts are not a great source of protein \u2063\u2063<\/span>
^^ that last one was for me\u2063\u2063<\/span>
\u2063\u2063<\/span>
No one expects you to play an elaborate game of tetris – puzzle piecing your way to hitting your macros perfectly every single day. \u2063\u2063<\/span>
\u2063\u2063<\/span>
Look, I know it\u2019s important to you to eat enough and feel your best, so what\u2019s a girl to do in this situation?\u2063\u2063<\/span>
\u2063\u2063<\/span>
Attempt to hit your calorie goals and your protein targets, while adjusting fats down to accommodate overshooting your carbohydrate targets.\u2063\u2063<\/span>
<\/b>\u2063\u2063<\/span>
>> Splitting cake with your girlfriends after lunch means you\u2019ll hold back a little cheese or avocado later during taco night with the fam.\u2063\u2063<\/span>
\u2063<\/span>
>> When you do get the chance to eat a meal after a day of errands, you\u2019ll prepare something filling, high in protein and with lots of vegetables. \u2063\u2063<\/span>
\u2063\u2063<\/span>
>> Next time you order that acai smoothie bowl, you might ask for toppings like nuts or coconut shavings because you prefer it more balanced.\u2063\u2063<\/span>
