Throughout the episode, I offer practical tips and tricks to move from one stage to the next, making macro tracking more manageable, enjoyable and flexible.

Maybe you\u2019ve heard about counting macros or flexible dieting, but you can\u2019t yet differentiate between it and other weight loss methods such as low carb, watching your calories, or a meal plan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to graduate from this stage, you\u2019ll need to understand that tracking macros is less of a traditional weight loss tool and more like a skill you learn and apply to achieve any number of goals.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-868ad5a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"868ad5a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">stage 2 - macro curious<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6cda007 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6cda007\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019re entering the &#8220;macro curious&#8221; territory if you have a basic understanding of macro tracking. Maybe you&#8217;ve dabbled in macro tracking by trying a tracking app or playing around with online calculators to set rough targets, but haven&#8217;t fully committed to following through on your targets quite yet.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moving from this stage and into the next comes after you\u2019ve \u201cplayed in the sandbox\u201d with your targets and actually tried to manipulate your meals with your macros in mind. Learn about the macros in various foods and craft balanced meals with a good mix of each macro. Even if you don&#8217;t hit your goals right away, using a food tracking app consistently will help you understand your eating habits better. Once you&#8217;ve spent some time in the &#8220;sandbox&#8221; and experimented with manipulating your meals to meet your macros, you&#8217;ll be ready to advance to the next stage like a pro!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e89602c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e89602c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">stage 3 - macro annoyed <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1aac408 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1aac408\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This stage of macro tracking is where many people get stuck. This is when you might find yourself either exceeding or falling short of your goals, leading to doubts about the worth of your efforts. You&#8217;re tracking your food when it&#8217;s convenient, but sometimes you end up creating &#8220;franken-meals&#8221; just to reach your targets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But fear not! Moving on from this stage is totally doable with the help of some simple tricks and strategies. Some tips to simplify the process include: using macro checkpoints, <a href=\"https:\/\/emilyfieldrd.com\/blog\/ways-to-meal-plan-around-your-macros\/\">pre-planning your meals<\/a>, and front-loading your macros.

You&#8217;re even able to tweak family meals to fit your macros!<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To progress further, keep tracking your macros no matter the situation &#8211; be it restaurants, social events, or buffets. The key is being able to adjust your meals and meet your macro goals by day&#8217;s end. Some practical ways to reach your macro targets and level up are: adjusting your portions, <a href=\"https:\/\/emilyfieldrd.com\/blog\/how-to-hit-protein-targets\/\">switching protein sources<\/a>, adding healthy fats, choosing carb sources wisely, bulking your meals up with veggies, tracking as you go, and staying flexible!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e3baed4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e3baed4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">stage 5 - macro hesitant<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-901638d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"901638d\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-cf76e55\" data-id=\"cf76e55\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9111174 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9111174\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re feeling macro hesitant, it&#8217;s like saying, &#8220;I got this?&#8221;. You can nail your macro targets when you&#8217;re in control of the food, but handling restaurant eats, social events, or being away from home may make you less confident. In this stage, you&#8217;re tracking your food most of the time, planning meals around your macros, and regularly pre-logging food in your diary.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To boost your tracking confidence, take note of body measurements, weight, progress pics, and improvements in strength, stamina, or power. Assess your hunger, satiety, energy, recovery, digestion, and sleep quality, as eating to your needs should improve these markers. If you notice positive trends, keep up the great work \u2013 you&#8217;re well on your way to mastering the art of macros!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-398aad2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"398aad2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">stage 6 - macro master <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0e3735b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0e3735b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Welcome to the ultimate stage of macro tracking &#8211; where confidence and flexibility rule!
