episode 84: What is Macro Tracking and when it might be helpful.
If you have read the phrase “macro tracking” online and weren’t sure what it was, this episode is for you. Macronutrient tracking is a nutrition tool, and like every other tool, it has pros and cons. In this episode, I talk (from a balanced perspective) about when this tool might be helpful and when it might be unnecessary or harmful. We cover:
- What macro tracking is and the difference (and similarities) to calorie counting.
- Why people may need a deeper look at their nutrition
- What the research says about our knowledge of our own nutrition
- How macro tracking can help you in your journey with your practitioner
- The major cons of tracking macros
I have recently released a course for practitioners on treating women with PCOS that dives deep on the use of nutrition for the metabolic sides of this condition. The course is for Naturopathic Doctors, Dieticians, and nutritionists to learn the nutrition and integrative approaches for PCOS. You can learn more about the course here.
