Tracking what you eat and drink can be a powerful tool for making sure that you're getting in the right amount of calories and macronutrients that you need every day. But for most of us, tracking isn't something we need to all the time. For many of my clients, we track calories and macronutrients mainly when we're trying to make a change. Once you have a good sense of how much you need to eat of the different food groups to meet your goals every day, and this eating pattern is well established as a habit, you can generally begin to track less. 🥦 As an alternative to tracking every day, you can also do the math and calculate roughly how much of the different types of foods you'll need to eat every day to meet your calorie and macronutrient goals. In this way, you shoot for reaching a general goal for how many sources of protein, how many cups of vegetables, how many grains-based foods you can eat every day. This works well for many people as a more refined strategy based in the MyPlate Model. 🍏 At the end of the day, you have to choose the strategy that's most helpful for you. Tracking isn't something that helps everyone (especially if you have a nervous or anxious relationship with food).
