In this episode, I answer 10 honest questions about calorie tracking, fat loss, and why so many people struggle to stay consistent with nutrition. I cover whether you really need to track calories to lose weight, if calorie tracking is becoming obsessive, the biggest beginner mistakes people make, why some people succeed while others still struggle, and what actually happens after you stop tracking.  

So many people use food tracking apps such as Cronometer, My Fitness Pal, and others.With this comes an overall, overrealiance on these apps and taking all the info it provides as absolute truth.This isn't quite so, so we need to unpack this and explain the truth about how to properly use food tracker apps if you are relying on them for your calorie calculation and tracking needs.In this episode, I explain how to approach calorie estimates on food tracking apps the right way. DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualised advice for you! Your unique situation needs to be taken into consideration and adjusting your dietary intake.____________________________________________DOWNLOAD MY FREE MACRO NUTRITION CHEATSHEET Your Guide To Improving Your Macros & Making Meal Prep Easierhttps://theclimbingdietitian.lpages.co/macro-cheatsheet-the-climbing-dietitian/Apply for Bespoke 1:1 Macro Sherpa Nutrition Coaching Program: https://bit.ly/395QmGsCheck out and SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/2Mxqs4WEmail me: aleksa@theclimbingdietitian.com.auTo find me on socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theclimbingingdietitianTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theclimbingdietitianFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theclimbingdietitianTwitter: https://twitter.com/beardyAPDLink to blog: https://bit.ly/330ULq4Check out my website for more information on me and what I do:https://www.theclimbingdietitian.com.au

This Friday Extra Credit episode is a quick little lesson for anyone who feels like they might want to play hooky from tracking for a day. We all know that weighing, measuring, and tracking our food is one of the most accurate ways to improve body composition. It helps us understand what we're eating and how to fuel our bodies well. But let's be honest. After a while, logging your chicken and broccoli for the 500th time can start to feel… a little heavy. At first, tracking feels empowering. You're learning what's in your meals, seeing progress, and connecting choices to outcomes. But over time, it can start to feel like one more thing on your never-ending to-do list. Between work, family, workouts, and life, sometimes the thought of logging every bite can feel exhausting. The good news? You don't have to choose between staying on track and staying sane. Today I'm going to give you some tracking hacks so you can lighten the mental load while still making meaningful progress toward your goals.

If you're a mom wondering when you should start tracking macros, this episode is for you. I get this question all the time, especially from new moms who want structure but are unsure if this is the right season. In this bonus episode, I walk you through three honest questions to ask yourself before you start tracking so you can decide if it will support you right now. I talk about whether you're past the early healing phase postpartum, whether you truly have the mental bandwidth to track consistently, and how to tell if tracking will feel supportive instead of stressful. Macro counting is an amazing tool, but timing matters. Here are the three questions I break down: • Am I past the healing phase? • Do I have the mental bandwidth? • Will this add support to my life right now? If you are ready for structure, you can learn more about Macro Counting Made Simple at macrocountingmadesimple.com. And if this episode gave you clarity, make sure you're following the podcast and share it with another mom who needs this conversation. If this episode resonated with you, I also recommend listening to The Do's and Don'ts of Nourishing Your Body Postpartum, which I've linked in the show notes. It will give you even more clarity on how to fuel your body well in this season.

Confused about tracking macros, or stuck in a weight loss cycle of cutting carbs, cutting fat, and still feeling like nothing is sustainable? In this episode, I break down exactly what macros are, why protein, carbs, and fat all matter for metabolism health, energy, and muscle, and how tracking macros supports fat loss without living in restriction. You'll also learn why low carb and low fat approaches often backfire, how to lose fat with a realistic macro strategy, and why a reverse diet can be the missing step for women who have tried "every diet under the sun".

If you've been tracking macros for years and still don't trust yourself around food… this episode is for you! In this Boss Bitch Radio episode, I'm talking to the competitors, the ex-competitors, the MyFitnessPal queens, the women who live and die by their macro numbers. If you feel like the only way you can stay "on track" is by weighing every gram and logging every bite, we need to have a real conversation. I'm not here to bash macro tracking. It can be a powerful tool. I've used it for over a decade. I competed almost 20 times as an IFBB Pro. I know what it takes to get shredded. But I also know what it costs. If you're a competitor, former competitor, chronic dieter, or woman trying to heal your relationship with food after years of macro tracking, this episode will hit.

Send a textToday's episode is a special one because I'm feeling that excitement again, being back behind the mic and now sharing the biggest lessons I've learned from 10 years of coaching and working with over 10,000 women. I dive into why macro tracking is a tool, not a diet, why progress doesn't always look like success, and why mindset and self-trust matter more than perfect plans. I also talk about how to fit macros into your life, the key questions to ask before starting any fitness journey, and why this was never really about the food. If you've ever felt stuck or felt like you've failed before, this episode will help you look at your fitness journey through a completely new lens.Find show notes at bicepsafterbabies.com/401Follow me on Instagram and Tiktok!Links:bicepsafterbabies.com/trackingbootcamp

If you have ever felt awkward, defensive, or uncomfortable because you are tracking macros or paying attention to how you eat, this episode is for you. I want to talk about why doing something reasonable for your health can feel socially uncomfortable and how to stay grounded when it does.For many women, tracking macros is not actually the hard part. The hard part is the comments, the jokes, the looks, and the feeling that you need to explain or justify yourself. In a world that makes health hard, choosing intention often means stepping outside the default, and that can create discomfort for other people.In this episode, I break down why tracking macros can trigger reactions and why those reactions usually have very little to do with you. I explain how macros are not a diet or a moral stance, but a practical tool for navigating an environment built around convenience, distraction, and overconsumption.We also talk about how to stop explaining macros to everyone around you. I walk you through who actually deserves context and who does not, and how to talk about tracking macros in a calm, confident way without turning meals into debates or draining your energy.I reframe macros as a skill rather than a ruleset. Similar to budgeting or time management, tracking macros works as a practical tool that provides structure in a noisy environment. When health is hard, having a practical tool reduces guesswork and builds awareness without obsession or rigidity.You will hear:• Why tracking macros often feels socially uncomfortable• How the environment makes health hard by default• Why macros are a practical tool, not control• When explaining macros helps and when it does not• How to stay confident without over-explainingBy the end of this episode, I want you to feel more settled in the truth that you are not doing anything wrong by being intentional. Tracking macros is not about perfection. It is about awareness, adaptability, and using a practical tool to support yourself in a world that makes health hard.If you want language, perspective, and permission to stop shrinking your choices or explaining macros just to keep other people comfortable, this episode will support you.RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Access free and low-cost resources and services from this episode HERE!Read the full show notes for this episode HERE!CONNECT WITH EMILY FIELD RD:InstagramWebsiteFacebook

Why tracking isn't meant to control you, and how I use it now as a tool for freedom, not restriction.

I'm excited to keep our macros series rolling today, because it's not enough to just “know” what macros are. The magic happens when you actually START tracking them! This isn't about being “perfect”, or obsessing over every bite. It's about awareness, creating habits, and finally understanding how your nutrition lines up with your goals. If you've ever felt like tracking was “too much,” overwhelming, or just plain confusing, this episode is going to make it feel sooo much more doable!Real talk: if you're not measuring, you're just guessing. You can't “guess” your way into a stronger, leaner, or healthier body. Tracking gives you the clarity to see what's really going on, and from there, you can decide where to adjust. That's where the freedom comes in, because you learn what works for you without cutting out foods, or living by certain “food rules”!Remember - tracking macros is NOT about being perfect. It's about building consistency, awareness, and creating the body (and confidence) you want!Episode recap:Why tracking macros really matters (and NOT obsessive)Simple ways to start tracking + make it feel doableHow to set macro targets that match your goalsTools & tips to make tracking easier and more effectiveCommon mistakes to avoid when tracking your foodWhy macro tracking actually gives you MORE freedom with foodAction steps you can start implementing this weekLinks/Resources:Ep. 205 |  WTF Are Macros (And Why You Can't Ignore Them) | Macros SeriesEp. 206 | Macros Decoded: Why Protein, Carbs & Fats Actually Matter | Macros SeriesListen to the Sol Fit PodcastJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

"I would cry almost every day because of how hungry I was, but I didn't have enough macros to eat what I needed."If you've been tracking macros, calories, or points, and you are starting to feel like it's taking over your life, this episode is for you. And even if you don't track, but find yourself thinking about food constantly or that you're failing when you're not following a food plan perfectly, this conversation will resonate.In this episode we get to hear from Jaimie, a fellow Rebel, who has experienced a 180 in her relationship with food after years of obsessing over numbers. Jaimie shares how food feels less loud now and how she's back to doing things she loves and food no longer dictates her mood, her day, or her self worth.My conversation with Jaimie paints a clear picture of how something that seems harmless like tracking macros can slowly chip away at your joy, your body trust, and your relationship with food. BUT Jaimie's story also shows what food freedom looks like on the other side!What You'll Learn:How Diet Culture conditions us to ignore our body cues and dismiss our feelings of dieting overwhelmWhy we keep dieting even when we know it isn't healthyHow to shift away from food guilt and move away from trackingWhat Jaimie has done to stay grounded and not return to her old habitsWhat the journey to food freedom has looked like for Jaimie (and why it's possible for you too!)If you are tired of thinking about food all the time, Jaimie's story will give you hope that a more peaceful and intuitive relationship with food is possible.Thank you to Jaimie for sharing so vulnerably so others may be able to break away from tracking and experience food freedom like she has.Struggling with food, but not sure where to start?You don't have to feel 100% ready to get support.
