Sometimes life gets so busy that we don’t have as much time to meal prep as we’d like. But meal prep doesn’t always have to be the traditional version of cooking on Sunday...

If there is anything that Crossfitters, bodybuilders, endurance athletes, weightlifters, powerlifters, ballet dancers, cardio bunnies and couch potatoes can unite together and celebrate, it’s the fact that coffee exists and is calorie free.

The problem with this “eat this – not that” approach is that we are making things much harder for ourselves. Here’s why:

While traveling can be such an enjoyable experience, the thought of having to navigate our nutrition while on vacay-mode can also be a little daunting.

You’ve reached your goals! Is it time to stop tracking macros? There’s no need to fear tracking macros because you’re unsure about the long term benefits.

"Slow and steady wins the race,” “quality vs. quantity,” “good things happen to those who wait.” The concept of ‘wait and you shall receive’ isn’t just something said to make you feel better about not getting instant gratification.

You’re going on a road trip and you’ve prepared meals and snacks to ensure you eat well while you’re away. You rock!

Although alcohol has no nutritional value and we recommend limiting its intake, we admit that there are occasions where a “cheers!” is in order.

A common weight loss tactic is eating a low fat diet (not talking to you, ketogenic dieters!). We’re not saying that fat is bad for you. In fact, fat is a crucial macronutrient, but when you start tracking your fat intake you learn a lot.

There’s no doubt that we have all been guilty of thinking, “If I don’t track it, it didn’t happen” or “It’s only a sip, it’s not a big deal.” However, snacking is the silent saboteur to our progress.

That’s a good question — and there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Alcohol consumption is up for debate in the macro counting community.
