Get ready to discover the power of tracking macros to unlock a world of food freedom, customization, and optimal nutrition. I’ll debunk ideas like “a boring diet is required to see results”, and “hitting your macros every day is necessary for success”. Tune in to learn the truth behind these macro misconceptions and gain a better understanding of how to reach your health goals. Here are some of the myths I debunk: 

  • (1:55) Tracking macros is only for bodybuilders or athletes.
  • (10:10) You have to eat boring, bland food when tracking macros.
  • (16:00) Macros are the only thing that matters for weight loss or muscle gain.
  • (21:30) You have to hit your macros exactly every day for it to be effective.
  • (28:10) You have to weigh and measure absolutely everything.

I hope busting these myths has piqued your interest and encouraged you to give macro tracking a try. Remember, it's not about restriction or rigid rules, but rather about empowering yourself to make informed choices and nourish your body in a way that supports your health and goals.

Are you stressing over every little detail with macro tracking? 

If you’ve ever wondered how to track macros without entering every spice, measuring every gram of lettuce, or perfectly hitting your calorie goal down to the last number, this episode is for you!

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down all the things you don’t need to worry about when macro tracking—so you can focus on what actually moves the needle for your health and body composition goals. Because macro tracking should be simple, flexible, and stress-free, not a math equation that takes over your life.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • (03:02) The foods you can stop tracking immediately – Do veggies really need to be logged? The answer might surprise you!
  • (08:06) Why you should ignore net carbs when macro tracking  – Is “only 3g net carbs” just a sneaky marketing trick? Let’s break it down.
  • (12:34) Why your calorie total never perfectly matches your macros – Those small discrepancies in your macro tracking app? Here’s why they don’t actually matter.
  • (17:40) Flexible macro tracking 101 – Should you stress about eating the exact same amount of protein, carbs, and fats every day? (Hint: nope!)
  • (24:59) The truth about fitness trackers & calorie burn estimates – Are you eating back way more calories than you should when macro tracking for weight loss? Here’s why your smartwatch might be misleading you.

At the end of the day, macro tracking is a tool for empowerment—not something that should make your life harder. I’ll show you how to make it work for you without unnecessary stress.

Ready to simplify your macro tracking?

Hit play now, and I’ll show you how to track macros without the overwhelm so you can focus on what really matters for reaching your goals.

10 Mar 2025How Strength Training Changed the Way I See Fitness, Food and My Body00:21:36

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of endless cardio, calorie counting, and chasing weight loss, this episode is your wake-up call to explore strength training.

For years, I believed that fitness meant shrinking—burning calories, eating less, and doing endless cardio to stay “small.” But everything changed when I walked into a CrossFit gym for the first time. 

In this episode, I’m telling the story about how strength training completely transformed my mindset, about fitness, food and the way I show up for myself. 

We’ll talk about the benefits of strength training, why so many women are afraid to lift, and how strength training for women is the key to unlocking real confidence and progress.

If you’ve ever wondered how to start strength training, or felt intimidated by the weights section of the gym, this one’s for you.

Tune in to hear:

  • (1:00) Why cardio isn’t the magic bullet for fitness we were all told it was.
  • (4:00) How I went from cardio queen to CrossFit convert: Walking into a strength training gym was terrifying—but it also changed everything.
  • (7:00) The unexpected benefits of strength training when it comes to my nutrition – turns out, I was massively under-eating without even realizing it…
  • (10:30) If you’ve ever worried about getting “bulky” from strength training, we’re going to have a serious chat about the benefits of strength training and what really happens when you start lifting.
  • (14:00) How strength training can change your entire mindset around  fitness, food and fueling your body. 

Strength training for beginners doesn’t have to feel overwhelming—you just have to take that first step. 

Whether you’re wondering how to start strength training, or just need a new perspective on fitness, food and how you move your body, this episode will help you break free from restrictive mindsets and embrace what your body is truly capable of.

01 Jan 20245 TellTale Signs of a New Diet Addict00:43:30

Are you jumping from diet to diet, always on the hunt for that perfect plan that will finally help you achieve your health goals? If this sounds like you, chances are you might be a “new diet addict”. 

In this episode, I uncover the hidden costs of this constant diet switching—not just to your waistline but to your overall health and happiness. I'll guide you through understanding the impact this habit has on every aspect of your wellbeing. We'll also discuss how to recognize these patterns and the actionable steps you can take to focus on what really works: a sustainable, macro-focused approach to nutrition. Join me to discover the 5 telltale signs that you, my friend are a “new diet addict”, including:

  • (4:10) Constantly switching diets: Trying numerous diets in a short period, without giving any one method enough time to see results or understand its long-term effects.
  • (8:20) Quick to believe: Being easily swayed by testimonials, celebrity endorsements, or stories without evaluating the scientific basis or potential risks.
  • (14:30) Overlooking health risks: Ignoring potential health risks or side effects of rapidly switching diets.
  • (22:30) External validation: Seeking validation from others about your dietary choices, often wanting to be seen as someone who is "in the know" or ahead of the curve when it comes to health trends.
  • (25:40) Temporary commitment: Starting each new diet with enthusiasm, but the commitment often fades quickly. 
  • (34:00) The alternative to diet switching - what real progress looks like when following a sustainable nutrition plan. 

Remember, it's not about having a new plan every other week; it's about finding what works for you and sticking to it. Let's prioritize our wellbeing together, embracing the slow progress and the little victories along the way.

24 Jul 2023Macro Tracking Made Easy: 6 Stages to Become a Macro Master00:43:39

Did you know there are distinct stages to macro tracking? From not knowing anything about what “macros” even mean or why you should track them, to being able to master counting and finding the flexibility — and freedom — that comes with confident macro tracking.

In this episode of Macros Made Easy, I share the six distinct stages that lead from being "Macro Huh?" to becoming a "Macro Master". 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. So join me to find out where you fall in the macro stages including:

  • (3:05) Stage 1 - Macro Huh?: The initial stage of macro tracking where you literally just heard the word “macro” in the context of nutrition for the first time, and you’re probably not sure what macronutrients are or why you would track them. 
  • (10:40) Stage 2 - Macro Curious: You have a basic understanding of macro tracking, but haven't fully committed to following through on your targets.
  • (16:00) Stage 3 - Macro Annoyed: AKA, the most common stumbling point in macro tracking, where you track food when convenient, but you often find yourself either exceeding or falling short of your goals, leading to doubts about the worth of your efforts.
  • (27:50) Stage 4 - Macro Determined: You can consistently eat to your macro targets, although it still demands considerable focus and effort. 
  • (37:25) Stage 5: Macro Hesitant: This stage sounds like, “I got this?”. In other words, you can hit your macro targets when you’re in control of the food, but you might be less confident about situations where you’re away from home.
  • (38:50) Stage 6 - Macro Master: As a macro master, you’re flexing carbohydrates and fats in order to hit your calorie goals when necessary or more convenient. You’re also feeling comfortable navigating restaurant eats, social events and outings.

So, whether you're just starting or looking to enhance your macro tracking skills, having a sense of self-awareness about where you fall in these six stages of macro tracking helps with visualizing the path forward. I hope this episode helped equip you with the knowledge and motivation to progress confidently on your journey to becoming a Macro Master!

  • (01:45) Is a low-carb diet really better for fat loss? Or are you just losing water weight? What the research actually says about low-carb and weight loss.
  • (6:30) Breaking down the low-carb diet pros and cons—Yes, some people see success, but does that mean low-carb is right for you?

  • (17:00) The most common low-carb diet side effects—How cutting carbs too low can negatively impact your energy, hormones, and ability to build muscle.

24 Apr 2023Why Eating More is Better: The Benefits of Eating More Even if You Ultimately Want to Lose00:27:19

Let me guess… You’ve probably heard that to lose weight, all you need to do is “eat less and move more”. So why does it feel like you’ve been doing exactly that - but nothing’s changing?

In this episode I debunk the common myth that eating less is better for weight loss. I also discuss why eating more in a strategic way might actually help you lose weight more easily and pave the way for long-term success. Some of the things I cover in this episode are:

  • (2:23) Why eating larger quantities of high volume, fiber-rich foods can increase feelings of fullness and satiety, and examples of those foods. 
  • (6:40) How eating more can lead to a higher metabolism, and my thoughts on “The Biggest Loser”.
  • (12:20) How getting a nutrient-rich diet can both directly and indirectly impact your ability to lose weight.
  • (15:52) Why binge eating behavior might occur, and how you can overcome it.
  • (19:45) The secret sauce to getting a leaner, stronger and more fit body.
  • (22:45) Actionable steps to take right now if you’ve been eating too little.

I know it can be scary to eat more when you’ve been told that you should always eat less. But what if you tried something different? I hope this episode has gotten you thinking about eating more to see significant change in the way you look, feel and perform!

I’m breaking down the exact steps I use with clients inside my coaching programs to help them get leaner without going to war with their metabolism. You’ll learn why calories and weight loss aren’t as simple as “eat less, move more” and what to do instead to finally see progress that feels good and sustainable.

Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode:

  • (04:03) The #1 reason most women are stuck: what really happens when you’re eating less but not losing weight (and what to focus on instead)
  • (08:25) The truth about protein: how to use it strategically to build lean muscle and avoid feeling starved while cutting calories
  • (15:16) Skipping meals vs. regular meals — which actually works better for calories and weight loss? The answer might surprise you.
  • (21:32) How small tweaks in food quality can help you get leaner without lowering calories to lose weight
  • (28:05) The cheat code to fat loss you’re probably overlooking: how movement outside the gym supports results—even if you never start cutting calories
  • (33:40) Before you start cutting calories again, ask this: are you truly being consistent? Why it matters more than any macro hack

If you’re tired of playing macro Tetris at night, or feeling confused about why you’re eating less but not losing weight—this episode will give you a clear, doable framework for moving forward.

29 Jan 2024Getting Lean: Lessons from 'The Biggest Loser' for Weight Loss Success00:49:29

Ever wondered about the long-term impact of extreme weight loss TV shows like ‘The Biggest Loser’?

As a dietitian and viewer of the show, I fully understand the allure of ‘The Biggest Loser’. Yes, it is inspiring to watch the contestants' transformations, but rapid weight changes can lead to serious health risks. Plus, the emphasis on quick physical transformations often overshadows the psychological challenges that come with such drastic lifestyle shifts. In fact, the show really shaped how I decided I wanted to practice, which was with kindness and empathy rather than shame and fear.

In this episode, I'm diving deep into ‘The Biggest Loser’ from the unique perspectives of both a die-hard fan and a registered dietitian. I'll be unpacking the show's intense format, the jaw-dropping weight loss of the contestants, and the concerning lack of sustainable aftercare that follows their journey. Join me to hear about:

  • (2:15) The format of the show and its impact on contestants 
  • (08:00) Extreme weight loss and its potential health consequences 
  • (17:15) The critical need for sustainable aftercare post-show 
  • (28:30) The importance of strength training and psychological support in weight loss 
  • (34:30) What I would do differently as a member of ‘The Biggest Loser’ care team

Reflecting on ‘The Biggest Loser’, it's clear there's no one-size-fits-all solution to health. My hope is that this episode helps to shift the focus from dramatic weight loss to embracing individual journeys toward well-being. Each person's path is unique, and recognizing this helps us foster resilience and lasting success.

Have you ever struggled with eating "enough" after a weight loss journey?

01 May 2023The Scale is Not the Only Measure of Success: Understanding and Using Metrics While Tracking Macros00:32:18

Does just the thought of stepping on the scale lead to anxiety or frustration? If it does, it could be because you've been conditioned to believe that the scale is the ultimate measure of success when it comes to our nutrition and fitness goals. 

In this episode, I’m here to tell you that we don’t have to give so much power to the number on the scale! I share why relying solely on the scale can be misleading, and  dive into other metrics you can use to track your progress with macro tracking. Some of the things I cover in this episode are:

  • (2:50) Why weight is the most commonly tracked metric for measuring fitness progress.
  • (4:10) Reasons why the scale is not always an appropriate measure of progress when you want to become leaner and stronger.
  • (8:12) Other metrics to track your progress and success - besides just the number on the scale!
  • (23:55) My top tips for using metrics effectively to reach your goals.
  • (28:05) How tracking metrics other than weight has worked for me and my clients.

By tracking more than just our weight, we can stop giving the scale so much power over our thoughts and behaviors. Using multiple metrics can help us make more informed decisions about our nutrition, leading to improved overall wellbeing.

06 Nov 2023Crunching the Numbers: Navigating Macro Calculators and Dietitian Services00:33:23

If you’ve ever been interested in macros, chances are you’ve played around with a free online macro calculator. Have you ever wondered about the advantages and limitations of free online macro calculators? Well, in this episode, I dive into this topic and share some valuable insights you won’t want to miss.

In a nutshell, free online macro calculators can be a convenient and cost-effective way to determine your macronutrient needs. However, they do have their limitations.

  • (7:00) The limitations of free online macro calculators
  • (17:34) My story of using online macro calculators early in my macro tracking journey

For personalized and accurate macro targets, considering factors like health history, workout routine, and food preferences is essential. So, don't forget the importance of transparency and personalization when it comes to macro calculation.
