You bought the food scale. Downloaded the app. You're done messing around. This is finally going to work. But what if I told you that starting to track right now might be the worst thing you could do? In this episode, I'm breaking down the three questions you need to ask yourself before you download that tracking app. Tracking macros at the wrong time doesn't just fail, it burns you out completely. Learn why tracking can be a recipe for burnout, and the foundations you must have in place before macro tracking will ever work for you, and how to know if you're ready to optimize or if you're just desperate for any solution. Tracking is a powerful tool, but we need to know if it's the right tool for YOU right NOW. Find out if now is your time, or if meal planning comes first. -Rachel Next Steps: Meal Planning on Autopilot Starter Kit-$7 Book a free call to chat about my Fat Loss Formula for Moms coaching program","meta_description":"You're ready to start tracking macros.
