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.
