Today, Amanda explains what flexible dieting is and how tracking your macros is beneficial in your health and fitness journey. Flexible dieting is about eating nutrient-dense whole foods and fitting in the foods you crave while staying on track. It also teaches you about nutrition and what a typical portion size looks like.

In this episode, we talk about…

• What is a flexible dieting approach
• The correct way to track your macros
• Specific purposes of the three macro groups—protein, carbs, and fats
• The differences between a meal plan and tracking your macros
• Why do we need to scale your food and track everything into an app

Notable Quotes:

"Track your macros like you're budgeting in your personal finances."

"Many people fear carbs. They think that's what's making them fat. But the reality is that it's the overeating of the carbs that is making them gain weight, or have difficulty in losing weight. Carbs are our main source of energy, we need them to fuel our bodies."
