Tracking Macros + Why I Like This Reset

Building + Maintaining Muscle As We Age

Last week when I mentioned tracking macros a few of you mentioned you would love to hear more. Today I will share why I am doing this and how you can do it if you choose to!

Let's address a common misconception: tracking macros is not synonymous with dieting. In fact, macro tracking is highly personalized and tailored to your individual goals, it will look different for everyone. When I shifted my focus from cardio to weightlifting, I became curious about macro tracking. However, I initially dismissed it as excessive and unnecessary. It took me several years to finally give it a try after I encountered a plateau in my muscle-building journey.

My initial goal when I started tracking was to gain weight + muscle overall. After 4 pregnancies + years of breastfeeding, I had little muscle (also thanks to OVERDOING cardio). I wanted to feel strong and I knew I wasn’t eating enough protein. Protein is especially important when muscle building and even more important as we age.

What you will find below behind the paywall:

• Why I love tracking macros and why it’s important as we age

• How I track - the calculator I use and the app I use to track
