If you've been tracking macros for years and still don't trust yourself around food… this episode is for you!

In this Boss Bitch Radio episode, I'm talking to the competitors, the ex-competitors, the MyFitnessPal queens, the women who live and die by their macro numbers. If you feel like the only way you can stay "on track" is by weighing every gram and logging every bite, we need to have a real conversation.

I'm not here to bash macro tracking. It can be a powerful tool. I've used it for over a decade. I competed almost 20 times as an IFBB Pro. I know what it takes to get shredded. But I also know what it costs.

If you're a competitor, former competitor, chronic dieter, or woman trying to heal your relationship with food after years of macro tracking, this episode will hit.
