[Rewind] A Beginner's Guide to Understanding and Tracking Macros

Macros Made Easy with Emily Field RD

This week, I’m thrilled to re-release our most popular episode of the podcast. This episode was the very first, and it’s still a fan favorite because it covers the essentials of macros and how they can transform your approach to nutrition.

Since we launched, this episode has continually resonated with listeners who are curious about macros, tracking them, and how this approach can fit into their lives. It’s a great starting point for anyone new to macros or looking to revisit the basics.

Join me as I dive into:

• (2:10) What are macros and why are they important to understand?
• (2:50) Reasons why you should track macros
• (6:10) Actionable steps to get started tracking macros
• (14:50) What is a macro prescription, and how can you get one?
• (17:00) Is macro tracking right for you?

One thing I’ve realized since recording this episode over a year ago, is that I should have emphasized more about embracing the learning process and giving yourself permission to be a beginner. Remember, it's okay to make mistakes and learn as you go—this journey is all about progress, not perfection!

I hope you find this re-released episode as helpful and inspiring as ever. If you enjoyed it, I’d love to hear from you! Share your takeaways by tagging me on Instagram with a screenshot of the episode. And don’t forget to follow, rate, and review the podcast—your feedback means the world to me and helps shape future episodes!
