In this episode, we’re talking about how to eat enough without feeling like you have to track every single bite forever. We share our perspective on tracking; when it’s useful, when it becomes a crutch, and why the goal isn’t lifelong food tracking but long-term awareness. We break down why so many women unintentionally under-eat, how that affects metabolism, hormones, energy, and fat loss, and the common signs your body might need more support. We also walk through practical ways to build balanced meals, anchor around protein, and use performance markers like strength, recovery, and mood instead of just calorie numbers. If you’ve been stuck between rigid tracking and “winging it,” this episode will help you find structure without obsession.
