103. Macro Tracking for Every Workout: How to Pair Your Nutrition with Your Training for Better Results
If you’ve ever felt drained halfway through a workout, struggled to recover, or wondered why you’re not seeing results even though you’re tracking your macros, this episode is for you.
I’m breaking down the exact strategy I use to match nutrition with different types of workouts—so your body gets the fuel it needs, when it needs it, without wasting energy or stalling your progress.
You’ll learn:
- Why your macros should shift depending on whether you’re doing strength training, HIIT, Pilates, yoga, or taking a rest day
- How carbs, fats, and protein each play a role in performance and recovery
- Simple example meals for every workout type (so you’re never guessing what to eat)
- What happens when you mismatch your fuel with your training—and how to fix it fast
- The role of adrenal health and cortisol in workout performance and fat loss
Whether you’re lifting heavy, going for a recovery walk, or taking a day off, I’ll show you how to eat smart, not just clean, so you can build muscle, burn fat, and feel strong without burning out.
