“What if I have no idea how to fuel myself without tracking macros? And what does that say about me as an expert in the field of nutrition?”
The more Dr. Fundaro wrestled with macro tracking, the more she wanted to find an alternative.
Something that would support her nutritional goals while also giving her a sense of freedom and peace around food.
Calorie counting wouldn’t do it. That was just as restrictive as counting macros—maybe more.
Intuitive eating didn’t seem like a good fit either. Intuitive eating relies heavily on a person’s ability to tune into internal hunger and fullness cues to guide food choices and amounts. After years of relying on external cues (like her macro targets), Dr. Fundaro didn’t feel trusting enough of her own instincts; she wanted more structure.
