I recently found you about 1 month ago and have been doing your exercises 5xs a week. You are so helpful and I just wanted to thank you. I’m a bit overwhelmed with all of the exercises trying to put them together into a weekly routine. Would you be willing to do a video on weekly routines that target all body muscles? Realistically a person who strength trains 3-4 times a week. There aren’t any videos on this. Just videos on individual exercises or muscle groups. This would be really helpful. You already have the ones for daily stretches which is great. It would just be helpful to have a full weekly routine of strength training and we can switch it up with some of the exercises you’ve already taught us from other videos you’ve made. Please consider this and thanks again for helping us become healthy!

Tracking helps me maintain and restrain. I prioritize protein, which until I started tracking macros I didn't realize I was probably under-consuming protein for a long time. I also find tracking also keeps me accountable. It can also be a good way to consciously recognize the difference between wanting to eat more and needing to eat more. Finally, I think tracking is a great way to understand the quality of food you eat. There are a lot of really tasty foods out there that provide very little in terms of nutrition at the cost of high calories. For me, it's just not worth eating some of those things (or, having them in small quantities).

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

YES! It's truly that accountability and focus that it provides so you can eat according to your needs and goals even as they change over time!

[@Amanda-fg3ep]

I am a prime example of not tracking the spoonfuls of peanut butter that I don't want to count 😆. Thanks for giving me the kick in the pants I needed to admit that to myself! I'm sure my untracked 10pm peanut butter habit will eventually catch up to me if I don't track-n-tweak. Thanks again for jump-starting my introspection!

[@vylia]

Great explanation. Thank you! I started tracking macros one month ago, and it takes a lot of effort to correctly do it. I struggle with meeting the protein requirements, but I'll focus now on it. It was a good advice.

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

Think small tweaks! Sometimes it's one more ounce of something. Or even a slight change in exact ingredients like adding in quinoa instead of rice!

I needed this video today! I’m starting Weight Watchers (again) which is basically rooted in the concept of tracking food intake. It’s so hard not to feel like giving up when you blow through your daily point allotment by 2pm. This video reminds me that we have to know where we are to know where we are going. Tomorrow I will know better and try to put more time between my carb based foods. Progress not perfection!

[@maryhamric]

It's a pain but what I do is add up all the calories for all the ingredients that go into the recipe. Usually my family eats it all in similar portion sizes. So I take the meal calories (and macros) and divide by the number in my family.

I use the cronometer app (the free version), it has a recipe builder that gives you a nutrition label for your recipe. It's not 100 percent accurate, but it doesn't have to be in order to provide some benefits.

I started asking my wife questions because she has been hitting many of her goals and she started pointing me toward content like yours and some of your videos and wow, im jist beginning to realize jist how much I didn't know. My goal is not to calorie count but instead to hit the right mix of nutrients I need to turn the exercise I do into the body composition I want. And even here at the beginning I'm realizing just how badly I've been balancing carbs and protein. I look forward to your information adding to the tools I use and jist wanted tonsay thank you!

Once I started tracking my macros with meal prepping and measuring, my body change has been so dramatic. I could not believe what I was putting into my body was that far off of good nutrition. The milk and protein bars with the lack of veggies (even though I love them) created such an poor balance.

I told chatGPT to tell me the total calories, protein, fat, and carbs from a recent meal. I told it the ingredients and grams of each. It did it. I then asked it if it was a good keto meal, and it suggested that there could be more fiber and that there was probably too much salt.

[@robinmagdahlen2721]

Thanks. This was helpful. I’m just starting to track macros for muscle building. Not fat loss which means I need to consume more. And you are right, this is what I struggles with the most. Easy enough to shove some sweet potato or berries down my gob and have the carbs covered. Protein was harder. So I’m taking your advice and really concentrating on the protein this week and not worrying so much about the carbs and try to keep the fats from getting over extended.

Siggi's greek yogurt is amazing, eating more chicken breasts - I bake chicken and then portion out more during the week for the meals with chicken, adding more to a meal - canned tuna and chicken. I have also added a lot more fish in my diet, especially salmon. Also look into stuff like Kodiak cake muffins, they are great for a little extra boost of protein, but also satisfy my sweet tooth. I add butter to those as well, to get my fat macros up.

[@amybutler8337]

Very helpful video, thank you! I have a question on one of your suggestions. You recommend trying to hit your protein numbers as an early goal. Are you referring to a number of protein grams per day to try to achieve? Because if I keep eating protein that also has some fat (as an example) my ratios will still be off. I may eventually eat the right number of grams of protein but it likely will be less than the 40% protein I needed to achieve. I’ve been monkeying around in LoseIt! and the ratios have been tricky based on the recipes I’m currently eating. (Sorry...I like math 😁).

[@Heather-qf3jo]

If you're just starting know that you can do it. Redefining Strength is correct when she recommends beginning by tracking your protein. Drink water because that will help you digest and absorb nutrients. When I started it took me a month to be able to comfortably eat my protein macros from food (not overly relying on protein powder or bars). I'm lifting heavy so am focused on muscle building. As others have commented, I thought I was eating well, enough protein etc. before, but my nutrition is much more satisfying and manageable now. I feel great and wish I had understood how to eat this way earlier. And do measure. I don't use "cups, teaspoons, tablespoons" anymore. I just go by weight. For me, tracking my macros was the main component that helped me to lose 8" off my waist as a woman over 40.

[@HeatherFonseca]

I totally agree that tracking macros can be frustrating, and it’s best to tweak a little at a time. I tried to jump right in to a 40% protein ratio and was completely unprepared for how hard it is to get protein up that high! In fact I still usually can only get to 20% even eating good protein sources in every meal. I pretty much think getting 40% of your macros from protein has to be a myth. No idea how anyone does it!

[@sandrahernandez6109]

Really I thought I was the only one, I'm like how do I eat All these protein.. how you gotten any closer?

@@sandrahernandez6109 no, I gave up. I think it’s probably easier if you’re not trying to loose weight too. You basically can’t eat ANY fat, and all the images she shows of the grilled salmon with the rice and the broccoli are bogus. You can’t eat any rice or grains or your carbs will be too high. I did find that adding collagen powder to my coffee in the morning helped. Actually protein powder in general is really helpful, but forget trying to do it with natural/whole protein sources.

I have just started but whether it is Keto or something else, it is a much better idea to follow recipes which are already created. There are a million so the chance of you not finding something you like is next to zero. The advantage is, as you change your diet, it is likely the things that you are used to eating won't work, and online recipes not only provide you with great tasting meals that will help you towards your goals, they come with macros provided.

I tend to eat more fat , so I’m not worried about not fully hitting carbs, I also have been good with getting 125g of protein more of less. I’ve been making sure to hit my overall calories. Protein is so important, it helps me not crave for sugar. My weight has been stable for these few weeks which is a huge deal!

[@terrencemartin2621]

Excellent video and spot on! I have used macro tracking for several years now and have had excellent results in achieving my goals! I do not find it inconvenient or a hassle but I built up the habit over a long time. I do keep in mind that tracking is not perfectly precise. Both food labels, and the specific caloric and macro content of an item of food by weight are only an estimate. Even with the margin of error tracking is substantially more accurate than going by visual guesstimate. I mostly cook and prepare my own food, if I do eat out though I know that I stuck to my plan on the days prior, and will go back to it tomorrow!

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

I think the key thing is just to be consistent in how YOU do it. There is definitely deviation in everything but by doing it consistently at least we can tweak what our data is! And by weighing and measuring to start, you start to have a better visual of true portions to keep you on track even when you do eat out. All a learning process!

I know that it is probably such a small detail, but I love you for using plant based and not vegan when talking about nutrition and macros. Because veganism isnt about what we eat - sure you just dont eat some foods, but it isnt for health or something that has something to do with you. Its for animals and about not causing harm. Plant base on the other hand talks only about food. So as I said - love ya for this little detail. Also for saying that we can have problems with protein intake not just on a plant based diet but even on carnivore diet. ❤️💕
