Hate Calorie Tracking?

Hey,

If tracking every single calorie or macro sounds like your personal nightmare… this newsletter is for you

We both know you’ve got goals, whether it’s fat loss, more energy, better sleep, or feeling confident in your body again. And while tracking can help, it’s not the only way.

Here’s what to do instead:

1. Focus on quality

Stick to real, unprocessed foods
The fewer the ingredients, the better
You’ll naturally eat more nutrient-dense meals, feel more satisfied, and support your metabolism without obsessing over numbers.

2. Write it down (but don’t count)

No need to log every calorie
Just jot down what you ate.
Bringing awareness to your food choices is a powerful habit. Most people make better decisions the moment they start paying attention. Try it for 3 days and see how it changes things.

3. Use the Plate Method

Here’s a simple visual to build balanced meals:

• ½ your plate = veggies
  

• ¼ = protein
  

• ¼ = healthy carbs (quinoa, sweet potato, rice)
  

• Add healthy fat (olive oil, avocado, etc.)

  
  And don’t forget to hydrate

That’s it, no apps, no math, just results

It’s July… are you on track?

We’re officially over halfway through the year
Time to pause and ask yourself:

• What goals did I set in January?
  

• Have I made any progress?
  

• Do I feel stronger, lighter, happier?
  

• Sleeping better? Clothes fitting differently?
  

Progress isn’t just the scale
Your energy, strength, mood, and consistency all count

Featured Health Find of the Week (Costco Edition)

Nona Lim Organic Turmeric Chicken Bone Broth

This one’s a high-performance hidden gem

• 10g protein per cup
  

• Anti-inflammatory (turmeric + ginger)
  

• Gluten-free, keto, paleo, and Whole30 friendly
  

• Comes in “heat & sip” cups for convenience
  

  Why I love it: It’s perfect for mid-day hunger, post-gym recovery, or a warm, nourishing pick-me-up instead of reaching for snacks. Plus, bone broth is incredible for gut health and collagen support.
