Guessing your meals? Here’s why you should track your macros.

Lamb, mash and peas with fetta.

Sometimes, it’s the simple meals that keep us on track and make all the difference! Here’s one of my go-to dinners: lamb with veggies and mash – a total comfort dish that hits every nutritional mark.

Why track it? Because knowing your meal breakdown gives you more than just numbers – it gives you insight.

Tracking isn’t about obsessing; it’s about awareness. When you know what’s on your plate, you’re able to assess your day as a whole and make adjustments where needed.

For example:
☝️Are you getting enough protein throughout the day?
☝️How balanced are your carbs, fats, and fibre?
☝️How does this meal fit into your goals or workout needs?

Some might look at this meal and think, “586 calories is too much!”

But often, it’s the untracked snacks and add-ons that add up quickly. Without realising it, many meals can end up being well above this – especially when we’re not checking in with what we’re eating.

Keeping tabs on the nutritional breakdown helps you make sure you’re fuelling your body, not just filling it. And the best part of tracking? It’s a powerful tool that lets you enjoy the food you love without the guesswork.

👉 If you want to keep things simple and effective? Start by tracking one meal a day and build from there. The more consistent you are, the better you’ll understand your body and what it needs.
