5 Key Takeaways
Macros Are a Language—Learn to Speak It Fluently
Learning macros isn’t just about tracking—it’s about understanding nutrition. The more you weigh, measure, and log at home, the more confident you become estimating when eating out. It’s a skillset that creates freedom and flexibility.Planning Ahead is Queen Energy
If you know you’re going out, take a few minutes to research the menu, pre-log your meal in MyFitnessPal, or choose a similar item from a chain restaurant with known macros. Prior proper planning prevents piss-poor performance—as Greg cheekily reminds us.Control What You Can, Release What You Can’t
When you’re not in full control of your meal (like when traveling or dining out), focus on what you can control: choose grilled or steamed proteins, go easy on sauces, ask for veggies, and stick to foods you’re familiar with.Portion Awareness is More Powerful Than Perfection
Whether you’re in prep or off-season, being aware of your portions and how they affect your body is key. Not every meal needs to be logged to the gram, but even untracked meals should be approached with mindfulness.Macros Should Serve Your Life—Not Control It
Tracking is a tool, not a prison. Use it to create freedom, enjoy social moments, and still move toward your goals. Meals out can still be delicious, joyful, and aligned with your intentions—yes, even sushi night!
