Macro Counting Isn’t a Diet…
Yep! I said what I said. And if you were taught them in the passed by someone that used them wrong, I am sorry! Counting macros is a tool. And just like a hammer can be used to destroy something or build something beautiful, macro counting can be used in very different ways.
If you’ve ever used macros with a dieter’s mindset, it probably felt rigid, obsessive, or defeating. But when you learn to use macros with wisdom, curiosity, and support, they become a framework for reaching your goals.
You stop fearing food.
You stop outsourcing your health.
And you start building confidence, sustainable results, and self-trust.
And here’s the facts:
Counting macros isn’t about restriction. It’s about data.
And data is just another word for information.
And information? That’s power.
What Are Macros?
Macros—short for macronutrients—are the three main categories of nutrients your body needs in large amounts:
Protein – for building and repairing tissue (including skin, muscle, hormones, even neurotransmitters)
Carbohydrates – your body’s preferred source of quick energy
Fats – essential for hormone health, brain function, cell integrity, and long-term energy
Every food (except for pure water) contains some combination of these three macronutrients. When we track macros, we’re simply becoming aware of how much of each one we’re consuming.
But Isn’t Tracking Macros Just Another Diet?
Not the way I finally learned it and now teach it!
Most women have only encountered macro tracking through a diet lens:
Eat this much. Don’t eat that. Follow these numbers that I have set for you or you’re doing it wrong.
That’s not what I teach.
In EmpowerHER Nutrition, we use macros as a tool, not a rulebook.
We don’t count macros to judge ourselves—we count them to understand ourselves.
Why Macros Matter
Here’s why they’re so powerful:
If you’re feeling exhausted, it’s not because you’re lazy—it might be because your carb intake isn't right for your body.
If you’re not building muscle, it might not be your workout —it might be the amount of protein you eat.
If you’re craving sugar constantly, it might not be “lack of willpower"—it might be blood sugar swings from an imbalanced meal or eating inconsistency.
If your hormones are imbalanced, it might be because you aren’t eating enough healthy fats!
Your body is trying to tell you something.
Macros help you listen.
Making Decisions Based on Data—Not Emotion
For example:
You can see how your body responds when you increase protein.
You can tell if eating less carbs really helps you feel better.
You can adjust based on how your body feels and the results you get, not based on someone else’s template.
It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being curious.
Tracking macros is just one way to collect information about what your body needs.
