Why I Challenged Myself to NOT Track Macros for 7 Days

You might be thinking to yourself, “What do you mean you didn’t track macros for 7 days? Isn’t that what you’ve always advocated?”

Yes. That’s true. Since starting Treasured Tablespoons by Kelsey Nicole (and well before), I have been a huge proponent of tracking macros/calories, and I still am! So, why challenge myself to stop? Let me explain.

I strongly believe that tracking macro nutrients is essential to understanding nutrition. Better yet, it is essential to understanding the nutritional needs of your body, a one-of-a-kind body. Becoming knowledgeable about macro nutrients makes you aware of what you put into your one-of-a-kind body. And, if you strive to eat well and live a balanced life, I think it is necessary to be aware of the macro nutrients you consume. This means knowing the difference between the three macros: carbohydrates, proteins, and fats (good and bad).

Just like anything in life, you’ve got to start somewhere. There is no exception when it comes to living a healthy, balanced, full life. It comes easier for some than others, just like throwing a football comes more natural to my little brother than it does myself. In the beginning stages of any fitness journey, tracking macros helps you gain a better understanding of the specific macros your body needs to meet your goals.

With that being said, I began my fitness journey in 2011. I started by solely tracking calories until I learned and understood macro nutrients better. As I stated earlier, everyone starts somewhere. Fast forward to 2017 and I’ve learned a lot via research, personal experience, and watching others. Through trial and error, I started to see what “healthy” and “balance” looked like for me. My one-of-a-kind body is just that, one-of-a-kind, just like yours.

After 7+ years of tracking calories and macro nutrients, it’s started to have an adverse effect on what I was striving so hard for. It was becoming unhealthy. Visualizing how many carbs, protein, and fat I actually ate during the day, in comparison to what I should eat made me feel guilty. (Humor me as I, once again, say there is nothing wrong with tracking macros. Nothing at all. I think it serves it’s purpose in the right time and place. However, I am past that time and place.) Guilt is not healthy. Stress is not healthy. Obsession is not healthy.

Moving forward, I know the amount of protein, carbs, and fats I should consume daily in order to achieve my goals. I can guestimate portion sizes and the amount of calories I’m eating. But most importantly, I have peace when I enjoy an extra scoop of ice cream or glass of wine.

I guess what I’ve come to realize is that my idea of “healthy” changed. What once was a lean physique, no sugar or carbs, and workouts every day turned into a maintainable body, enjoying food daily, making exercise a priority but not letting it rule my life, and having peace and joy about who I am, inside and out. Life is too dang short to live any other way. Amen?!

Myth: self care is selfish.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I used to think self care was selfish. But as the years go by, I'm learning that self care is anything but. In reality, it’s one of the best things we can do to support a healthy mind and body!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here's the truth: when we take care of ourselves, we can better take care of others. Taking it a step further, regular self care means:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Reducing stress⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Increasing happiness⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Supporting a healthy mind and body⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Becoming a better version of you⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And, who doesn’t want that?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
However, in a fast-paced world with little margin, putting time and money aside for "self care" can feel close to impossible! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, how do you know if you need to up your self-care game? Are you...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Agitated or anxious?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Quick to anger or impatience?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Depressed or unmotivated?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Run down or sick often?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If so, the answer is yes. You need a little more self care in your life! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Luckily, self care doesn’t have to be expensive or time consuming. These self care ideas are budget-friendly and easy to do at home! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, what's your favorite way to practice self care? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Coming back atcha with the nourishing food swaps! Coming back atcha with the nourishing food swaps! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We've gotten so backwards with our eating habits and diets, that most of us would consider nourishing foods to be "unhealthy!"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But, I'm here to bust these common food myths and get you on the road to a nourished body 👇🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today's focus: cooking oils! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Next time you load up on cooking oils, you can walk right past the canola oil, sunflower oil, margarine, and olive oil. These oils are highly unstable, meaning they turn toxic at lower cooking temps. And you never want to cook with them! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Instead, opt for STABLE cooking oils, like coconut oil, ghee, grass-fed butter, or avocado oil! Not only do these cooking fats stay stable at higher cooking temps, but they also provide essential fat-soluble vitamins, energize your mind and body, and make your food taste so much better! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don't believe me? Just try it for yourself and let me know how you feel + how much better your food tastes! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Should you drink coffee or skip it?!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
IMO, coffee has unfairly gained a bad rap over the last couple years. Sure, it shouldn't be used as a crutch for energy, but it definitely doesn’t need to be ditched all together!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As with most things in life, coffee comes with it's boundaries. Outside it's boundaries, coffee can cause: gut distress, hormonal imbalance, adrenal fatigue, etc. I'm sure most of us have experienced the bathroom problems, jitters, and anxiety coffee CAN cause, which is why I think there's so much confusion around coffee.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, when is coffee a good thing? Within it's ground rules! 👇🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Coffee Ground Rules:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Never drink coffee on an empty stomach. Without food, coffee creates a hormonal catastrophe. It spikes blood sugar and depletes adrenals, leaving you feeling exhausted later in the day and putting your body into a chronic state of stress.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Add grass fed, raw cream/butter, sugar, and/or collagen to your coffee- but only the real stuff! These REAL ingredients will help regulate your blood sugar and feed your adrenals. The worst thing you can do for your thyroid and adrenals is drink coffee black on an empty stomach!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. Opt for high quality coffee that is third party tested. Most conventional coffee beans are packed with mycotoxins (aka mold) that isn’t healthy to consume. Looking for coffee that is third party tested helps ensure the quality and benefits of your coffee. Personally, I like Four Sigmatic, Bulletproof, and Illy coffee!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'd be lying if I said I didn't LOVE drinking my hot, frothy cup of coffee each morning. But since learning to enjoy it within it's limits, I've felt a HUGE difference. I'm no longer anxious or jittery because due to drinking black coffee on an empty stomach! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, tell me: did you know these coffee boundaries? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

As promised, after a CRAZY few days, we’re back As promised, after a CRAZY few days, we’re back to our regular programming... Starting with adrenal fatigue! 👇🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you suffering from this thing called “adrenal fatigue?”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Unfortunately, most of us are dealing with a degree of adrenal fatigue- thanks to high stress lifestyles, processed diets, exposure to everyday toxins, etc.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Even worse, most of these common symptoms are considered "normal” 🙅🏻‍♀️ And most of us just deal with them, thinking it'll never change. But we are so WRONG!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What if I told you: you don't HAVE to live with brain fog, fatigue, low libido, insomnia, depression, and/or weight gain?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because it’s true!!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you bring your body back into balance, these symptoms naturally dissipate, and once again, you can live with energy, vibrancy, and excitement!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you deal with these symptoms of adrenal fatigue, here's where you can start:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. SLEEP. Aim for 8 hours a night and prioritize sleep over workouts. Without adequate sleep, the adrenals will naturally suffer big time! If you have trouble sleeping, try eating a bedtime snack, eating foods high in magnesium, and blocking out blue light.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. EAT. No, 1,200 calories per day is NOT ENOUGH. Eat more balanced meals, about 3-4 hours apart. And, don't get me started on "low carb" diets. Your body needs carbs for energy, so do your adrenals! Eating now carb is the best way to put your body into a chronic state of stress.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. MOVE. Find a low intensity activity you enjoy (ie. walking, leisurely biking, roller skating) and do it several times a week. If you can get your movement in outside, that's even better. The sun is your best source of Vitamin D! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you suffer from any of these symptoms? What has your experience been with adrenal fatigue? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

In case you missed it, Texas has been dealing with In case you missed it, Texas has been dealing with record breaking temperatures, snow fall, and power outages. *Photo is from day 1 before we knew just how crazy things were about to get!*
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After almost 24 hours without power and water, our water came back on and we’ve experienced intermittent power. I am SO THANKFUL to have a working stove, running water, and warm home. I know so many other Texans aren’t as lucky.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ll be back next week to share about adrenal fatigue, coffee hacks, and more nourishing food swaps. But for now, will you join me in praying for Texas? Specifically for:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• the restoration of power and clean water ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• protection over families and homes⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• quick provision over busted pipes and other house issues⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• warm food and drinking water⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

As someone with a MAJOR sweet tooth, I definitely As someone with a MAJOR sweet tooth, I definitely understand the challenge of sugar cravings! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What about you?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have a feeling most of us are a little too familiar with the challenge of sugar cravings. And if you're not, I don't think I believe you.. 😉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Luckily, sugar cravings aren't JUST sugar cravings. They're a great indicator that our body needs some specific support! When I started listening to my body and feeding it the nutrients it needed, my sugar cravings practically disappeared. Sure, I still LOVE a delicious sweet treat, but it's no longer an insatiable craving. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you want to gain control over your sugar cravings, too?Here's where you can start:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Eat balanced meals with protein, carbs, and fat.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Focus on eating whole foods, instead of processed and packaged options.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. Eat a meal or snack every 3-4 hours.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4. Drink water with a sprinkle of pink Himalayan salt or sea salt throughout the day.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These tips will help regulate your blood sugar, meet your nutrient needs, and provide energy to your mind and body. As a result, you can expect to have LESS SUGAR CRAVINGS! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Homemade cookies! I mean, is that even a question?!?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And these Copy Cat Hippie Chip Cookies are just what you're looking for. They’re a homemade version of the BEST cookie from my favorite hometown bakery. Since I no longer live there, I had to perfect this homemade version and I'd say it's pretty darn close. These cookies are chewy, chunky, and sweet & salty. The best kind of cookie, if you ask me! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But, in case chewy cookies aren't your thing, I have other delicious and nutritious cookies on the blog, like Paleo Chocolate Chips Cookies and Pecan Chocolate Cookie Dough Bites!

Is your liver sluggish? 🤷🏻‍♀️⠀⠀⠀ Is your liver sluggish? 🤷🏻‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fact of the matter is most of our livers could use a little extra love, thanks to poor diets, stressful lifestyles, alcohol and OTC drugs, and other environmental toxins.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fundamentally, a healthy liver is NEEDED for detoxing toxins, producing hormones and cholesterol (yes, you need cholesterol), storing and delivering nutrients, and providing glucose for fuel. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, yeah. Healthy livers are important! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But how do we know if our liver needs some love? Common indicators include skin issues, frequent headaches, digestive upset from greasy/fatty foods, morning sickness, and pain in the upper right abdomen.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Luckily, there are many whole foods that naturally support a healthy liver! To give your liver a little extra love, include these liver superfoods in your diet:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Beets⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Dandelion root⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Bone broth⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Grass-fed liver⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Lemon ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today, do yourself a favor and love on your liver! ❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

When did “eating healthy” get so complicated?! When did “eating healthy” get so complicated?!?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What if we decided to simply EAT REAL FOOD that nourishes and satisfies our bodies?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Over the last several years, I've shifted from a low calorie, artificially sweetened diet to eating real, whole foods and let me tell ya...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have energy. My hormones are balanced and my menstrual cycle is regulated. I no longer crave sweets (but, I still love a good-sized chunk of dark chocolate). I feel satisfied and happy for hours after eating. I'm less likely to feel hangry. My sleep has improved, as well as my mood.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Basically, my life has drastically changed. In the best way possible.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While everyone is DIFFERENT (and this is in no way intended to be a meal plan for anyone), it's a great example of what a typical "day of eating" looks like for me. You'll find lots of nourishing, real foods full of quality carbs, fat, protein, and dare I say... sugar?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you want in on this delicious, satisfying, energizing, anti-diet way of life, give your girl a shout! 👉🏼 @nourishedbykelseynicole⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
