The Truth About Calories, Macros & Food Guilt | what we WISH we knew 80 lbs ago

Some people thrive with strict food tracking. Others spiral into guilt, stress, and obsession. We explore the ways to approach calories, macros, or the scale through our own experiences and what might be best for you.

In episode 3 of Wellness Interrupted, we’re getting honest about how we approach nutrition totally differently and what we’ve learned about food tracking, body image, and mental health over the years.
Katie shares her journey from strict calorie counting to a more intuitive, structured approach that still supports fat loss. Ryan breaks down why macro tracking worked for him on his 40lb weight loss transformation and how to stay consistent without losing your mind.

We talk about:
– Whether tracking is toxic or empowering
– If you really need to count calories to lose fat
– What to do instead of obsessing over the scale
– How our LSF meal plans teach structure without stressing numbers
– Signs your relationship with food might be hurting your progress

If you’ve ever felt stuck between structure and freedom, or guilty about how you eat, this episode will help you reset your mindset and find a strategy that supports your goals and your peace.
