In the throes of the holiday season, it’s easy to push your nutrition goals to the side and tell yourself you’ll gear up to tackle those big goals in the New Year. But in the spirit of flexible nutrition, we find that this is the perfect time to work on building important skills around eating and making food choices as well as improving your relationship with food.

Eventually, there comes a time when you don’t want to or need to be tracking your macros all the time and it’s certainly not something you want to do forever. So, what’s the next step? In today’s post, I’m sharing how you can use what you’ve learned from the process of tracking your macros and transition to more mindful eating practices.

When it comes to addressing challenges we may face with feeling in control of our nutrition - overcoming a cycle of restricting and binging, being able to enjoy foods we love without overdoing it, removing guilt and the idea of “good” and “bad” foods, etc. Developing intentional eating habits is about as close as we can get to a magic solution.
