This week we’re talking check-ins. If you have a nutrition coach or really any kind of coach, you probably have some sort of regularly scheduled touch base with your coach to catch up about how things are going. So, other than checking the box off your to-do list (check-in: done) and a brief touch base with your coach, why are check-ins so important? Today we’re breaking it down and offering advice from a coaching perspective about how you as a client can get the most out of your check-ins.

A few weeks ago, I asked both current and past clients in my Facebook group the following question: If you could give one piece of advice to those who are new to tracking macros, what would it be?

The responses received and conversation that followed were so very valuable. Those with months (or even years) of experience were able to share their insight into what has worked for them, and those new to tracking were able to glean some new advice and share what has been helpful to them so far. Today I wanted to share a few of those tips with you!

To show you a bit of what tracking your macros can look like, the coaches are showing you what a full day of eating looks like for each of them and their specific goals. While we all follow the same concept of flexible nutrition, our approaches are very different.

Meet Coach Whitney: the newest member of the KLN Team

While we all know that a majority of our nutrition should come from whole, unprocessed foods, life is busy and sometimes we need some options for when things get crazy and we're on the go. These products have been total lifesavers when it comes to packing for a short vacation, road trip, or even just a busy day out. They are macro-friendly, meaning geared towards helping you stick to your macro goals by being higher in protein or providing more volume for fewer macros.
