I have written several times about the very cool lifestyle feature in Beyond the Whiteboard. Read this post if you missed it. The BTWB Lifestyle feature helps you keep track of your sleep, hydration, mobility, nutrition, fish oil consumption and how your body feels. Sleep, hydration, mobility and nutrition are the 4 lifestyle factors have the greatest affect on your health and wellness. I'm super excited about BTWB Macro Tracking feature. For a $3 add-on to your BTWB account you can track as many Macro targets as you like (e,g, rest day, workout day, double day, etc.) You can enter foods yourself, you can scan barcodes, or you can look up something in the giant food database. I have been tracking my Macros, for about 2 years now. I have not been perfect at achieving my Macros, but I have been about 80% complaint. I have been much better at just tracking them however, and that has dramatically changed my food choices throughout the day or week, and has helped me see a direct correlation between workout performance, energy levels and overall feeling of "goodness" or "not - so - goodness" based on my food choices. I have used a few different apps to track my Macros over the past 2 years. I used Devour to tell me how much protein, fat and carbs I should be eating and Macrostax to tell me if I reached those numbers. Since I use BTWB daily to track my workouts, it's a no brainer to use ONE app to rule them all! You can read a full detail of the BTWB Macros feature here, and here are some of my highlights.
I encourage all of you to test it out. If you need help figure out your Macros, you can re-read the blog series I wrote on counting your macros here, here, here and here. You can also talk to Coaches Kendra, Dover, Heidi or me as we all have experience with counting macros. If you really want to get your nutrition dialed in you can book a consultation with Coach Audy. Good luck and happy tracking!
