ACCURACY > FOOD LOGS

Any of my clients or those who know me, I’m a flexible nutrition coach, which means I focus on hitting macro goals, but using food logs to make sure the flexibility is still accurate.

While the logs are important and I think a very useful tool, there is something even more important.

Accuracy with portions.

I would much rather a client flub their food logs (or even not use them) if they measure every meal to the ounce or gram, ensuring they are hitting their portions accurately. To put it another way, even if someone’s food logs look amazing, but they are eyeballing portions (or worse) then doen’t matter how shiny those logs look.

At the end of the day, it comes down to developing solid habits, which are the leading indicators of progress, not the spreadsheet or other form of record keeping, that drives the progress.
