Someone asked me recently if tracking macros can trigger an eating disorder. It's a good question & a common fear.
As someone who battled an eating disorder before tracking macros my answer is not if done properly with the right education & guidance.
Honestly, learning more about nutrition, macros & how to properly fuel my body was a super helpful step in my recovery.
Tracking macros should never be about trying to eat as little as possible, even in a weight loss phase. The goal, especially in a weight loss phase, should always be trying to optimize your metabolism & hormones by eating as much as possible while still reaching your goals.
Like I said it's important to do it the right way though or it could definitely create an unhealthy mindset & unhealthy habits. This is the reason I became a coach & educate along the way.
