There’s no place like home—and nothing like a plan—for the holidays.

I’ve just returned from a quick #momventure to Nashville with my two teenagers and some friends from Montessori school who recently moved away from Kansas City.

The answer to this question, like many things health and fitness related, is “it depends”. I mentally divide my clients and potential clients into two groups: those who are simply overeating/not exercising properly and those who are actually UNDER-eating and/or OVER-exercising.

As an online coach providing fitness and nutrition services, I start to notice trends among my clients. Believe it or not, the biggest nutrition struggle that I see is not getting in enough protein. It is not overeating. (Many of my clients are actually undereating – which can be one reason you might not be able to lose weight).

One of the very first things I have any of my clients start doing (regardless of their goals) is to begin tracking their macros. The reason for this is that I can’t make informed nutrition decisions without seeing what you are currently doing as far as food intake. However, I think the thought of tracking food can really scare some people off! They think it will be incredibly tedious and time-consuming.

Recently, I was helping a friend figure out her macros and suggested she increase her protein intake. She was eating about ~50 grams of protein a day, and I suggested she try to increase it to between 80 and 100 grams a day. This overwhelmed her - what was she supposed to eat? About five years ago (the first time I did a fitness competition) I made a conscious effort to increase my protein intake to 100+ grams a day.
