MyFitnessPal – Mistakes You’re Making with Tracking
We get this a lot from clients “This just isn’t working for me! I’m logging my food, I promise I’m tracking everything but I’m just not getting any results! I think we need to change my numbers!”
We get it, you’re frustrated. You feel like you’re doing everything right but really you’re sabotaging your own progress without even realizing. Remember, there’s no such thing as an unsinkable ocean liner!

- Eyeballing
- Not tracking beverages, sauces or bites!
