What if I told you…
until now I’ve mostly only tracked my food for weight loss, not performance 🤯
And if I’m being honest —
I’ve avoided tracking properly for a long time.
Because I now eat around 2,500–3,000 calories,
and I thought seeing that written down would freak me out.
I used to survive on 1,200 calories.
For years it was about eating less.
Now it’s about eating enough — to fuel my body and support recovery.
Enough to train well.
Enough to recover.
Enough to think clearly.
Enough to eat what I want, in moderation, without guilt.
The shift from
❌ “How little can I get away with?”
to
✅ “What does my body need to perform and recover today?”
has been a total game-changer — especially in my 40s.
That, alongside prioritising better sleep.
Fuel isn’t the enemy.
Carbs aren’t the enemy.
Under-fueling is.
This isn’t about perfection or rigid rules.
It’s about awareness.
Weight loss might be a goal.
But performance, energy, strength and longevity?
That’s the long game.
Curious where you’re at with this — has your focus shifted over time too?
