89: Nutrition Q&A: Tracking, Protein Goals, Alcohol-Free Tips & Food Freedom

from Broads: The Bold & Badass Fitness Podcast for Women · host Tara LaFerrara

For years, I thought nutrition had to be all or nothing… you either perfectly tracked your food, followed a strict diet, or you were "failing." I spent so much time overthinking every meal, trying to find the “perfect” way to eat, only to end up feeling stressed, guilty, and frustrated. I thought true health meant rigid rules, obsessive tracking, and pushing myself to stick to the latest diet trend. But the truth? Nutrition should be about fueling your body, building strength, and creating habits that support your life, not controlling every bite. In today’s episode, I’m answering your top nutrition questions: from intermittent fasting, to how to actually hit your protein goals, to healing your relationship with food in a way that feels empowering, not exhausting. If you’ve ever struggled with overcomplicating nutrition, feeling lost with protein targets, or rebuilding trust with your body, this episode is for you! I Also Discuss: (00:00) Nutrition Myths You Still Believe (and What Actually Works) (07:41) How Much Protein You REALLY Need (Without Going Crazy) (16:17) Healing Your Relationship With Food (Without Strict Diets) (18:07) Navigating Sobriety When Your Partner Still Drinks (24:47) Why Broads Is Different: Strength Over Scal Thank You to Our Sponsors: Broads App – Get structured, progressive training and a powerhouse community to keep you strong, consistent, and unstoppable.
