Small, “doesn’t-count” bites like a few animal crackers can quietly derail fat-loss efforts.05 : 01 – 09 : 00 | Awareness = PowerRobyn shares her own experience of under-estimating intake and teaches why awareness is the first step in body recomposition. Tracking reveals what’s really going on with calories, macros, and consistency.09 : 01 – 13 : 00 | Why Women 35 + Must Track DifferentlyAfter 35, metabolism, hormones, and muscle mass change.
