Mythbusting: Will Tracking Your Food Give You an Eating Disorder? (Ep 31)
Manage episode 426997899 series 3556082
Hey there! 👋 I'm Jayd Harrison (Jaydigains), personal trainer and host of the Coaching Corner podcast. In this episode, I discuss the common misconception that tracking food intake can lead to an eating disorder.
Tracking involves logging what you eat and drink every day either in a food journal or in an app like MyFitnessPal.
This strategy can help you identify your eating habits and become more self-aware. It can also help you to stick to your diet plan to ensure you're eating the right number of calories and macronutrients every day.
Some people find tracking to be a trigger for obsessive behaviors (i.e. eating disorders). As a tool, tracking can be used healthily or unhealthily, depending on your existing relationship with food and with your body.
In this episode, I give some tips for how to tackle a disordered relationship with food and alternative strategies that you can use if you find tracking to be triggering.
