Client Testimonials
Travis R.
"I have really started to challenge myself mentally to try and find ways to fill my cup rather than constantly draining it. Worked for 2 years because I was stubborn but now I need to find healthier ways to make good decisions and Shelby helped me see this."
Haili F.
"When I started working with Shelby, I was in a similar mindset as most - I want to lose X amount of pounds. Thinking my whole life that the number on the scale reflected my value was a hard mindset to break but Shelby did it and I've never felt better."
Monsy R.

How to Track Macros | Protein
Did you know there is a difference between the weight of food when it’s raw and when it’s cooked? Raw food loses on average 25% volume once it is cooked as water evaporates away. That water loss will vary depending on cooking method, how long you cook your food, the amount of water in that food, etc, but for simplicity sake, let’s call it 25%. This can make accurately tracking your macros for protein a little tricky. We've outlined some of the common mistakes people make when logging your macros into MyFitnessPal and a few easy ways to avoid those missteps in the future.

What if I’m not cooking it? What if I can’t use my scale? What if I’m at a restaurant, work dinner, baby shower, picnic, etc.” These ‘what if’s’ can often become bottlenecks to finding consistency. We'll talk through some strategies to employ to find consistency even when you’re not 100% in control of the food you’re eating. We’ll also tackle two important things: understanding your goals and personal nutrition journey and the role of perfectionism and mindset in achieving your goals.
