Be an athlete without the guilt of tracking macros.

I’m not here to bash on macro tracking. It’s a wonderful tool for those who can use it, but what about people like us? People who have suffered from some type of disordered eating or an eating disorder? Numbers, macros, food brings us panic. We feel like we are forced to choose between being an athlete and having a healthy relationship with food.

But we don’t! There is another way. Intuitive eating helped me re-gain a healthy relationship with food and allowed to be the athlete I always wanted to be.

About Mary Morton

PhD | CISSN

Navigating the world of nutrition as a strength sport athlete can be difficult, add disordered eating on top, and it can turn into a nightmare. I get it, I’ve been there. I spent years learning how to incorporate intuitive eating into my training and how I could use intuitive eating to achieve my strength goals. Now I coach female strength athletes who have overcome disordered eating or are over-coming their disordered eating habits how to eat intuitively to fuel their athletic potential.

As we all navigate the grey areas of being an athlete and practicing intuitive eating, it’s important to know what it is, what it isn’t, and how we incorporate both into our lives.⁣

𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐄𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠. In a 2018 study, 𝘑𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘯 𝘦𝘵. 𝘢𝘭. loosely defined mindful eating as an ‘intervention to increase experiential awareness of food and eating.’ Another article, published in 2017, defined mindful eating as the ‘making of conscious food choices, developing an awareness of physical v. psychological hunger and satiety cues, and eating healthfully in response to those cues.’⁣

𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠. In the same 2017 review, 𝘞𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘯 𝘦𝘵 𝘢𝘭. discussed intuitive eating as ‘a rejection of ‘diets’, a discouragement of labelling foods as ‘bad’, an encouragement to honour hunger, and allow satisfaction with food intake.’ In contrast to mindful eating, intuitive eating doesn’t put an emphasis on the health status of food, and, in our opinion, is more of a cultural movement.⁣

First we must get rid of any food labels and feelings towards foods and learn to listen to our hunger cues (intuitive eating), and as we progress, we start shifting more towards a more mindful eating approach and start making healthier foods a priority.⁣
