Ep. 663 - Does Tracking Macros Cause Disordered Eating?

The Tailored Life Podcast

Cody dives into "disordered eating" in today's episode. This is a form of dietary behavior that can be unhealthy and destructive, but is also far different and much more easily reversible than an "eating disorder".

Cody defines both and shows you the specific differences in the two, as well as signs and symptoms of them in order for you to better identify when they may be arising in you or others around you.

He then dives into specific research looking at tracking food in apps, like myfitnesspal, and measuring progress through means such as body checking in a mirror, weighing in on the scale regularly, and other forms of dietary restraint. This leads into what studies show as correlations vs. actual causations, what those two different things actually mean, AND why tracking macros has actually never been shown to be directly associated with disordered eating - but rather how it can be the personality types, goals, and extreme processes of getting super-lean that cause these disordered eating patterns.

  • Signs of disordered eating should be paid attention to
  • It’s very personally independent, in regards to what disordered behaviors ANY fitness devices may cause
  • Weight regain is more associated with decreases in activity, loss of dietary restraint, and increase in dietary fat intake - while sustainability of the weight loss process is NOT associated with any disordered behaviors
