Ugh, I just love Trader Joe’s. Not only because the foods are delish, reasonably priced and there is always something new to try, but also because everything there is so darn easy to cook.

MacrosFirst is our favorite app for counting macros over here at Working Against Gravity! Because it is the macro tracking app we recommend to our members, we created a big list of MacrosFirst tutorials to make the tracking process as quick and easy as possible.

For those of us that aren't blessed with year-round warm weather, the return of the sun means it's time for barbecue season!

There is often a lot of confusion when it comes to how to track your alcoholic beverages correctly.

At WAG Nutrition, we get questions like, “why has my weight loss stalled?”, “how do I know if I need a reverse diet?” and “when should I start a reverse diet, anyway? Is it really possible to lose fat by reverse dieting?”. We’re answering those questions starting with the big one: What is reverse dieting, anyway?

It’s one of the most frequently asked questions in health and fitness: How do I gain muscle and lose fat at the same time? Some people phrase it differently, asking, “How do I replace fat with muscle?”or “can I gain muscle while losing fat?” and wonder how much to eat to lose fat and gain muscle. We’re here today to answer these questions!

We’re dishing out everything you need to know (and eat) so you can stick to your flexible dieting plan while traveling. If you want to continue working towards your weight loss or muscle gain goals our new guide will get you ready, no matter where you’re headed.

When you set a goal to lose weight, the next question is often “how long will it take me to reach my weight-loss goal?”, right?

As a nutrition coach, one of the questions friends and family ask me most is, “Why can’t I lose weight?”. It’s a common question and not all surprising since the process of weight loss is complex and has a lot of variables.

Many people come to WAG Nutrition wanting to know how many calories they need to lose weight. Then, when they get the initial macros from their coach, they wonder “how do you calculate macros?” or how to calculate a calorie deficit. Use this calorie calculator guide as a jumping-off point.

Should I weigh my food before cooking? Does frozen food weigh more? How important is it to hit your macros anyway? If you have asked yourself these questions, or maybe typed them into Google (guilty!), you are not alone. It can be hard enough to decide what to make for dinner for the week, let alone knowing when or how to weigh it!

It’s not the most fun topic to talk about — stress-eating. We’ve all been there… What if you could break that cycle?
