Using Macro Tracking to Optimize Performance: Key Takeaways for Athletes
Credit: Frank Nguyen
For athletes pursuing peak performance, nutrition is as crucial as training.
Macronutrient tracking—monitoring protein, carbohydrate, and fat intake—has long been a popular approach for optimizing performance, recovery, and body composition. But how much tracking is sufficient? Does strict macro tracking always result in better outcomes, or can it be counterproductive?
The answer isn't universally applicable for athletes balancing intense training, life demands, and recovery.
This article examines the role of macro tracking in performance, how much tracking is necessary (or beneficial), and how to find the right balance between precision and sustainability.
We’ll also discuss how tracking can aid recovery, promote healthy habits, and enhance mental well-being, or hinder these outcomes when taken too far.

Murph Ready – How to Tackle the Hero WOD Whether It's Your First Time or Tenth
Credit: @b.a.w_media / Instagram
“Murph” is coming up this weekend, and hopefully, you have been doing some preparation for the month of May.
Remind Me
“Murph” is a popular CrossFit Hero WOD created to honor Lt. Michael P. Murphy, a Navy SEAL who lost his life in Afghanistan on June 28, 2005. CrossFit gyms across the U.S. and beyond perform this workout on Memorial Day to remember and pay tribute to fallen military personnel.
Murph
1-mile run
100 pull-ups
200 push-ups
300 air squats
1-mile run
As written, the workout is unpartitioned — you finish all the pull-ups before you move onto the push–ups, etc., while wearing a weighted vest or body armor — but there are so many ways to participate in Murph and be a part of this great tradition in our community.
Now, let’s break down how to take on this workout, whether you’re a newbie CrossFit athlete, an elite competitor, or anyone in between!
