Why I Track My Food as an Entrepreneur (And Why You Should Too)

Yo yo yo.

Quick post. Short post. Let’s get into it.

So I started tracking my food about a month ago. Wasn’t 100% consistent, but I did it for a few days just to get a feel for what I was actually eating.

And honestly, it helped me a lot.

I was able to grow my business while also improving as an athlete and student.

Like I realized what foods had actual nutrients in them—and what foods were just kinda pointless. Helped me see what I needed more of, what I didn’t need at all, and just made me way more conscious about what I put in my body.

Why It Matters

Tracking food isn’t about being perfect. It’s about awareness.

When you track, you realize real quick that bread has basically zero nutrients. That liver has tons. That a banana has potassium, but salmon has omega-3s, B12, selenium—all that good stuff.

It changes how you make decisions.

What I Use

I use Cronometer. It doesn’t just track your macros—it tracks your micronutrients too, which is super important and super overlooked.

Because as a high performer, entrepreneur, whatever—you need to know if your food is actually supporting your recovery, sleep, focus, mood, and performance.

Most people don’t even know they’re deficient.

What I Learned From Tracking

Some of the most nutrient-dense foods I found were:

Liver (especially chicken liver)

Beef

Salmon

Trout

Fruits like bananas and cantaloupe

You log something like bread and realize... yeah, this is doing nothing for me. That’s when it clicks.

You Don’t Have to Track Every Day

You really don’t.

But maybe once a week? Or every few days? Just enough to know what your baseline is. If you’re missing key vitamins or minerals, your body knows—even if you don’t.

Track to learn. Then eat smarter.

That’s it. Hope this helped.

Peace.
