38 - What Are Macros

Monday Oct 02, 2023

Monday Oct 02, 2023

Do macros confuse you? Do you have no clue, really, what they are or how to figure them out, how to track, or any of that? Macros, probably one of the few things that are so simple, yet we overthink it to the point of making it beyond confusing. Let’s break down the essence of macronutrients and how they relate to your health. 
In this episode I go over what each macro does in the body, and how we should try to figure out how much of each we need. 
Everybody should have a basic understanding of macros.  Tracking is useful to help figure out what you are eating and how much.  It is important to remember that these are tools.  It is important not to let tracking become an obsession. Use it as a temporary tool to understand what you are eating and to figure out where to make adjustments to reach your goals. 
Listen and and learn all the basics about macros!
