What are Macros and how do we count them?
Macros are the three main macronutrients—carbohydrates, proteins, and fats—that your body needs, but how do we know how many we need? That depends on what your goal is (lose weight, maintain, gain muscle), age, height, weight, ect.
There are many calculators out there that you can use (MyFitnessPal, Macros, MacroFactor, etc), that can get you a a basic starting point, but remember that there are many factors that go into what you need to accomplish you goals that the equations they use cannot factor for such as genetics or accurate caloric expenditure so if you are counting macros, be sure and keep track if you are heading in the right direction for your goal so you can make micro adjustments if needed to you macros for best long term results.
Stay tuned as later on we will take a deeper dive in figuring out what best Macro percentage is best for you!
