Macronutrients are freedom from tracking your calories, figuring out caloric deficits and complicating the most important aspect of your fitness journey.
Tracking macronutrients gives you much needed flexibility when it comes to what you eat.
Macronutrients are simply protein, fats and carbs.
How do you find macros? Check your food labels on your food, snacks and even nutrition labels from restaurants.
When you complete a macronutrient calculator, you will be given protein, fats and carbs based on the goal you set. If you are given 100 grams of protein, you’ll learn that a chicken breast is around 40 grams of protein. You’ll learn that a protein shake is around 25 grams of protein, added milk is 5 grams of protein, which leaves you with 30 grams of protein left to reach your goal.
This is how you would coordinate your meals versus tracking every single calorie. This is also the simplest way to reach your fitness goals without complicating the process of diet.
I’ve added the link to my favorite macronutrient calculator in my bio, so if you are trying to figure out what direction to go in, it is worth a try to see what your macros are for your goals!
