Frequently Asked Questions
What are macros
Macronutrients are the number of fat, protein, and carbohydrates grams. Each of these macronutrients provide energy in the form of calories. All foods are made up of macronutrient numbers. For example, 1 gram of fat = 9 calories, 1 gram of protein = 4 calories, and 1 gram of carbohydrates = 4 calories
Can I really eat anything I want?
Yes! The whole idea with tracking macros is that you can adjust your diet to your lifestyle not the other way around. You CAN eat icecream, cookies, chips and still lose weight. You ideally should be eating 70-80% of healthier whole foods to ensure you are giving your body proper nutrients. However, that does not mean you can’t enjoy any and every food you love… AS LONG AS IT FITS YOUR MACROS!
Why would I want to count macros?
Tracking your macros is a much easier, specific, sustainable, and flexible approach to weight loss than typical restrictive diet plans. Tracking macros promotes consumption of any and all foods. Eat whatever YOU want, just as long as it fits your macros!
Can anyone track their macros?
YES 100%
Tracking macros is more a lifestyle than a diet. Anyone that can be committed and consistent will be successful. You can be overweight, underweight, vegetarian, picky eater it doesn’t matter. There is a plan that works for each individual!
How will I do it?
To be successful tracking your macros, you will need to reach your macro targets each day (protein, fat, and carbohydrates)
You will be given a specific amount of grams of protein, fat, and carbohydrates to consume based off your goals, needs etc.
You will track your food using a food diary app, which I can recommend!
How often should my macros be changed?
Typically your macros will be adjusted for every 5-10 lbs of weight lost or gained. Everyone’s goals and bodies are different. If your goal changes or you plateau for more than 2-3 weeks changes can be made.
