What Are Macros?

The Covid 19

Have you heard of The Covid 19? I’m not talking about the virus. I’m talking about the 19 pounds or more that so many people gained during the pandemic. Now we’re all trying to gain some semblance of normality back, including our health. People are looking to lose weight and get healthy again. What is the best method for weight loss? The answer is MACROS, YES MACROS! What are macros?

Macronutrients a.k.a Macros⁠

What are macros (macronutrients) and what do they do for my body? Macronutrients (a.k.a macros) are nutrients that make up our food – simple.⁠ The three macros and their calorie equivalent are:⁠

  • Protein ⁠- 1g of protein = 4 calories
  • Carbohydrates⁠ – 1g of carbs = 4 calories
  • Fats – 1g of fat = 9 calories⁠ ⁠⠀⠀

Calories Are NOT Enough

How is That Possible?  🤯 

When it comes to truly changing the composition of your body and trading fat for muscle- watching your calories are NOT enough. ⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀

 

Why?⁠⠀

Because if ALL of your calories come from carbohydrates and fats, you will NOT be giving your lean muscle tissue the “building blocks” it needs! ⁠

Preserving/building lean muscle tissue is NECESSARY in order to have a “lean/toned” physique” and if your lean muscle mass does not have the proper nutrients – you are more likely to end up with a “skinny/flabby” physique vs. one that is lean and toned.⁠⠀
