Macro Adjustments

There’s SO many ways to work with macros.
•⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of the biggest topics that come up on my client discovery calls is women who say they’ve tried macros but it “didn’t work for them”.
•⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I totally get that! We get our macro breakdown and use them until they stop “working”, get frustrated and give up.
•⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The most important thing for you to understand is that macros are NOT a “1 and done” situation which is why I NEVER do “1 time macro assessments”-these are not helpful.
•⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They should be adjusted during your deficit and then you need to then get back to maintenance macros in order to KEEP your new weight loss.
•⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A few things to know about macros to make it fit YOUR lifestyle & goals:
•⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🥨Carb/calorie cycling to make adherence a bit easier on the weekends.
•⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🥨Adjusting macros if you do shift work or work very long hours certain days of the week.
•⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🥨Adjust macros after a few weeks into your deficit in order to keep up with our body adjusting to the lowered intake.
•⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🥨Utilizing diet breaks during an extended period of dieting if needed in order to reach a long term goal.
•⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🥨Reverse dieting (adding in calories/macros slowly over time) in order to rehab your metabolism after dieting/gain strength/allow our body a break from dieting (we SHOULD be at maintenance the majority of the year btw).
