3 Macro Mistakes
September 25, 2019

“Macros” are carbs, fats and proteins. They are all made up of calories.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍠Carbs provide 4 calories per gram.
Most types of carbs get broken down into glucose (blood sugar) which your body either uses for immediate energy or stores as glycogen — the storage form of glucose — in your liver & muscles.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🥑Fats have 9 calories per gram.
Your body needs fat for energy and critical functions, such as hormone production, nutrient absorption & body temperature maintenance.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍗Like carbs, proteins provide 4 calories per gram.
Proteins are vital for processes like cell signaling, immune function and the building of tissues, hormones and enzymes.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👯‍♀️For how to find YOUR specific macro breakdown, that is exactly what I help my clients learn & understand in my 1:1 coaching program Coached By Cait
(PS it doesn’t have to do with percentages!). 📓The term “tracking macros” simply means logging the foods you eat on a website, app or food journal, using a food scale to weigh your food.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tracking macros can:
♥️focus your attention on food quality rather than calorie content
♥️allow a little bit of “fun foods” every day to help keep us adherent 🍫
♥️be specifically effective for weight loss because it sets out specific dietary recommendations (rather than just “eat clean” like we discussed yesterday).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Research shows that tracking food intake may aid long-term weight maintenance (goodbyeeee “rebound weight”!)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💣My clients not only get custom calculated macros but they also have the tools + accountability + mindset to stick with it and NOT feel restricted because of my coaching and the community we’ve built.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Navigating the changing of macros can be very tricky when trying to do alone, and I am able to effectively guide my clients through it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Pssttt- Stay tuned, I’m launching my newly reopened 1:1 customized coaching spots on Thursday. DM me and let me know if you want first dibs to the application.
