Things To Know About Macros!

🔥I sadly see so many people give up way too soon when learning macros. This is why my coaching programs are 12 weeks long.

⏰Idc how fast you pick things up, this shit takes time, consistency and an open mind to hell get rid of ALL the BS “rules” the diet industry has pumped out.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔥Another common mistake I see, people think they’re not making “progress” after 5 days of tracking so they drop their macros.
🤪Don’t do this, please.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏻Give at LEAST 2 weeks of consistency (throughout the entire week not just Mon-Thurs)
& look at all factors of progress-measurements, how your clothes fit, your strength, progress pictures, scale averages etc) before changing.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔥I’ve seen people “track macros” without actually measuring our proper portion sizes.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🙃How can you accurately “track” 5 oz of chicken if you didn’t weigh anything out? Invest in a food scale or measuring cups.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏻This is not DiSoRdErEd eating-this is a basic foundation of portion sizes and accurately being able to account for the food that you ingest.
😳(Yes this can get taken too far which I’ll discuss in another post).

🔥Alcohol does NOT process the same as the other 3 macros (fats/carbs/proteins).
👉🏻It affects important hormones such as testosterone, growth hormone & insulin. These play a HUGE role in weight loss & how our bodies function.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👀It also causes bloating & the “drunchies” (drunk munchies).
🍾Yes, I DO drink alcohol but being aware of its effects is extremely helpful when trying to lose weight.

🔥Learning macros is a TOOL! You are not a slave to your macros, this process is to help you understand what YOUR body needs in regards to energy intake (calories and macros) to help you optimize your efforts for weight loss, weight management and muscle gain.
🤓It empowers us to make healthier decisions to base our everyday food choices off of. Do your best to focus on HABIT changes (aka eating more protein with every meal and adding 100g fruits or veggies to each meal to start).
