WHAT ARE MACROS AND WHY SHOULD I CARE?
Macros (macronutrients) are simply protein, carbohydrates, and fat. Plain and simple, macronutrients are the three categories nutrients you eat most and provide you with most of your energy. Each macronutrient plays a different role in the body and it's important to understand what you need and how they impact you. I am a HUGE fan of paying attention to your macros because instead of this idea of depriving your body of calories in hopes that you lose weight, you are paying close attention to what your body needs in order to function properly. Are you getting enough healthy fat? Protein? Carbs? Are you sourcing those macros from foods that are wholesome? Understanding your macros and paying attention to the ratios when you eat helps you with portion control, encourages you to eat whole foods and can help you lose weight in a way that supports your body not deprives it.
