UNDERSTANDING YOUR MACROS

Food is fuel. Not the enemy.

Macronutrients — protein, carbohydrates and fats are the three building blocks of every meal you eat. Getting the right balance for your body and your goals is one of the most powerful things you can do for your energy, your training and your results.

Calories tell you how much energy you’re consuming. Macros tell you what that energy is made of. Both matter, but obsessing over every number every day is exhausting and unsustainable. Instead, use this calculator as a periodic check-in tool. Every few weeks, not every meal.

Whether you’re eating in a deficit to lose body fat, at maintenance to feel your best and perform well, or in a surplus to build strength and muscle, your numbers will be different. And that’s the point. There is no one-size-fits-all approach.

Start here. Adjust based on how you feel. Trust the process.
