The Basics of Macronutrients

Ever wonder what macronutrients are?

What makes them different from micronutrients?

What the hell is a macronutrient anyway?

This can be a very confusing, or very simple concept depending on who's explaining it and which method they use.

In this episode, we take a look at the BASICS of macronutrients, and how to get started calculating them for yourself or for someone else (if you're a trainer, nutritionist, etc):

1- What on the nutrition facts label of food make up the macronutrients?

2- What does each one do?

3- How many calories are there in macronutrients?

4- How to calculate an appropriate number of macros for my body and activity type

5- The importance of maintaining a macronutrient profile

In addition, we get into the human aspect of eating right as it relates to macronutrients. In other words, macros are an amazing way to know what exactly what you are putting in your body, but it may not be 100% sustainable to live and die by the macro number, for sanity's sake. What exactly does happen to your body when you stick to a macro plan for an extended period of time? All this is covered in the show.
