Macros (and what that word actually means)
Since this is the first entry for this group, I am going to start things off with very basic info.... Just to make sure that everyone is on the same page and, hopefully, to clear up some misconceptions and future questions.
There are 3 Macronutrients: Protein, Carbs, and Fat
Each has its specific job in the body and all are necessary to a certain degree... some more necessary than others, but that's for another day.
Each Macronutrient has a caloric value attached to it:
Protein - each gram is 4 calories
Carbs - each gram is 4 calories
Fat - each gram is 9 calories
None of this will be tested on later, it is just good general info for everyone to have.
When any of my clients come to me with a desired physique outcome, I/we will discuss their specific calorie needs to achieve that goal. From there, we will design a nutrition program with a particular amount of each macronutrient to best reach their goal!!
This is only scratching the surface of this topic, but that is what basic info does! There is more to come, a lot more!!
