About this episode
In this episode we cover the basics of macronutrients - protein, carbs and fats - and how to balance your intake for your goals. Tip or trick: Becca talked about removing friction around habits you want to instill, and creating friction around those you want to break. i.e. sleep in your workout clothes if you find it hard to get to the gym in the morning, or keep ice cream out of the house so you don't have the convenience of it sitting in your freezer. Additionally, you can plan to do something you enjoy while you do the new habit you're trying to create such as listen to our podcast while you walk or jog : ) "Macros" are an educational tool we - sometimes - use inside coaching. They are not used with everyone nor are they used right away for most people. They are not the end all, be all of nutrition, nor are they a free ticket to eating junk as long as it fits your macros. We go through the importance of each and the purpose they serve in our daily intake. We discuss the importance of eating adequate protein and fat then filling in the rest of your daily intake with carbohydrates and adjusting based upon your personal goals. Last but not least, how you would START to calculate your daily intake, but understand this is generalized information based upon generic calculations and multipliers. As coaches we dive much deeper into intake levels based upon ones diet history, medical conditions, training regimen, biofeedfback (sleep, stress, energy, hormones), etc, etc. Click HERE to more about our Metabolic Prehab™️ program!
