You also may be consuming too little or too much of one or more macros, so now you can determine what works best for your body and lifestyle.
In my opinion, counting macros is best for those who want to gain more control of what they consume in a day, those who are close to their body goals but are currently at a plateau, or those who want to try something new! If you want to keep yourself in check and are willing to put more time into your meal planning, IIFYM may be perfect for you. Who should count macros?Ĭounting macros can be time consuming and hard to keep track of, so to be honest counting macros is not for those with low determination, willpower, or control. Of course it’s personal preference, but be mindful of all nutrients. I don’t enjoy eating junk food all the time and consuming high sugar or high sodium foods can take a toll on your body in the long run. Some people try to fit unhealthy foods like sweets or pizza into their macros, but I try to get in a lot of fruits and veggies.
Well for me, I like to eat “clean” macros. You may be thinking…what about other nutrients? Calcium? Fiber? Iron? Vitamin C? D? And so on… This may seem overwhelming at first, but it’s quite simple and I’ll explain how you can determine your very own macros below. As I mentioned earlier, depending on your goals you will consume varying amounts (grams) of each macronutrient. Macronutrients or macros are fats, carbohydrates, and protein. Counting macros is not for everyone, but it is a great way to track and control your daily intake. Each individual has different macros that vary by weight, height, age, and fitness goals.
This is a diet that is considered flexible, because you can fit “treats” or almost whatever you desire into your daily diet, but still maintain your physique. If you are into the fitness world at all, I’m sure you have heard of IIFYM, or If It Fits Your Macros.
