I know the title of this article might seem harsh but it’s the ugly truth and the reason why you might be reading this article.

Have you ever wondered WHY exactly you’re so GUNG HO about your new fitness and/or nutrition routine for the first one to three Months or so then all the sudden fall off the wagon and you’re back to square one?

What is super cool about these Macros is that you can manipulate and adjust the calories you get from these Macros to work for your specific body type, goals, and even hormone balancing... pretty neat if you ask me. Before we dive into how to get these Macros to work for you, it’s important to understand what each Macro is and why it’s important for a well balanced diet.

Protein: And no, it’s not just found in mega protein shakes or protein...
