In this episode of 20 Minute Fitness we explain how to set, monitor and stick to your macros. Setting your macros is a fundamental aspect of a successful diet plan. Purely tracking caloric intake and not paying attention to macronutrient breakdown does not give the full story. It neglects any real consideration to the nutritional value of different food groups.



Calories are not created equal. The different macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates, and fat) not only have differing numbers of calories per gram. They also have very different levels of sustenance. For example, 400 calories of cake or beer do not give the same nutritional value as chicken and vegetables.

More about macros and how to best calculate them all in this week's 20 Minute Fitness!

Enjoy!
