The Macros Approach
Not yet published
Expected 31 Dec 30The go-to system for dieting has long been counting to lose weight, you need to eat fewer calories than you use for fuel. But monitoring your caloric intake can only take you so far. It’s not how many calories you consume but the kinds of calories that ultimately determines if you reach your physique goal, whether that’s weight loss, fat loss, weight gain, or lean muscle gain. And knowing what your food is made of and using that information to eat better is the basis of the macros approach to nutrition.
Macronutrients, or “macros,” are what food is made protein, carbohydrates, and fat. You can customize the ratio of these macros exactly for your fitness and physique goals. And as fitness expert and nutrition scientist Christine Hronec reveals, it doesn’t mean eating only broiled chicken breast or steamed broccoli.
In Why Macros Matter, Hronec explains how the “if it fits your macros,” or IIFYM, diet gives you the freedom to eat whatever you want while still meeting your fitness goals. As long as you stick to your personal daily macros ratio, you can have that slice of pizza or scoop of ice cream. It’s not magic or wishful thinking—it’s based on sound, proven science, and it’s revolutionized how elite athletes train and perform.
Hronec brings the macros approach from the realm of personal trainers and nutritionists to everyday life by emphasizing meal planning and food preparation. With these two tools, it’s easy to customize your meals to match your fitness and physique goals, even while working full-time and training daily. Why Macros Matter does the work for you with dozens of customizable meal plans, all centered around specific macro ratios.
And even better, Hronec puts you in the driver’s seat by offering multiple options for every food. Tired of chicken? There are fish options with the exact same of protein and carbs.
It’s time to step away from restrictive, frustrating diets and enjoy your favorite foods again—while still getting the body you want and train for.
