Are you struggling to find the right macros?
"An online calculator gave me macros but that can't be right! 180g protein is impossible!"
I have seen this many times.
People go online, input their height, weight, age, goal weight, and activity, and hope that an online calculator will give them the perfect macros for their goals.
Then they see the 180g protein target and they fall off of their chair!
I would too.
I don't know why, but many calculators suggest really high protein goals. But sometimes, it is right.
The point is that if you are relatively new to counting macros, if that target is right for you.
You are not alone! Even some personal trainers often don't know that much about macros.
So what should you do?
1) Take it as an estimation, not a rule.
2) I track food intake with my clients to see where they are before suggesting anything.
3) Macros are not everything! You could be getting 80% of your protein from protein shakes for example, but then you would be missing all the other benefits of food. And you would probably be hungry as well.
Let me help you find your macros!
