206. Macros Decoded: Why Protein, Carbs & Fats Actually Matter | Macros Series

If you’ve ever felt confused about what protein, carbs, and fats actually do in your body, you’re NOT alone. Diet culture has made it way too easy to fear carbs, avoid fats, and under-eat protein.

The truth though? You need all THREE if you want lasting results on your fitness journey!

Once I really learned about macros and how to apply them in my everyday life, my body started changing in the ways I wanted it to. That’s exactly what I want for you, too, and why I’m “decoding” macros for you in today’s episode!

Protein, carbohydrates, and fat ALL have a place in your diet. When you combine all three macros on your plate, your body runs better, your cravings go down, and food finally starts working with you, instead of against you!

It’s time to stop obsessing, start learning, and give your body the fuel it needs to perform, recover, and THRIVE!!
