194. Why Protein Isn’t Enough: The Truth About ALL of Your Macros + Why They Matter


Listen Later

One of my all-time favorite things to talk about? PROTEIN!


It’s no secret that most people don’t eat enough of it - it takes more intention and planning, and isn’t something most people are snacking on.


While protein is essential and gets a LOT of hype these days, it’s not the whole story when it comes to your nutrition. Carbs and fats matter, too!


It’s super common to see women crushing their protein goals and workouts, but completely ignoring carbs and fats. Honestly, you NEED all 3 macronutrients (proteins, fats, AND carbs). 


When all 3 macros are dialed in, everything clicks. I’ve experienced it on my own journey, and it’s freaking amazing!

 

If you’ve been feeling stuck, or like your body isn’t reflecting all the hard work you’re putting in, it’s time to check in on your carbs and fats. Don’t fall into the trap of just doing “more” - fueling your body correctly can truly change the game + bring you sustainable results on your fitness journey!



In this episode, we cover:

  • Why you’re crushing protein & workouts, but missing the mark with carbs & fats
  • Why protein gets ALL the hype + why it matters
  • Why carbs are NOT the enemy + why you need them
  • Why fats are essential for your health and results
  • What happens when you dial in ALL 3 macros
  • Why fueling your body matters more than just “doing more”
