20. Why you have calories left over even though you hit your macros
Have you ever hit your macros but still have calories left over?
This is super common and there's a really simple explanation for why your macros and calories don't match when you're tracking your food.
A big part of it comes down to how accurate nutrition labels actually are — and the answer might surprise you. The FDA legally allows nutrition labels to be up to 25% inaccurate, which means even if you're tracking everything to the gram and following your calorie deficit, you could still be off without realizing it.
In this episode I discuss why this happens, why net carbs aren't actually a real thing, how to read a nutrition label more accurately, and whether you should be following your macros or your calories.
If you've ever wondered why things don't add up this episode will help clear up a lot of confusion so you can get back to focusing on what matters - showing up and doing your best so you can keep going.
