In episode 034 of the Wholly Well Journey podcast, we dive into the debate between counting calories and counting macronutrients for effective weight loss and overall health. We define the nuances of counting calories vs counting macros. After a brief review of definitions of macronutrients, we'll talk about 5 tips on how to count macros. Remember, good nutrition isn't just about quantity, quality matters too!
(You'll also get a brief update on my current personal health and the discovery in Nov 2024 that I have a brain tumor.)
