When reading about nutrition on social media or the internet you will generally encounter two camps. One will say that only calories and macros matter and you can eat whatever you want as long as you hit the right numbers. Whereas the other claim the complete opposite: calories and macros won’t matter as long as you eat healthy foods. What is right? And more importantly: what should you do? How should you eat?

Now, if those questions had a simple cookie cutter answer, there would be no need to record an entire podcast episode about it. In truth though, things are a bit more complicated. As almost always, the correct answer depends on the person and his or her goals.

We tend to have three buckets. The first one is bodyweight. If your goals are focused purely around bodyweight, all that matters is calories. The second bucket is health. For people that are focused mostly on their health, all they need to do is focusing on eating healthy natural foods. Then the last bucket is body composition and peak performance, here macros are a deciding factor.

Obviously, those three buckets can’t be looked at in an isolated way, they are all interrelated, and to almost all of us, all three will matter to a certain extent. So, in the podcast we discuss how they are all acting together, and how weighting them differently will influence the outcome. You will get to know which one is giving you the most bang for your buck and learn to compose a nutrition strategy that focuses on your goals.
