In today's episode, we're talking about macros.

There is value in counting macros as long as it is within the framework of eating whole foods.

When I say counting macros, I am talking about counting the grams of fat, protein, and carbohydrates one consumes during the day.

All food contains macronutrients it's just that packaged foods have the macronutrients written on their label, whereas whole foods like an apple, sweet potato, lettuce, steak, or salmon fillet do not. 

A person wanting to gain health and gain an understanding of the macronutrient levels they are ingesting will have to use something like the Chronometer or MyFitnessPal to see where they stand. I do think these apps are great for people trying to figure out how to eat in a balanced way. 

Most of us overlook 50-70% of the food inputs that go into our body unless we are journaling what we eat and these apps are a clean way of seeing what we are putting into our body.

Macro counting can be valuable for a season to get an understanding of our energy input in comparison to our energy output in a day.
