You have probably heard "track your macros" flying around but what are they, why do we need them, how do we find them.

We will dig into these individually in later podcasts but this is a very, VERY brief overview and to give you a little understanding and confidence in planning your food. 

Enjoy 

PS at minute 16 I talk about a ton of tuna being rough Roughly 30g protein which will equate to roughly 120 calories

I say a slice of bread could be roughly 27g protein but I meant to say carbs, though bread will give you a small amount of protein and can be paired with other incomplete proteins it is predominantly a carb.  

At the end I work out this persons protein at 0.8g per KG and I know I recommend  more, this RDA is slightly below what we tend to recommend for people who have goals of  fat loss/
maintaining/ building muscle & or are in an ageing population.
