209. Macros Q&A: Ratios, Nutrition Habits and Weekends | Macros Series

I’m excited to wrap up the macros series with a fun Q&A - I received several awesome questions I knew I had to answer here!

If you’ve ever struggled with your “ideal” macro ratios, how to hit protein targets without going over on calories, or you’re looking for clever ways to add calorie-dense, nourishing snacks into your day, I’m diving into ALL of these in this episode.

I know it can feel overwhelming or confusing when it comes to macro calculations (this is something I hear often). While getting clear on your numbers for your goals definitely matters, perfection is NOT the assignment. 

Real, lasting results come from consistent and “imperfect” reps along the way!

The biggest takeaways I have for you? Do NOT rush this process, stop “winging” it, and quit overthinking. It’s totally possible to build a body you LOVE and achieve long-term results (no perfection required)!!

Episode Recap:

• How to figure out your ideal macro ratio + what those breakdowns actually look like
• Tips for setting your “ideal” bodyweight goal when working toward body recomp
• Calorie-dense, nutrient-rich foods that give you more “bang for your buck”
• How to increase protein without pushing your overall calories too high
• A practical breakdown on adjusting weekday calories if you typically eat more on the weekends
• Key reminders to help you take action & keep moving forward
