And you also need quite a bit more, right, macro versus micro. You're getting a lot more carbohydrate, fat, and protein in your diet than you are getting calcium and vitamin A. So these are the big players in your diet. How do they work in the big picture in your diet? The macronutrients are carbs, protein and fat. So that's one of my goals today is to put macros into context for you. They don't really know what these things really are without more context. But when it comes to macros or macronutrients, that's where a lot of people start to get fuzzy. The micronutrients are always emphasized when we learned about nutrition growing up. That's vitamin C, the B vitamins, calcium, iron, whatever. Now when I say vitamins and minerals, people know what I'm talking about. That's where the term "macros" comes from. OK, so macro, micro, big versus small in the nutrient supply in regards to your dietary needs. While micronutrients, the vitamins and minerals in your diet are essential, but they're only required in small amounts in comparison. Macronutrients, yield energy, which you need in pretty significant amounts. So bear with me because we'll get into some of the more advanced stuff and just a bit.īut macronutrients are the nutrients in your diet that make up a significant portion of your intake. And I know that some of you guys already know this stuff. So first, what are macros? The term macros is just short for macronutrients. And next week, I'm going to talk all about tracking macros, including tools to consider and the good, the bad and the ugly side of it. So this week we're gonna learn about what the heck macros are and why they matter for keto. If you guys have lots of questions about it, then breaking it down into two smaller parts seems a little better. Because instead of just one giant lump of information, I want this to be actionable, manageable stuff that isn't overwhelming. So keeping that in mind, I'm going to be breaking this into a couple of different episodes. And if I was to lump all the questions I get into different categories, I'd say that the macronutrient category would be right at the top, bursting at the seams from all the different questions I get about this topic. I'd even go as far to say it's the biggest source of frustration for most people doing keto for a long time. And I think this is gonna be really super duper helpful for people because over the years, I have got to say that this is quite honestly the biggest source of frustration for most people getting started on keto. I hope you're excited for today's episode because I'm going to be talking all about macros. Sonix is the best way to convert your audio to text in 2020.
