Counting Macros 101

Counting Macros is a way to track food intake using grams of protein, carbs, and fats (macronutrients) instead of calories. The advantage of focusing on macronutrients (over calories) is gaining knowledge regarding the quality of your food, and how it affects your body. The disadvantage of tracking macros is that you have to plan, measure, and record everything you eat. For some people, that can be a bit confusing and intimidating, especially when you first get started. For other “type A” personalities, it’s like putting together a puzzle! You work at making your macro goals fit together each day.

Carb Cycling 101

Okay, so what is Carb Cycling? Carb cycling involves switching between high-carb days, low-carb days, and moderate-carb days throughout the week to encourage fat loss and muscle growth. Cycling your carbs helps you lose weight, while avoiding the low mood associated with more restrictive low-carb diets.

Some of the benefits of carb cycling include:
Increasing insulin sensitivity
Boosting metabolism
Helps preserve muscle mass (which helps burn more fat)
…and more!
Carb cycling is a fairly straight forward process, and any good nutrition coach can walk you right through it.
