If you want to take control of your nutrition and get serious about fat loss or building muscle there’s really no better way than tracking macros.

If you’ve been on the interwebs in the last few years and googled anything about nutrition you’ve probably seen the term “MACROS” OR “MACRONUTRIENTS” pop up.

Maybe you rushed out to Whole Foods and headed straight for the Macronutrient aisle so you could start taking advantage of this new superfood for fat loss! Sadly, you couldn’t find a bag of macros, but you found this article and that’s even better!

Are you looking for a short cut to fat loss or a way to squeeze every little drop out of every detail in your journey to get lean?

As it stands, after housing, most Americans spend more money on food than anything else in their budget.  

According to the Bureau of Labor, the average household spends about $8,000 on food in 2018.  (about $3,500 of that was spent at restaurants and the rest was spent at the grocery store).

The cost of food increases slightly year after year and as a culture we are eating out at restaurants more and more.

It’s no secret that making your own food at home is substantially cheaper than buying it already prepared from a restaurant.   But even within the walls of the supermarket there are a lot of choices that an affect your grocery budget bottom line.

All good contractors have access to the different tools that might be needed to get the job done well. If the craftsman (or woman) knows what they’re doing they don’t just randomly grab a tool from the toolbox and use it for every task regardless of what they’re doing.

The same goes for us as nutrition coaches.

We deal with real people in the real world and no two people are exactly the same. That’s why we have to have different tools available to us to use.

Intermittent Fasting is one of those tools in our toolbox.

Lately there are a few “trends” in the weight loss space. Maybe you’ve tried this one for yourself or you know someone who is currently doing it.

• What exactly I.F. is and isn’t.

• Potential benefits and overblown claims.
