I remember being so lost about nutrition. I understood calories, but remember asking my dad well if a cupcake has 200 calories and so does a sandwich (or whatever it may be) does your body see it the same way? - - I didn’t know what macros were. A lot of people stop at the simple explanation calories in vs calories out. That’s weight loss. And for the most part true. BUT for body re-composition eating the right macronutrients is key. - - I’ve seen the twinkie diet and similar fads, which, yes if you eat less calories with twinkies now that previously you should lose weight… you may end up with diabetes, but you’ll lose weight. HOWEVER, you won’t be gaining muscle and losing fat. Protein is the key macro when looking to gain some muscle. Of course you need all macros in the proper amounts to see the best results. - - It can all be so confusing!
