What are macros and how do I track them?Updated 3 months ago

Macros, or macronutrients, consist of protein, carbohydrate and fat. These are the essential macronutrients required to control your body composition (muscle mass and fat mass) and ultimately your results. Your macros are calculated based on your goal, height, weight, age, gender, but also your physical activity and amount of lean muscle mass you currently hold. 

To begin tracking macros:

1. Calculate the macros perfect for you using THE BOD Macro Calculator.

2. Ensure you hit these target macros everyday and keep it consistent over time.

3. Make changes accordingly. For example: increase your calories at a small scale to allow your metabolism to adapt. Or, decrease your calories at a small scale to trigger further fat loss or weight loss.

4. Contact us to enquire about coaching if you require help - coach@thebod.com.au
