The best macro split for fat loss

from The Eat Build Sculpt Podcast · host Kassie Beth

"What's the best macro split?" is one of the most common questions I get in my DMs — and in this episode, I'm giving you a real, science-backed answer. Here's the truth: there's no single perfect split that works for every body. But there is a well-researched range that consistently produces results for women who are lifting and pursuing body recomposition, and that's exactly what I'm breaking down today.I cover all three macronutrients — what the research says about each one, why the typical advice on carbs and fat tends to lead women in the wrong direction, and exactly how I set macros for myself and the clients in my coaching program. I also walk through a real-numbers example so you can see what a macro split actually looks like in practice.What you'll learn: Why you have to set your total calorie target before your macro split — and the three factors that determine what that number should be for you right nowThe three calorie scenarios: deficit, maintenance, and reverse dietWhy the "1 gram per pound of body weight" protein recommendation is generic and not optimalThe real reason you experience exhaustion, cravings, and digestion issues when you go "high protein"What macro should make up the largest percentage of your intakeMy go-to macro split for myself and my clientsWant my help with your macros?
