What are macronutrients, the benefits of tracking, and how to improve your relationship with food

During this episode we talking about what calories and macronutrients are and why they are important to understand. We go into tracking macros, why tracking can be beneficial, and how you can develop a good relationship with food through the knowledge you gain about food while you track. I totally missed giving you guys information on how to calculate macros, so here it is: First you will want to know what your TDEE is (Total Daily Energy Expenditure). This will tell you how much energy you need to maintain the weight you are at right now, based on your stats and activity level. Using a calculator like this one is a good start: https://tdeecalculator.net/result.php... 1lb of fat = 3500 calories. This means, that if you were to aim for 1lb/week of fat loss, you would want to eat in a weekly deficit of 3500 calories (or 500 calories a day). Step 2: Subtract 500 from your calculated TDEE, and you have your calories you would need in a deficit to lose 1lb of fat per week. If you want to lose less, (e.g. 0.5lbs/week), you would put yourself in a deficit of 250 calories per day instead. Protein: 0.7-1g of protein per pound (e.g. if you weighed 100lbs, you would eat anywhere from 70g of protein to 100g of protein per day, depending on where you're at now and depending on your goals).
