macros

Macros is the short term word for Macronutrients. There are 3 major Macronutrients: Protein, Fats, and Carbs. An example of the protein is chicken or beef. Fats are foods like oil, cheese, and butter. Carbs are foods like cake, rice, and potatoes. There are many websites with Macro Calculators that can help you break down your ideal macronutrients based on your height, weight, and activity levels. If you’re starting a Ketogenic diet you should use a Keto specific Macro Calculator because they will give you results based on the (75% Fat, 20% Protein, 5% Carbs) principle. I recommend the Keto Gains Macro Calculator.
