When it comes to adjusting your macros, protein is considered a BUILDING BLOCK while carbs and fat are FUEL SOURCES.🔥
Depending on how you’re feeling on a daily basis, and the results you’re seeing in your body composition and on the scale, you may need to raise or lower your carbs or your fats.
Good news is, it’s not too hard to determine which needle, fat or carbs, you need to move. Just listen to your body!
Add carbs if…
▪️You feel like junk during your workouts
▪️You have frequent gas, bloating, and constipation
▪️You’re moody and cranky fasting
Add fat if…
▪️You’re never satisfied after a meal/always want a snack
▪️You have dry skin, hair, and eyes
▪️You have hormonal problems, including loss of menstrual cycle
▪️You have blood sugar issues
Of course, these are general recommendations and you should always pay attention to individual biofeedback when it comes to making adjustments to your macros.
Adjusting carbs and fat is a personal decision based how your goals, needs, and preferences. Adding or decreasing carbs or fats in your daily macro count can make a significant difference in how you feel, how you look, and how you perform throughout the day.
