Is Counting Your Macros Necessary?

Should you count your MACROS?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hope this answers your question @nesspie ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Counting ‘macro-nutrients’ has been promoted as a strategy for healthy eating and/or weight loss. To do this, your daily amount of ‘macro’ nutrients (fat, protein and carbohydrate) are calculated based on your calorie requirements
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While this approach may promote a balanced intake (if your basis is nourishing foods), and thankfully does not eliminate whole food groups, it is one of the best ways to unnecessarily over complicate healthy eating. You’ll spend way longer than necessary thinking, planning and worrying about your meals and snacks
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While counting macros strictly may be helpful in some unique situations (I.e. For professional body builders), I would not recommend it routinely. The key thing for weight loss is to BURN MORE calories than you EAT!

If you make half your meals veg, and include moderate portions of wholegrains, dairy, lean protein and fruit at meals and snacks then you’ll probably reach the same result with out the effort. Of course if you find this method works for you and it is not all-consuming then that is ok too ??

Greetings, dear readers!

Let’s talk about a topic near and dear to all of our hearts – the struggle of finding the elusive perfect cup of coffee. We’ve all been there, am I right? That daily quest for the holy grail of caffeine that will set our taste buds tingling and our productivity soaring.

It’s a journey filled with highs and lows, triumphs and disappointments. From the overly sweet, caramel, whipped cream-topped monstrosities at the big chain coffee shops to the burnt, bitter sludge served up at some hole-in-the-wall cafes, the search for that perfect brew can be fraught with peril.

But fear not, dear readers, for all is not lost! There are hidden gems out there just waiting to be discovered. Take, for example, that cozy little cafe on the corner that serves up a smooth, rich latte that warms you to your very core. Or that quirky spot downtown that roasts their own beans and offers up a bold, flavorful espresso that will have you buzzing all day long.

So next time you find yourself in need of a pick-me-up, don’t settle for mediocrity. Seek out that perfect cup of joe that will make your taste buds sing and your heart happy. And remember, dear readers, life is too short for bad coffee. Embrace the quest and savor the journey.
