KNP143 - How To Set Macros For Fat Loss

On today’s episode, Michelle and I discussed how to set your own macros for fat loss specifically.  You need to know this, it's super individualized and so hiring a coach becomes super invaluable. But not everyone can afford that, and that’s totally understandable. Please know this before going into this: It takes patience, even when working with a coach to figure out what works the best for your body. Doing it alone takes a ton of patience. So now that we have established you have to be patient AF with this, lets jump in: Step 1 - First go to www.bmrcalculator.org (or any site that is similar) This is to establish a rough baseline of your BMR (basil metabolic rate) which is essentially how many calories you burn just being you. Fill out the stat questions. It will spit out a number. Then take your activity level or your TDEE , total daily energy expenditure, based off the chart on the site. Don’t stress, it’s  super self explanatory once are you in. Step 2 - Now take that number and take 300-400 calories off of that. (or anywhere from 10-20% off of that number) This is your calorie deficit.  Step 3 - After calories are set, the most important macro to set first is protein intake. That number is .7-1.25g per pound of body weight. So, if you weigh 150 you would need anywhere from 120grams - 150grams.  Then try to evenly distribute carbs and fats. Remember, carbs carry 4 calories per gram and fats carry 9.  Starting percentages could look something like this: Calories and Protein will be THE most important parts of this) 40% carbs 30% protein 30% fat.  I know that’s a LOT to digest but please go TRY and do the steps, and DM me any questions you have.
