When used in relation to nutrition, the term “macros” is short for macronutrients. There are three primary macronutrients: protein, carbohydrates, and fats.

Protein is the building block for your muscles and have 4 calories for every gram.

Carbohydrates (aka “carbs”) are your body’s primary source of energy. Simple carbs (like sugar) give you quick energy that fades fast. Complex carbs (like whole-grains) give longer lasting energy, but take a short while to kick in. Regardless of the type of carb, they each have 4 calories for every gram.

Think of fats as your backup source of energy… when the carbs are gone or unavailable, your body uses fat for energy instead. And these bad boys have 9 calories for every gram.

I was feeling defeated and frustrated with my health due to a chronic illness, but Matthew and the group met me where I was at and provided the balance of grace and truth that I needed. I lost 10 lbs during my first challenge, but more importantly I learned to be faithful with my responsibilities (eating well, exercising, etc.) and to trust God with the rest.
