The ratios of your “macros” (carbs, protein, and fat) will affect the results you get from your exercise. The days of “a calorie is a calorie” are over.

For instance, if you’re trying to shed fat, then you want to limit your carbohydrates (your bodies first source of energy) so that your body will use fat as fuel. But if you’re trying to build muscle, you’ll need to have the energy to strength train (and carbs help with that) and adequate protein which will serve as the building blocks for your muscle growth. So while your calories should change according to your goals, so should your macros, as they all work in tandem.

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.
