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 recently took part in a 90 day Challenge Group through Facebook hosted and lead by Matthew Pryor. With daily ‘check-ins’ and inspirational writing by Matthew, the experience was exactly what I needed. I needed accountability and motivation and that’s what Matthew facilitated for us. My exercise and diet habits have changed for the better and I’m thankful to Matthew for helping me accomplish that.
