Macronutrient Counting Research Paper
Truth is...Nobody says you have to do anything! It's your body, your health, your lack of energy, and your looks. But, if you're one of those people that care about what they are putting into their bodies, their health, high energy, and what they look like in the mirror, then enter the world of macronutrient counting.
Macronutrients simply consist of foods that contain Protein, fat, and carbohydrates. These ultimately provide the energy necessary to maintain body functions at rest & during physical activity. These macronutrients maintain the body's structural & functional entireness. These 3 macronutrients should be consumed at every meal to control hunger, stabilize blood sugar, weight management, improve body composition, energy for physical …show more content…
Every one's body is different and their nutritional needs are highly unique. We all process foods and utilize nutrients differently. This is why macronutrient counting needs to be tailored to each specific individual's metabolism because what works for one person may not work for another person. Macronutrient counting consists of consuming specific daily protein, carbohydrates, and fat intakes each and every day in order to reach your full potential of getting results. An example of this would be, a person needing 200g of protein, 300g of carbs and 50g of fat for the day. They would divide these numbers by however many meals they eat a day. So let's say 4 meals a day, this would mean this person needs 50g of protein, 75g of carbs, and around 12g of fat at each of their four meals spaced throughout the day. By not counting your Macros, you could potentially be eating extra calories that your body simply will not be able to utilize & oxidize. Therefore, those extra calories will be stored into fat cells. This is why I'm such a huge proponent of macronutrient counting. It doesn't matter whether you're trying to bulk up (put on lean muscle) in the winter or lean out for the summer to hit the pool parties. You must be accountable for your own macronutrients because our bodies and metabolic rates were all made
