Here is a link to setting up your Macros safely that is not Pseudo Science.

I do believe in the importance of Macros.

    This version makes a lot more sense and is backed by both scientific research and real-world results. 10/10.

    And +1 that macros matter.

    But I said something to my teacher's brother's cousin who has a PhD in Ancient Greek Underwater Basket Weaving and she said I was right. Plus I have a pie chart to prove it.

    I for one do not appreciate how this thread is cheering on the mocking of ancient Greek underwater basket weaving.

    Underwater basket weaving: It was a joke, of course. Since the ’50s, “underwater basket weaving” has been used to refer to obscure or absurd college courses. Naturally, Reed students thought it would be fun to actually teach such a course at Paideia. A classic photo of a snorkeled student suspended in the pool weaving a basket still appears in the viewbook. You might think that after 40 years, the joke would wear out. Not at all. Several times a year, interns from peripheral news outlets dedicate roughly seven minutes to writing uncredited feature stories about absurd college courses. Inevitably, tucked between The Physics of Star Trek and The T’ao! of Homer Simpson is Underwater Basket Weaving at Reed College—now held up as an example of the very trend it was supposed to lampoon. Mother Nature Network provided a typical example of shoddy journalism in its “15 Weird College Courses.” “nderwater basket weaving actually involves making baskets by dipping reeds into water and letting them soak—at least that’s how Reed College of Portland in Oregon taught it.”

    I don't see how The Physics of Star Trek is a stupid college course ): Mr. Krauss is a theoretical physicist and he wrote a book about it. Silly article.

    this is quite possibly the most accurate pie chart in the world :drinker:

    Macros are protein, fat, and carbs.

    FALSE!!! There is no way that chart is accurate (the eaten/uneaten ratios are reversed).
