    I this like a hash tag on Instagram or something? I feel like I've missed out on something here. I personally prefer to count my collection of Disney Princess figurines.

    Lol that's all I have been doing since January 6th. It's easy now. Or I should say getting easier to hit my goals.

    Counting macros is counting calories.

    I count calories and those calories are divided between the macros in a way that meets my nutritional needs and keeps me satiated.

    Counting Macros is the same as counting calories, BUT!! Counting macros can be more efficient for training and Athletic purposes. For example I'm an endurance athlete and if I start to feel like I'm not performing optimally I go back into my diary and see if I'm carb depleted and eating to much fat or whatever. So I can adjust my rating accordingly to eat more carbs for a few days to restore my glycogen storage and perform much better. As a prospective medical student it also helps me see how my nutrition is affecting my performance in school so Macros is by far a more detailed way to count calories however they are fundamentally one in the same!

    Recently discovered flexible dieting and loving the fact that I can now eat chocolate and not feel like I've ruined my diet!
