    Paleo is a diet plan based on the Paleolithic Era. A lot of unprocessed foods, no dairy, no grains, etc.

    Macros are your carbs, fats, and proteins, as listed on all food labels, at least in the US.

    Micros are your micronutrients. Vitamins and minerals, mostly, but also specific carbs such as sugar and fiber as well as specific cats such as cholesterol and monounsaturated.
