    Macronutrients - carbs/protein/fats. Setting your macros is one of the challenges we all face and there are many ways to calculate them.

    I was wondering myself, but i think I have figured it out.

    Its where you go a little deeper with your calculations, beyond just counting calories.

    Its where you try to count fat, sugar, protein, etc.

    At least, thats what I believe.

    Am I right, anybody?
