Does anyone know anything about counting macros? Is it good if you want to lose a large amount of weight? Or is it only good for maintaining weight? Any help would be appreciated.

    Counting macros just means keeping track of the amount of carbs, fats, and proteins (the 3 macronutrients) you consume. So it can be used for decreasing, maintaining, and increasing weight based on what your goals are.

    Ok thank you. I'm new to all of this, so I just thought I would ask for some help on the subject.

    I would try googling the topic... you'll find a lot of good & basic info on what macros are, how to figure out your macro breakdown based on your weight loss goals, and how to count/track them.
