Macros vs. calories

If you're counting macros you're inadvertently also counting calories. If you have a goal of for example 100g protein, 50 g fat, 150 g carbs that would be 1450 calories.0

Protons are delicious but they don't give you as much energy as eating electrons.

To sum it up from many previous posts.
* Counting a set number of macro's is counting calories.
* Counting macro's is an invaluable tool to fine tune your body composition, gain muscle, and improve athletic performance.
If you keep under your calories you'll loose weight even with the all twinkie diet. But your body will stay flabby, you'll be tired, and athletic performance would be terrible.

just out of interest and i would never do this if i had 5 double cheeseburger from macdonalds everyday with a total of 2185 calories would i lose weight? My allowance is over 2200 in order to lose a pound a week. If the answer is no then we have to keep an eye on the macros a little. (i know this is a stupid post)0

You would lose just the same. Maybe retain some water.0
