Hi! The macros help us ensure that we are eating a balanced diet. If, for example you get all your calories from one food group, chances are you are not getting a good mix of nutrients.
Also it's easy to fall into eating the same thing every day. If you don't mix it up a bit you might find that by the end of the week your macros show a deficiency.
I think that it's easier to stick to a diet if you are getting all the nutrients your body needs. My mind certainly seems to send hunger messages even if all my body requires is one vitamin or mineral.2 -
