Options
Hey there,
Any idea if us ladies should be adjusting our macros if we are pre conception phase? Or it's all systems as normal?
Tips are greatly appreciated!

    If you are trying to get pregnant, this is a question for your doctor.

    I don't know the answer, but I would suspect that you would not want to go low-fat.

    This is probably the best advice. I would assume a well-balanced diet would be enough but we don't know your medical history. Many physicians suggest these days that you begin taking a prenatal vitamin as soon as you start trying to conceive to make sure you're getting things like folic acid and other micros during the early stages of fetal development, but not sure what the current advice is for macros.
