4 Reasons Macros Are Not Helping You Lose Weight

after gaining back a year and a half later

there are a ton of macro calculators out there

protein

there's a ton of emphasis on how much protein you should eat

i want to make this stupid simple

recommended protein intake ranges from 1.6

let's say we have a 150-pound female; her protein intake would be 109 grams of protein

.6 = 109 grams of protein

.2 = 170 grams of protein

what if you're a vegan

as someone who's been eating more plant-based the past years

fat

if you're hitting your calorie goal and protein intake

is too much fat bad

while too much fat isn't bad

so what's the minimum amount of fat you should eat? at least
