Let's face the harsh reality: Dieting is hard.
Who doesn't hate the idea of counting calories every time before eating? But
it's something that you mandatorily needed to do in order to stay on the line
towards your weight loss goals. What if there was a diet plan which is flexible
enough to let you eat anything you want and still lose weight, but without the
hassle of counting calories? Good news, there is! It's known as the macro diet
and it might just be the perfect thing for you.
To follow the macro diet doesn't necessarily
imply depriving your body; it's more about feeding it the ideal nutrition for
even more efficiency. All you have to do, for that, is count your macros.
You're not really likely to count macros, till now, until you're a gym-freak or
someone who's really into nutrition. Macro dieting can actually benefit anyone
who's looking to embrace smart foods that align with their personal goals-be it
losing weight, building muscle or simply maintaining a healthier lifestyle.

How To Find Your Body's Macro Requirement?
Calculating your macros just requires some basic maths.
- Step 1-Firstly, you need to find out your "energy
balance" or the number of calories you intake and burn each day. You can
calculate it by using your body weight, activity level and gender to have an
estimate on how many calories your body expends in a day.
- Step 2-Once you have the figure, you have got to come
up with a targeted calorie intake that meets your weight-loss goals. Ideally,
to lose weight, your daily calorie count should be 10 to 15 per cent below what
you're burning per day.
- Step 3-After determining your daily calorie consumption, you must figure out how much of that calorie should come from fat, carbs, and protein. Macro diet experts sometimes advocate for a strict 40 per cent protein, 40 per cent carbohydrate and 20 per cent fat split, but again there is no such optimal ratio.
