“Macros” is a shortened version of the term “macronutrients”. While that may sound like a big fancy word, it actually just means the kinds of nutrients that we need in large quantities in order to keep our bodies functioning properly: carbs, fat, and protein. Getting a sufficient amount of these macros is important for your overall health and well being. If you want to focus on tracking your macros and following a more strict plan (such as my 40/30/30 eating plan) you may want to check out my macros plates. Similar to the MyPlate, the Macros Plate also has visuals that can help you make balanced meals that will help your body feel great and get leaner. Making changes in your lifestyle to get healthier can seem difficult, but you’d be surprised by how much of a difference a simple swap of the plates you eat on can make!
