Calories vs. Macros

Hey babe,   I recently broke this down on a podcast, but wanted to share it in a written format as well.   If you've ever wondered... "What's the difference between calories and macros?"   Let me break it down for you...   Calories = Quantity   Calories tell you how much energy you're eating. That's it. Just a number.   Macros = Quality   Macros (short for macronutrients) tell you what those calories are actually made of.   And THIS tells your body what to do with the calories.   There are three macros:   Protein – builds and maintains muscle, keeps you full, supports your hormones Carbs – gives you energy for workouts and brain function Fats – regulates hormones, keeps your brain sharp, helps your skin glow   So when you see "1,500 calories," macros break that down further:   How much of that is protein? How much is carbs? How much is fat?   Here's why this matters:   You can eat 1,500 calories and lose weight. Sure.   But what those 1,500 calories are made of determines whether you look toned and strong—or soft and tired.   Example: Two women both eat 1,500 calories a day.   Woman A: Most of her calories come from carbs and fats. Not enough protein.   Result: She loses weight, but she's skinny-fat, tired, and frustrated.   Woman B: Her 1,500 calories are balanced with the right amount of protein, carbs, and fats.   Result: She loses fat, builds muscle, has energy, and looks toned. Same calories. Completely different results.   The bottom line: Calories determine your size. Macros determine your shape.   If you want to just lose weight, focus on calories.   If you want to lose fat, build muscle, and actually transform your body?   You need to focus on macros.   Nikkiey   P.S. If you want to dive deeper into this topic, our Macro Method program is the complete guide on macros.
