Why Macro Counting and what exactly is it?

My experience with many diets led me to believe some foods are good for you and some foods are bad for you. The way you lost weight was determined by the foods you cut out of your diet and so on.

Chicken + Rice = Good. Ice Cream + candy = Bad.

“Eating clean was the only way to successful dieting” was my philosophy until macro counting came about!

What is Flexible Dieting?

Flexible Dieting (also known as If It Fits Your Macros or simply Counting Macros) is simply the counting and tracking of macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates, and fat) to achieve a body composition goal.

Counting Macros
Macronutrients or Macros make up the majority of our diets.

There are three main macros: Protein, Fat, and Carbohydrate. One gram of each macro has a calorie value.

·       1 Gram of Protein = 4 Calories

·       1 Gram of Carbohydrate = 4 Calories

·       1 Gram of Fat = 9 Calories

Flexible Dieting teaches that there are no miracle weight loss foods. No good or bad foods, just macro ratios.  When food enters your stomach your body isn’t thinking “Healthy or unhealthy?” it is simply breaking down the food and processing the macronutrients.

To maintain and improve overall health, although not necessary to change your body, I’d recommended tracking your fiber intake as well. This will ensure that you are getting enough micronutrients as well. For overall better health, 80-85% of your diet should come from nutritious whole foods

What Are the Benefits?

As I’ve mentioned before I’ve followed a wide range of different diets (Paleo, Atkins, 100% whole foods).  All of them have their merits but Flexible Dieting is by far my favorite and one I continue to follow today.

Below I’ll give three reasons why:

1. Effective

The most important tool in weight loss is understanding that a calorie deficit is necessary for losing weight.

Although quality is still important, quantity is the greater determining factor in weight loss or gain. If you’re not in a calorie deficit you can eat all the “good foods” you want and go nowhere.

By tracking everything that enters your mouth you stop the guesswork and take control over how & when you reach your goals. Tracking, whether it’s your macros or calories, is hands down the most effective way to change your body.

2. Flexible (Duh)

Flexible dieting is just that: Flexible.

By focusing on your macronutrient intake rather than eating certain foods you can still achieve your goals while enjoying life with everyone else. You can have your cake and eat it too! 

One of the challenges I’ve always found around dieting was the awkward social element. There are only so many dinners you can bring Tupperware containers full of rice and chicken to without feeling like a complete a-hole. Research shows that a more flexible approach leads to less anxiety and more successful weight management.

By allowing yourself flexibility you can join in on meals with families and friends, so long as you keep track of what you’re eating.

3. Sustainable

For years my cycle would look the same. I’d set myself a super restrictive way of eating and then “Diet, Diet, Diet, Binge…Diet, Diet, Diet, Binge.”  This ruins your metabolism and you will go off the diet and eat all the things you have been deprived of and gain more than what you started at!!!  You need to retrain your brain to eat when you are hungry and still enjoy foods.  Learning portion control is also big and that is why measuring food can teach you about how much a serving is.

I had such an unhealthy view of eating and because of that I never really stuck to anything long enough to get results.

I didn’t realize that food is not just physical it’s also psychological.

Flexible Dieting is the first thing that I’ve been stick to consistently over a long period of time. From my experience, it seems to kill the “Diet, Binge” cycle many of us have found ourselves on.

Because you can eat whatever you want (in moderation) it’s more mentally & emotionally sustainable. 

I hope you like my approach and that it will help you with your relationship with food and stop feeling guilty for eating “bad foods,” there is no such thing as bad foods you just need to watch how much you eat of each macro to achieve your goal!!!
