Counting Macros and Science Are The Same
Just the other night, my wife and I were unpacking the macro counting mystery. It turns out a lot of her friends are buzzing about it but hitting a wall when it comes to actually doing it. It’s one of those things that seems overwhelming at first glance, especially when math is part of the equation – and who’s a fan of math, right?
The Misunderstood Simplicity of Macros
But here’s a little secret: macro counting is simpler than it appears. The bulk of the work? Already done. We live in an age of convenience, and nutrition tracking apps are the pinnacle of that. They crunch numbers for us, and food packages spill all the details you need to feed the app. Essentially, your job boils down to entering those numbers into your phone.
The Real Challenge: Embracing Change
So, what’s holding us back if it’s not the complexity? Well, macro counting is, at its core, a dietary change. It’s a shift from eating at will to eating with a plan. It means saying goodbye to spontaneous snacking and hello to structure – and that’s a big step for anyone.
The Mental Block of Change
Change is tough. It’s human nature to shy away from discomfort, to cling to the familiar, even when it’s not serving us. We’re wired to view change as loss, as a painful swap from what we enjoy to what we tolerate.
What Counting Macros Really Means
But that’s not the essence of macro counting. It’s not a narrative of sacrifice but one of smart choices. It’s not just about cutting back; sometimes, it’s about fueling up more – but doing so mindfully. Macro counting isn’t about limiting life but structuring it to propel you towards your goals.
