Stop calorie counting, start counting macros

To change how your body looks and feels, stop counting calories and start counting your macros. You may have heard about calories in, calories out however all calories are not created equal. For example, If you eat 1,500 calories of junk, you will technically lose weight, but you will feel lethargic and hungry. If you eat 1,500 calories of lean meats, complex carbs, and healthy fats, you will build muscle, burn fat, and have the energy to enjoy your day. 

Your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is the exact number of calories your body burns in 24 hours. Use a free online TDEE calculator to find your number, then adjust it for your goals:

TDEE is simple and the information is all there, if you’re looking to lose fat, eat 300-500 below your TDEE or if you’re looking to build muscle, have 200–300 calories above your TDEE.

The next part is to split ingredients into three categories, protein, carbohydrates and fats.

Protein builds muscle, repairs tissue, and keeps you full so you stop craving sugar. Carbohydrates are your body’s energy source. Choose complex, fiber-rich carbs over refined sugars. Finally, fats are essential for hormone regulation and brain health.

Calculating macros is the easy part; cooking food to fit those numbers is where most people quit. This is where we come in, Fitfood does the math for you. Order before Thursday and just heat, eat, and hit your targets:
