2842: How to Calculate Your Macros ; The Complete Beginner to Advanced Guide

Macros explained, finally in a way that actually makes sense. Sal, Adam, and Justin break down everything you need to know about macronutrients: what they are, why they matter more than just counting calories, how to calculate your targets, and how to adjust them based on your goals and how your body feels.

Whether you're trying to lose fat, build muscle, or just finally understand what everyone is talking about when they say 'hit your macros,' this episode covers it all. They also share the wild frontier story about hunters who starved to death eating nothing but rabbits, and why that story changes how you think about fat forever.
