“Ok so when should I adjust my macros?” – the most common question after someone receives their custom macro calculations.
My answer?
Not often at all.
And only if what you are doing stops working and you aren’t seeing results.
But before you go and flip the table on everything you’re doing, you gotta *actually verify* that what you’re doing is not working and that you aren’t seeing results.
If you care about losing body fat, getting leaner, stronger and fitter – why aren’t you tracking variables that would give you that information? Why would you use the scale to verify this information? It like, very much does NOT tell you what you’re looking for.
All too often I see women get frustrated by the scale but when we talk it through, they actually can verify that what we’re doing *is working*
>> their pants are fitting looser
>> muscles be more defined
>> they are stronger, more fit
Truly, if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it! It’s almost always better to be eating as much food as possible while seeing results.
But you gotta be tracking metrics that you actually care about that measure the things you’re trying to assess.
Over the next several posts I’ll address all things progress – how to assess fat loss and lean muscle gain progress, best metrics to track, verifying plateaus, how to use the scale (if you want to!).
