Episode 3157: Rog Law uses a playful “bucket” analogy to demystify macronutrients, showing how proteins, fats, and carbs fill your daily energy container. By understanding how each “bucket” contributes to your goals, you can make smarter food choices, fuel performance, and build a more balanced relationship with eating. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://roglawfitness.com/macronutrient-madness-whats-in-your-bucket/ Quotes to ponder: "Think of your daily intake as a series of buckets that you fill up with protein, carbohydrates, and fats." "If your goal is fat loss, you need to make sure that the total amount in your buckets doesn’t overflow." "Awareness is the first step toward change, once you know what’s in your buckets, you can choose what to fill them with."
