Summary

Calories, macros, protein, it can all sound complicated, but is it? We know calories are king, but what happens with the protein, fat and carbs, and when should we get more or less specific about them? What people NEED a more specific approach, and why?

0:00.0	Hey everyone Ben Kumba Radio, good morning, how are you? Literally just been
0:06.2	posting on my Instagram story raising the question are you about to have an
0:11.6	awesome week?
0:13.0	And I'd say you're always about 92% of people say,
0:16.3	yeah, I'm ready for me to have an awesome week.
0:19.9	I'm prepared, I'm ready, I'm in the zone I'm enjoying life works good families good and I always do wonder about the 8% I hope you're not in that 8% I hope you're looking ahead to an awesome week and if you're not what can change like what can you do
0:35.3	differently can you talk to someone can you get help can you read a book can you work
0:39.9	through the problem that you're facing can can you look to shift career paths, can you look to do
0:45.4	something that improves your consistency whenever I teach, one of the biggest things people

1:27.0	So quite often I look to remove friction rather than create a solution and removing the friction is the solution.
1:35.5	Anyway, that's not what I want to talk about today.
1:38.0	I had a question coming from a student of ours at the BTN Academy and it was actually a direct question to
1:45.5	myself and Tom and do you know what I thought I'd just read out on the podcast
1:51.1	because I thought it was a good little question that we hadn't sort of answered
1:55.5	directly before and yeah we're always we're always looking for questions so I thought let's throw it in the mix. So hi Tom and
2:06.1	Ben, I hope this email finds you well. I hoped I could ask you a question about macro splits when it comes to nutrition. So I know from what I've learned
