What is going on everybody? Welcome back to the Mind Over Macros Podcast. As always, I'm your

host Mike Milner and today's episode, we're going to get super tactical. So I've been getting this question pretty frequently and actually having people come to me asking about macros, asking about how to set numbers. I do a lot of stuff for free,

which I think is really valuable. I think that the more free resources that we can provide to help just like clear up all the misinformation that's out there the better and I think that this whole idea of like trying to find the perfect macro ratio and how do I calculate my calories this question keeps coming up so I figured it would be easy to just break this all down for you on an episode so that you can truly understand what that process looks like and maybe stop being so focused on the numbers.

But first of all, understand that there's going to be

individual variance across the board. I've been preaching that since day one, so

hopefully if you are a longtime time listener you understand that.

But there are some things that we can, you know, kind of basic principles that we can apply.

And what I want to do with this episode is really just give you a practical way to calculate your own macros.

And honestly, I've got I've had calls with people who are paying money to basically hire a glorified calculator.

And so this is my attempt to help save you some money

because you don't need to hire a coach that is literally just a calculator.

If somebody, if you're paying a coach to basically give you numbers and send you on your way,

that in my opinion is a waste of money.

And I know there's a lot of programs out there

that claim that they're actually giving you coaching

and really they're just giving you numbers.

So hopefully this process will kind of clear that up and

allow you to save some time and energy on the process. So when I talk about

macros I'm not going to assume that everybody knows what that means.

Basically, we're looking at proteins, carbs, and fats, which is what make up all calories with the exception of alcohol.

So for people that say, oh, well, I count calories, macros are basically dividing calories

into the, where they come from the source of those
