Hi everybody, welcome for the Tonin Sculpt app podcast. It's Nicole, the registered

dietitian nutritionist for the Tonysculpt app. I'm going to be talking today a little bit about

basic nutrition, sort of what you hear right when you decide, I'm going to eat healthy,

and then you Google how do I eat healthy, and then you Google,

how do I eat healthy, and you're bombarded

with all of this information.

And it can be really overwhelming.

They are telling you to restrict this

and stop eating that and don't do this

and count your macros and all this stuff.

We see all this information,

we don't know where to go with it.

So what I'm really going to touch on today is what are macronutrients because that's a really

key word that it's just everywhere and can be confusing to many people. So macros stand for

macro nutrients. So what we have are macronutrients and micronutrients.

Our macronutrients are just protein, carbohydrates, and fat.

Those are our three macronutrients.

The reason why they do counting macros is some people find it a little bit less restrictive

than counting calories.

So you get your calories and you break it into how many carbs do I need, how much fat do I need,

how much protein do I need? And this varies depending on everybody. But for carbohydrates,

it can be recommended between 45 to 55% of your calories.
