Summary

Did you know there are four phases of macro counting? Most people don't know this. Most people download a macro counting app, eat in a serious caloric deficit, and think those are the macros they ALWAYS need be eating. 
 
But here's the thing: You need to eat different macros based on your goals. The macros will change depending on what you are trying to achieve. The macros need to lose fat will not be the same macros you need to gain muscle. Plus, living in a caloric deficit is one of the worst things you could do for your metabolism. 
 
That's why in this episode of the Embrace Your Real Podcast, I breakdown the four different phases of macro counting to help you understand WHY utilizing these four phases are so important for building the body you want in a healthy way. I explain a little bit in this episode why living in a caloric deficit instead healthy to help you understand why the body fat loss phase is not a phase you should live in.
