“Julie, how do I know if I actually need to adjust my macros based on my new activity levels?”
I get it. It can feel confusing to know when a change is actually needed and when you might just be overthinking it. The last thing I want is for you to feel like you’re constantly chasing numbers or tweaking your macros every time you happen to have a more active week.
So in this episode, we are going to break down exactly why adjusting your macros even matters in the first place—and just as importantly, when it does not make sense to adjust them. Because there is a big difference between occasional bursts of activity and true, consistent changes in your movement patterns that require more support through your nutrition.
What I discuss:
When it is actually time to adjust your macros
Why under-fueling is one of the fastest ways to stall your progress
The 4 most important steps to follow for adjusting your macros
