Straight up, if you’re big and don’t make it to the end of what I've written here, it’s literally the reason why you’ll have 6 Yorkshire puds on your dinner, compared to everyone else’s 2.
A calorie is simply a measurement of energy and the food we eat contains calories.
Our brain, muscles, every cell in our body, requires energy to operate.
So your body burns a certain amount of calories a day. Everyone is different.
If you’ve made it this far, well done.
The calories you consume are made up of different food groups.
Those 3 right there are your macros (protein, carbs, fat = Macros). That word ain’t so scary now is it ya stress head.
Okay, I know this is longer than 20 seconds, but so what, this is free content that could change your life.
So we know the 'calories in vs calories out' rule dictates your body fat percentage, and we know the calories you consume are made up of macros (food groups). Did you know though, different macros have different calorie values?
That doesn’t mean eating fat makes you fat.
Stop asking 'What makes you fat, carbs, fat or calories?' Its a load of rubbish.
Remember eating more CALORIES is what makes you fat - this is what we teach on the Life Plan. We want you to eat foods you enjoy, whilst operating in a sustainable caloric deficit.
Food like pizza, ice cream, and chocolate are high in grams of fat, so, if you eat lots of high fat foods, it will likely put you into a caloric surplus .
Right so as you can see, the yellow is fats, blue is carbs, and orange is protein.. Go and look at the foods first.
Those foods are HIGH in that macro, so...
On the Life Plan, we set you X amount of calories, these calories are made up of specific macros. It may look something like:
If we add these up above, by their multipliers that I mentioned earlier:
Total = 1,930 calories
Ah you know what I'm gonna do a video, this is doing my head in.
I hope all this makes sense to you all. Don't ever give up okay, because I promise this is the KEY to your future happiness.
