Listen in as Kevin explains the breakdown of macronutrients. This episode is heavier on the nutritional knowledge and terminology, just be warned. This episode presents three topics: One - Describing macronutrients and how they provide us energy. Two - How macros relate to our food, as well as other factors to consider when following a macronutrient plan. Three - Different macronutrient ratios, which provide an individualized approach for each of our genetically different bodies (And WHY should you even care about macros at all).
