Any gym junkie or fitness fanatic will tell you (without you asking, probably) about “counting macros.” The subject often crops up around nutrition in fitness. Whether you’re an elite athlete, bodybuilder or just entering the gym for the first time, tracking macros remains a topic that looms large.
Macro tracking refers to monitoring your daily intake of macronutrients — protein, fats and carbohydrates — in grams and as a percentage of your overall calorie consumption.
