IF I EXERCISED TODAY, HOW SHOULD I ADJUST MY MACROS? 🤔

The most important thing when time is of essence is to backtrack and try to figure out if you are eating more or eating too little.

Keep in mind as long as you plan your meals (whether cooking ahead of time/or hiring a meal delivery service) make sure you get some of your carbs (30–50grams) in before and after your workouts.

Here are some examples:

1/2 peanut or almond butter sandwich( 1 slice whole bread 1 tablespoon all natural peanut/or almond butter) and 1 cup almond milk

3/4 cup cereal of your choice and 1/2 cup almond milk or fat free milk.

The extra need for calories on workout days should be included when you know your total calories for the day.

Carbs do more than just provide extra energy during your workouts. They also help the recovery process when you’re finished, even on days off.

As long as you hit your macros each day and stay within the reasonable limits of your ratio (protein/carbs/fats %), you should be just fine whether you’re working out that day or not.
