Podcasts about my macros

We are so excited to have Dani Marenburg from Mindin' My Macros to talk about moderation, eating for your homones, and diet culture. You can find her on instagram at @mindinmymacros and listen to her podcast Mindin' My Wellness. 

EPISODE 67 The truth is, eating healthy is not the same as eating for fat loss. Protein, carbs, and fat each play an important role in helping you reach your health goals. You MUST maintain the correct balance to get the results you want. In this episode, I explain what macros are and why they matter more than just eating healthy, the common mistakes that keep women stuck, and how to track and adjust macros for fat loss.This week, I challenge you to download a macro tracking app like My Macros+ or MacrosFirst and start tracking your macros. Just track what you are already eating. Enter each and every bite! You may be surprised by how off you are when it comes to estimating your protein, carbs, and fat. Then, focus on 0.8-1 gram per pound of body weight of protein per day. Your JGFG membership includes macro coaching, so message me if you have any questions or want to join JGFG and would like my help!This episode is for you if:You are frustrated with your results after “eating healthy”You want to better understand the importance of macrosYou want to start tracking your macros, but don't know where to startYou are strong.

Social media seems to be flooded with the new fad diet of “counting macros”...or is it a fad? And is it even a diet? Dani Patton, nutritionist, macro coach, and face of Mindin' My Macros on Instagram, is on the podcast today to discuss this phenomenon. Dani wants all of you to know that macros are a tool, not a restricting fad diet, used to help you achieve your health goals and enjoy a well lived life. The idea is to fuel your body with the macronutrients it needs, not restrict it!After graduating college, Dani was looking for something that wasn't another yo-yo diet to help her find a sustainable lifestyle to help her look and feel her best.  Dani researched and concluded that macros were the answer! Macros are the simple makeup of the food we all eat; protein, carbs, and fat. Manipulating these three main macro categories is the key to sustainable eating habits that will help you reach your health goals. Through her work with over 1,000 women, Dani has found that protein is the macro the majority are lacking the most. Logging your daily macros in a free macro counting app is a great way to check in on your current eating habits. If macro counting seems daunting for you, Dani suggests focusing on simply upping your daily protein intake. Currently pregnant or soon to be? Dani is pregnant currently too and knows it can be difficult when morning sickness kicks in. Her suggestion is to find what food works for you while sick and try to focus on that protein intake! If you loved today's episode, don't forget to share it and tag @mindinmymacros and @expectingandempowered.

He lets people see him in a positive light and be positive to others because not doing so is not conducive to growth for anybody. Eating healthy has helped Robert stay positive. At the end of the day, it's easy for Robert to stay positive because he's grateful. [03:20] Why Robert Wrote Ketogenic Bodybuilding: A Natural Athlete's Guide to Competitive Savagery Get Ketogenic Bodybuilding: A Natural Athlete's Guide to Competitive Savagery: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09QZ68MJ7/benazadi-20 This book took Robert two years to write. It's all the lessons Robert has learned from the last seven years. Overall, it's a great resource for people who want to improve their composition. [07:20] How To Increase Your Protein During Mealtime If you're trying to build more muscle, you may not benefit from doing an OMAD approach. In a building phase, Robert will eat two or three meals a day. Currently, Robert eats 3,000 calories a day and 220 grams of protein. If Robert had to eat all of that in one meal, he would be miserable. Robert uses My Macros+: https://www.getmymacros.com/ [09:45] What's The Difference Between Animal-Based and Plant-Based Proteins? Animal-base is just going to be more bioavailable, and it has a better amino acid profile. You can succeed on a plant-based diet. However, you are going to have more supplements. Robert eats a lot of meat and doesn't have any issues with it. Meat helps Robert streamline and simplify his meal prep. [16:30] How Can You Be A Body Builder Without Any Carbs?  Most people didn't think it was possible to lift hard and heavy on a low-carb diet. Plus, people told Robert that he wasn't going to have any energy. Well, keto helped Robert improve his relationship with food. Haters will talk smack all day long; Robert doesn't listen to it. Read Metabolic Characteristics of Keto-Adapted Ultra-Endurance Runners: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0026049515003340 [19:10] Will Eating High Protein Knock You Out of Ketosis?   When it comes to bodybuilding and body composition, Robert is not really worried about people having a lot of protein. If you're eating minimal carbs and you feel great, then you're obviously functioning on fat and ketones. If your calories are very low, you may want to leave fat higher and decrease protein because fat is great for energy. Don't leave protein low indefinitely. [21:50] Should You Throw Away Your Scale? How To Track Your Health   Robert says, “don't throw away your scale!” He likes to look at his weight as a data point. Weight doesn't show the whole picture, but it does show one piece of data. Instead, your composition should be what you measure. Also, take pictures and measurements. [25:50] Why Robert Decided To Develop The Keto Brick   Purchase Keto Brick meal replacement bars here: https://glnk.io/1l3/thebenazadi Keto Bricks help Robert hit his macros more efficiently, take the guesswork out of meal prep, and it is just super convenient. It's a 1,000 calorie meal replacement bar. Overall, it makes hitting your fat macros much easier. A lot of people have a hard time getting enough dietary fat, so it helps streamline that process. [29:10] Why You Should Consider Buying The Keto Brick    There are seven full-time flavors. The top flavor is a chocolate peanut butter cup. In the future, there will be a keto brick that only has eight total grams of carbs. For 1,000 calories, eight grams of carbs is unreal! Most keto products are absolute crap, and they are not worth your time. [33:50] How To Get Started With Fitness If you're doing nothing, getting up off of the couch and moving is progress in the right direction. If you haven't trained before, start with a push-pull leg routine. Anything is going to be better than nothing! If you are already in a legitimate regimen, then increase weight, increase time under tension, increase density, and increase frequency. [36:15] What Should You Do If You Feel Sore The Next Day?   Don't do the same muscle group again. If you just started training, you will have a week or two of muscle soreness. To get through muscle soreness, you should train through it. If you're a seasoned lifter, you may benefit from a week where you decrease the intensity. [41:20] Should You Work Out Fasted or Have a Meal Before Exercise?   It comes down to preference. Robert prefers fasted workouts. Fats take a long time to absorb; you won't make use of those calories. Robert eats his evening meal as his “pre-workout meal” for the next day. AND MUCH MORE!

Here is Everything You Need To Know About Nutrition And Weight Loss. This is gonna be a doozy... but you need to know it. I have written about this a bit before... but this is the expanded version. Here we go.. Concept 1: Food is energy and nutrients. All the food and drinks you consume contain two main things: Calories and nutrients. Calories are the energy found in the food. That energy is what keeps you alive and why we have to eat. That energy is what lets your heart beat and your lungs breathe and your legs move. The nutrients in your food are what allow your body to perform specific functions. Those nutrients are what allow your body to make energy and the material you need to make new cells. Concept 2: You need enough, but not too much. Your body is like everything else in the universe, meaning it is governed by the laws of physics.That means your body needs energy coming in to keep it functioning (energy going out). If you have too much energy going in your body gains mass (weight). This can be good or bad depending on the context. If you have too little energy going in your body loses mass (weight). This can be good or bad depending on the context. To gain or lose weight you need to find the right net negative or net positive. Concept 3: The best way to change your weight is to make an educated guess and track your energy intake. Look… here is the deal. If you live outside of a scientific laboratory the best way to change your weight is to do the following 3 steps: 1) Make the best guess you can about what your body expends in a day. This is what our calculator does 2) Track your energy intake (calories) very closely for a few weeks, preferably 4-6 weeks and see if your body weight changes in the direction you want to go. 3) If it is going in the right direction, keep doing that. If it isn't, adjust your calorie intake up or down a few hundred calories and keep going. Repeat this exercise. Concept 4: Energy is priority but nutrients matter. Remember how food has energy (calories) and nutrients? Well there are two main kind of nutrients and they are divided based on two criteria: whether they provide energy or not and how large of quantities we consume them in. Macronutrients is the first type. These contain calories and are consumed in the order of magnitude of ~10 grams to 1000 grams. Protein and carbs are 4 calories per gram. Fat is 9 calories per gram. Micronutrients is the second type. These do not contain calories and are consumed in quantities 30 grams in one meal and it doesn't all go to waste. That's pure balderdash (great game btw, you should play it).  CARBOHYDRATES Carbohydrates apart from fiber don't seem to impact weight loss any differently than dietary fat, thus once protein targets are met, carb and fat ratios can vary considerably with little to no difference.Assuming you have enough carbs to fuel your training and performance, consuming more doesn't help you set more PRs or burn more calories.Fiber, as a carbohydrate, does play some role in weight loss, but it is centered mostly around it's ability to provide satiety with very minimal (or zero) calories.Low calorie and higher calorie fibrous carbs like broccoli, spinach, zucchini, beans, berries, and potatoes are some of the most filling foods you can include in your diet. Practically speaking, it's quite difficult to be full and satiated on a low calorie diet without eating fibrous carbohydrates.We recommend you eat 5 servings of them a day. A good rule of thumb is to have at least 1-2 fruits and/or vegetables at every meal. When possible reduce added sugars but you don't have to eliminate them. Fructose is FINEEEEE. Under 100 grams a day and no major health issues noted.FATS Fat is similar in importance to carbohydrates. Having higher fat and lower carb may cause more additional water loss, but this is merely short term. This happens because lower carb diets can cause some glycogen loss from your muscles thus withdrawing water. Some people like this for initial motivation as the scale drops a little faster initially.But I can't emphasize the word initially enough as long term higher fat vs higher carb diets level out.Eating more or less in relation to carbs makes no difference in long term weight loss in all lines of research assuming calories and protein are matched.Thus for most standard diets, once protein is met and fat is set at a healthy level for hormone production, your remaining calories can be any macro, so if you enjoy higher fat foods, feel free to eat more fat. If you prefer more carbs, that's fine too. Either way, there is no long term difference.Now, there is the exception with the trendy ketogenic diet which is high fat and very low carb diet. While the ketogenic diet is not always adherable for everyone and possesses no physiological advantage, it does have an appetite suppressing effect.Indeed, we see in research, by taking fat higher and dropping net carbs (non-fiber carbs) to low extremes, the state of ketosis can suppress appetite quite well making weight loss simple and easier for some people (2).But unless you're ok with giving up sugary/starchy carbs for a long consistent period of time, we recommend for most people they simply eat a reasonable amount of both carbs and fat. With enough protein and fiber, you can still greatly suppress your appetite. Concept 11: Artificial Sweeteners Require Some Nuance This is gonna ruffle some jimmies but here is what we know about artificial sweeteners. They definitely do not cause weight gain... we know that with like 99% certainty (nothing in 'science' is 100%). They have not been shown to cause any real health issues. HOWEVER... some people report GI distress or headaches after consuming certain ones... if that is you, just skip it. Sort of like most people are fine with peanuts but if you have an allergy... you don't have to eat peanut butter. There is some evidence that certain ones have different effects on blood sugar depending on your microbiome... but that really doesn't tell us that much about outcomes. Again... if you find certain ones don't agree with you... Don't consume them. Concept 12: Alcohol In Moderation Is Probably Ok... But It Isn't Helping. Alcohol is empty calories, changes your decision making around food, and sort of puts the brakes on fat metabolism while it deals with the alcohol so be mindful of your intake. If you choose to drink here is how you limit its effect on your progress. MAKE SURE YOU ACCOUNT FOR IT IN YOUR CALORIES.Weight loss is fundamentally about energy balance. If you want to lose weight or gain weight, you have to ensure that you take energy balance into account, which includes alcohol consumption.Tracking your alcohol intake is a great way to account for your alcohol intake and ensuring that you are hitting your caloric needs.From a calorie perspective, there are a few ways to track your intake.The first is to simply utilize entries in tracking programs like My Macros+ or the actual labels on the drinks (store-bought drinks such as beer or seltzers are required to have calorie information on them).Secondly, you can track each individual ingredient in a mixed drink and assign 7 calories per gram of alcohol (a standard shot contains ~14 grams).DON'T LET ALCOHOL INFLUENCE YOUR FOOD CHOICES.I am as guilty of this as anyone.I have a few drinks and all of a sudden that plate of nachos I wasn't planning on touching has now vanished.Consuming alcohol lowers your inhibitions and your ability to control food intake. Most research shows that as alcohol consumption goes up, so does your calorie intake.KEEP YOUR DRINKS SIMPLE.Simply put, the more complicated and more ingredients in your drink, the more calories it probably has.For example, the average Pina Colada has around ~300 calories in a single drink while a Long Island Iced Tea has ~800 calories.Conversely, a vodka-soda or rum and Diet Coke has

There’s a lot of confusion (overlapping) between building muscle size and muscle strength. Although these 2 elements can be connected, they aren’t mutually exclusive of each other and that’s what we’re talking about today.

Don’t get this wrong; I really want to help anyone and everyone, but I do put an extra emphasis on helping women, simply because I am one. Because I understand the female mind and body. Because I’ve been through all the challenging season that she’s been through, and because I know what she’s currently going (growing!) through. I’m all for helping all amazing humans, but especially women. And if you’re a female, you definitely want to tap into this episode.

I feel like I’ve lived so many lives, especially over the last decade. There have been so many different Courtneys; I have levelled-up, became more mature, focused, driven, taken risks, challenge myself and pushed my abilities.

So today on the podcast, I thought it would be fun to share some of my mistakes, share some of the things that I have learned over the years as a coach. My Macros 101 clients know that I very firmly believe that there are no failures, that in life you either get the result that you want or the lesson that you need. And so over the years as I have been coaching clients, I've gotten a lot of lessons and I have learned and I have grown. And I like to think that I've become a better coach over the years as I've practiced. And the shifts that have happened, the learning that has happened during that time, has grown me into a better coach. It was kind of fun for me to go back and look back at the way that I coached back when I first started coaching, and how that has evolved over the years. And more importantly, why that has evolved.   Find show notes at bicepsafterbabies.com/98

Just because you go to the gym, doesn’t mean you’re changing your body composition. In order to make a change, we need to force the change to occur.

Episode 048: Growth Environment A growth mindset can take us to incredible heights in our life, influenced by our thoughts and beliefs. Being in a growth environment allows us to continually be challenged by the external factors around us: the people and atmosphere we are in.

In this episode we talk about macros and calories. The fitness industry is covered with people who are either doing Keto, Fasting, Carb Cycling or whatever else you want to call it. Bottom line is; you have to take a stance somewhere and decide what is going to work for you. Where we think you should start is at the beginning. Can you: Track your food for a period of time? Make adjustments to that based on the information you received? Continue to do this until you have gotten the results you are looking for? Well if you are unsure hopefully this will help you out. Here you go! Track your food. This can be done with a food log journal on just a note pad, or using something like My Fitness Pal or My Macros +. Pick a method and track what you are currently eating for 3-5 days. I like 5 because it gives you some consistency. Improve your Food Quality First! So this means eating minimally processed whole foods at an amount that supports your daily energy needs. This is different for everyone so number of meals/day is a great place to start here of good quality food. Then the times at which you eat. Your body responds to rhythms. Meal timing is no different, can you eat around the same time everyday? This will help with creating regular hunger signals and being able to respond to them appropriately. Then you can adjust volume of food as needed. Track your weight during the same time you track your food. I that 3-5 day period did you: Lose Weight Maintain Weight Gain Weight Depending on which one (i.e. Gain weight). If your goal is to lose weight then first look back at your quality and times you eat and work through those first. This is because volume is easily manipulated with the addition of just these two steps. Then, if you need to decrease the amount of food or increase it simply try dropping a snack from your routine and see what happens give it a significant amount of time to work for you (at least 6 weeks) then make adjustments from there. There is no guarantee and there is a law of diminishing returns on all of this but if you stay consistent then you can see the results you are looking for.

Today's episode is a very special one on the 20 Minute Fitness podcast. And the reason behind this is that we have the pleasure to finally introduce you to our very own season 2. We have been working really hard on this new season in the past couple of weeks and so hope to get you as excited as we are. Let's dive into it, shall we?The team behind 20 Minute Fitness has decided to take the podcast into a more fit-tech, health-tech direction. Of course this doesn't mean that we will lose our general health & fitness focus, but rather that we'll take it to the next level. We'll be mixing our health & fitness topics with technology. And there are two main reasons behind this. Reason #1: Technology is the future of health & fitness. It is revolutionizing the industry and is here for your benefit, you just have to learn how to take advantage of it. Hence, we find it important to teach our listeners about the amazing innovations born every day and show how you can benefit from these innovations to reach your health & fitness goals more effectively.Reason #2: This is the arena we operate in with ShapeScale. This is where are expertise lie. And this is our greatest passion that we would like to share with you guys. Season 2 - The Fit-Tech SeasonWithin Season 2 we are introducing not one, but two very exciting new sub-series.How Technology Can Help SeriesSeries 1 is going to be our 'How Technology Can Help' series. In each episode we will set a specific and very common health & fitness goal, like losing weight, as our focus. Then we'll introduce a number of tech solutions that can help you in reaching that specific health & fitness goal in a more efficient and better way.The main goal of this series will be to show how technology can help you along your health & fitness journey.Why I Built This SeriesSeries 2 is going to be our 'Why I Built This' series. With a more entrepreneurial spill, we'll be running exclusive interviews with the founders & co-founders of the most extraordinary health-tech and fit-tech companies out there.Unlike in the 'How Technology Can Help' series, here we'll be focusing exclusively on one amazing health & fitness innovation and the mastermind behind it in each episode. We will bring you insightful and very interesting conversations about the 'behind the scenes' of the given brand and the fundamental issues that have given rise to its products and services. Coming up...Before we let you press play, here's a little bit of sneak peak to get you excited. In our first couple of episodes of the 'How Technology Can Help' series, we will be focusing on health & fitness goals, such as improving your strength training performance, training for your first marathon or getting in better shape. We'll bring you some amazing fit-tech innovations that will get you on track towards reaching these goals. In our 'Why I Built This' series we'll be interviewing inspiring individuals, like Tim Peck, who is the Co-Founder and CEO of Call9, a health-tech company reinventing 911 and emergency care. We'll introduce you to Gene Gurkoff, who is the brain behind Charity Miles, an app that combines exercising with the amazing act of charity. And Jason Loewy will share how he built one of the most successful nutrition apps, MyMacros+, before even graduating from college.

David Korsunsky spent 15 years working for industry-leading technology firms, and in 2015 founded Heads Up Health, a San Francisco-based startup helping people to aggregate and learn from their own health information. The company can retrieve lab work from over 30,000 providers across the US, building a single health history and a timeline that can help to make sense of your current challenges. In this podcast, I’m talking with David about his mission to help 100 million people take control of their health. We talk about the Heads Up Health platform, which integrates with apps and devices and eliminates that dusty old pile of lab reports you weren’t sure what to do with.  David also shares his own story as a case study, demonstrating the value of having easy, mobile, shareable access to all of your health information.
