Yo, Bro Avocado fam! 🚀 You’ve probably heard gym bros, fit chicks, and nutrition nerds talking about macros like it’s some secret code to gains. Well, guess what? It isn’t and Coach Avocado is here to break it down in the simplest way possible.
What the Guac Are Macros? 🏋️♂️🥑
Macros (short for macronutrients) are the three main types of nutrients that give your body energy and keep you crushing workouts like a beast. These bad boys are:
✅ Protein 🍗 – Builds muscle, repairs tissue, and keeps you feeling full.
✅ Carbs 🍞 – Your body’s fuel source for energy and performance.
✅ Fats 🥑 – Supports hormones, brain function, and overall health.
Why Should You Care? 🤔
If you’re trying to get shredded, bulk up, or just stop feeling like a sluggish potato, tracking macros is the key. Think of it like putting premium fuel in a sports car—except the sports car is your body, and the fuel is your macros.
Macro Breakdown: What’s Right for You? ⚖️
Depending on your goal, your macro split should be dialed in like this:
💪 Muscle Gain (Bulking): 40% Carbs | 30% Protein | 30% Fats
🔥 Fat Loss (Cutting): 30% Carbs | 40% Protein | 30% Fats
⚡ Maintenance (Stay Jacked): 35% Carbs | 35% Protein | 30% Fats
