The Beginner’s Guide to Tracking Macros

If you’ve ever wondered why you’re not losing weight despite eating less, it might be because you’re ignoring your macros.

What are Macros?

Macronutrients are the three main components of your food:

1. Protein (4 calories per gram) – Builds muscle.
2. Carbohydrates (4 calories per gram) – Provides energy.
3. Fats (9 calories per gram) – Regulates hormones.

How to Start

1. Calculate your TDEE: Find out how many calories you burn in a day.
2. Set your goal: If you want to lose weight, aim for a 300-500 calorie deficit.
3. Track your food: Use an app like Vitalis to log your meals.

Consistency is key. Don’t worry about hitting your numbers perfectly on day one. Just start logging! on Vitalis.
