All About Macros

Why Eating Less Isn’t Always the Move — and Why Macros Matter

If you’ve ever tried to lose weight by just eating less, you’re not alone. Most of us have been taught that cutting calories = instant results. But here’s the truth:

Some of us are already barely eating, living in a constant calorie deficit — and still not seeing the changes we want. Why? Because your body is smart. If you under-eat for too long, it starts to hold on to fat instead of letting it go.

When your body thinks it's starving, it goes into survival mode. It slows down your metabolism, messes with your hormones, and stores energy (aka fat) for later. You're exhausted, cranky, and probably wondering why nothing’s working.

The problem isn’t always that you’re eating too much — it might be that you’re not eating enough of the right things. This is where macros come in.

Wait… What Are Macros?

Macros (short for macronutrients) are the three key nutrients your body needs in large amounts every single day:

• Protein – Helps build and repair muscle, keeps you full

• Carbs – Your main energy source (stop skipping them!)

• Fats – Supports hormones, brain function, and overall health

Counting just calories doesn’t tell you what your body is actually getting. You could eat 1,400 calories of junk… or 1,400 calories of balanced, high-protein meals — and your body will respond very differently.

Your Body Needs Fuel, Not Starvation

A lot of women trying to “tone up” are actually just under-fueled. They think carbs are bad, fats will make them fat, and protein is optional. But here’s the thing:

➡️ Carbs give you the energy to crush your workouts
➡️ Protein helps shape your body and keep you full
➡️ Fats keep your hormones happy and your body functioning

If you’re constantly tired, bloated, craving everything, or stuck in a plateau, it might not be your willpower — it might be your macros.

Short & Snatched Tip: Stop starving. Start fueling. Your dream body isn’t built by eating like a bird — it’s built by eating with purpose.
