Flexible Dieting Fundamentals

Book excerpt: You’ve probably seen or heard the term “if it fits your macros” in social media, blogs or even at the gym. What this means is you can essentially eat whatever foods you like as long you meet your macro (macronutrient) requirements. Macros refer to proteins, carbohydrates and fats. Unlike most diets that prohibit you from eating certain types of foods, especially “junk” foods, flexible dieting will provide you with the freedom to choose the foods you want to eat. In this book, you will discover the most essential parts of the diet such as calculating your macros, losing fat, gaining muscle, and how to modify your eating habits in order to make this way of eating a sustainable lifestyle.
