Coutning Macros
 

I've been reading up on counting macros. I am not looking to do this so I can eat additional stuff as long as all of my macros are counted for. I am concerned that maybe this isn't something for me since I am not doing any heavy weight lifting and have a lot of fat to lose before I can even worry about what the muscles underneath are looking like.


Is macro counting good for fat loss or just making you leaner?

If you are not lifting, I would not bother. I only counted macros (calories, fats, carbs, protein) to build/maintain muscle while *trying* to cut fat while weight lifting. If you are not lifting, just stick to calorie counting or whatever and maintain at least national dietary recommendations for protein intake.

Or do watch your macros and start lifting. Lifting is great.

Ah ok. I was starting to get the impression it was more geared towards lifting than just fat loss. Thanks!
