Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best macro ratio for fat loss?
A common starting point for fat loss is 40% protein, 30% carbs, 30% fat. High protein (1.6-2.2g per kg) helps preserve muscle during a deficit. Adjust carbs and fat based on personal preference and how you feel during workouts.
Do I need to hit my macros exactly?
No. Being within 5-10g of each macro target is close enough. Total calories matter most for weight change. Protein is the most important macro to hit consistently, followed by total calories. Carb/fat split is more flexible.
Should I change macros on rest days?
For most people, keeping macros consistent daily is simpler and equally effective. Advanced athletes may benefit from cycling carbs (higher on training days, lower on rest days), but this is optional and adds complexity.
