A MACRONUTRIENTS-BASED DIET GETS RESULTS!
LOSE FAT, BUILD MUSCLE
A healthy diet is at the core of any successful personal fitness regimen. It all starts with what you put in your body. Certain foods can help yield specific fitness goals—Gym Jones recommends a macro (a.k.a macronutrients) diet for muscle building.
WHAT MAKES MACROS VALUABLE?
Counting macros offers diet flexibility—you have the opportunity to establish the right dietary balance based on your body and personal fitness goals.
WHAT ARE MACROS (MACRONUTRIENTS)?
CARBS
Primary fuel for the body. Carbs include sugars, starches, & fibers.
1 gram of carbs = 4 calories
FATS
Source of energy for the body. Fat can be found in oils, nuts, and some meats & fish.
1 gram of fat = 9 calories
PROTEINS
Primary food source for building tissue, hormones, & enzymes. Protein can be found in fish, poultry, eggs, and meat.
1 gram of protein = 4 calories
