Hi guys, on today topic I will discuss about Calories and Macros. To be fair, when starting of trying to implement a clean diet you don't have to be so grid in terms of calculating everything to the gram.
I had to say that the most important thing is to keep calories at the level you need. Find your maintenance level deduct 300-500 if you are trying to lose weight and add 300-500 if you want to gain weight. If you are consistent you should see sufficient progress.
When you hit a plateau is when you had probably need to start getting more detailed maybe by counting macros. I had say aim 1-1.3g of protein per pound of body weight, 25% of your calorie goal on fat and the remaining carbs. MyfitnessPal is an amazing app that will make your life much easier. Available on Apps store and Google Playstore.
In all honestly, you be able to reach your goals by eating anything you want (even junk) provided you stay within your calorie goals but definitely would advise to stick to nutrient rich and clean foods to yield the most benefits.
