Just want to thank you. My eating habits (unconscious grazer and a dude bad with portions here, lol) have been one of my biggest struggles and I think the linchpin of change I've been fighting against for years. I started asking my wife questions because she has been hitting many of her goals and she started pointing me toward content like yours and some of your videos and wow, im jist beginning to realize jist how much I didn't know. My goal is not to calorie count but instead to hit the right mix of nutrients I need to turn the exercise I do into the body composition I want. And even here at the beginning I'm realizing just how badly I've been balancing carbs and protein. I look forward to your information adding to the tools I use and jist wanted tonsay thank you!

What about foods that don-t have a label on them, like fresh fruit? I eat a lot of fruit and count calories but even thats frustrating with fresh fruit because many times you get varied answers on how many calories are in the fruit based on the size or even the website you use. The info will say - for a medium apple it-s X calories-, for a large apple it-s - Y calories-. Or some sites tell you for a -2 in diameter- size it-s this many calories. I will measure my portions and count calories but I-m not about to start carrying around a damn tape measure with me. So how do you count macros with stuff like that, or pre packaged ground beef that doesn-t have a nutrition label on it?

Hi. I'm 52, male, and I truly want to shrink the subcutaneous belly fat, to fit comfortably in a size 36 pant. I was able to shrink down the visceral belly fat around my waist. I am active with housecleaning, trips to the supermarket, daily walks, and stretching. I use hills to walk on several days a week. I have abstained from any upper body exercises because of an injury and fatigue in my shoulders. Protein is my main source of food; however, I do not consume any protein calories from shakes or drinks. What portion of macros would you recommend? Thank you for your time.

I totally agree that tracking macros can be frustrating, and it-s best to tweak a little at a time. I tried to jump right in to a 40% protein ratio and was completely unprepared for how hard it is to get protein up that high! In fact I still usually can only get to 20% even eating good protein sources in every meal. I pretty much think getting 40% of your macros from protein has to be a myth. No idea how anyone does it!

Your dramatizations are hilarious. lol I made mistake #2 when I first tried tracking my macros. I quick out of frustration like you mention. The second time around I totally focused on protein first and, you're right, it was so much more manageable! Now I'm able to hit all my macros almost consistently. So thankful for the information you put out.

So hard to get enough protein. Meat is so filling I can't eat enough and other things like nuts are high in fat so it makes my fat macro too high. I can't eat dairy and quinoa gives me horrible stomach pain, eating more then small amounts of beans a few times a week also seems to both me. It's been a big struggle

I-m going through the menopause. I would love some more info on achieving goals on this. What macros are best? I tried squats and lunges but I increased in size even more. I-m putting weight on without changing anything around hips, gluten and abs. Does HRT help?

How do we track foods that we do not know the nutrition info? Like foods that we don't make ourselves and those that do not come with nutrition info? Are we supposed to be super strict and decline foods offered to us if we dont know what's in them?

How do you count meatballs from 80/20 ground beef and spices if most of the fat stays in the pan and is not eaten?
What macros do you recommend for premenopause?
Thanks for your help. Very inspiring!
