Description

Ever feel overwhelmed by nutrition advice—especially when it comes to macros? This episode of vpod.ai's Deep Dive simplifies the science and clears the confusion around protein, carbohydrates, and fats—how they work, how to track them, and whether it’s even worth your time.

🥗 What you’ll learn:

  • What macronutrients actually do inside your body
  • Why protein’s thermic effect can support weight management
  • How carbs really affect energy and fat storage
  • What fats do beyond “calories”
  • The most common mistakes in macro tracking (and how to fix them)
  • A practical breakdown of how to calculate and balance your macros
  • When macro tracking might help—or harm—your long-term health goals

We also unpack whether counting macros is right for you, the mental trade-offs, and how to use this approach as a short-term tool—or skip it altogether in favor of mindful, nutrient-dense eating.
