Online Macro Calculators and Why You Need a Nutrition Coach

By

One of the most common questions I receive from prospective clients is: “Why do I need a nutrition coach when I can just use a free online macro calculator?”

While there are a dime-a-dozen free calculators out there, they only take into account a few variables and then output numbers – they do not account for the whole picture, and there’s a reason why no one finds long-term success with just an online calculator.

I mean, think about it. You would hire a coach or a personal trainer to help you improve your fitness, so it doesn’t make sense that you wouldn’t do the same with your diet, which is arguably the much harder part? Macro calculators only do the first part of the work – a coach takes it above and beyond, taking into account what an online calculator has no way of doing. How much sleep are you getting? Are you training for an endurance event? What’s your alcohol intake? Do your workouts leave you feeling energized or fatigued? Macros are just one part of the equation. It’s knowing these lifestyle factors and adjusting macros accordingly that can make all the difference!

Simply put, a nutrition coach can help you make changes based on what’s working and what’s not working. A macro calculator can give two different people the same set of numbers, but each of them may respond differently. For example, some people thrive on a higher carb diet while others feel great eating higher fat. Working with a nutrition coach ensures that your numbers don’t have to remain stagnant – they can be adjusted accordingly, which takes so much of the anxiety and guesswork out of it!

Lastly, a nutrition coach holds you accountable! Yeehaw! Just like you are more likely to stick to a workout plan if you have a buddy or trainer, you are more likely to stick with a nutrition plan if you have someone to check-in with, answer questions, and encourage you all along the way. 

And if you’re someone like me, who generally knows what to do when it comes to healthy eating, but needs the extra accountability, we have an awesome group starting the Master Your Macros Challenge on Monday, January 7th. You have the choice of a 4- or 8-week plan with a coach, and its purpose is to TEACH you about macros, so you can take what you learn and implement it into your life for long-term results. I like to say, it’s the last “diet” you’ll ever try! 🙂 The deadline to sign up is December 31st, so make sure you’re on the list!

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
