MACRONUTRIENTS- PART 2



We have discussed the important role of macronutrients in our healthy being. "What you eat is what you are" defines a big role of your right diet. Today's article focusses on getting our healthy eating pattern in action, then building our bodies and then getting it into a magnificent shape (ripped) and lose unwanted fat.

Thumb rule:


  • In order to maintain weight you have to burn the same amount of calories as much you consume, giving you a direction of your current standing. the next step to this is whether you want to build muscles or lose weight. its called calorie maintenance
  • In order to build muscle the rule is simple you ought to eat more than you burn. here the most important thing to remember is not to consume more calories too fast or else you will get fat fast, the smart progression is the key, with your realistic goal. This is called calorie surplus.
  • The most important phase is to get ripped. again smart progression is required as you don't want to do anything in hurry, or it will back fire. you have to burn more calories than you consume, your fat storage starts being used by body when needed, but if done too fast your muscle tissues could deplete, not what we want. Smart progression meal plan is required so that you don't spoil your hard work.
