Re: new to macro

Heather, there are many following the protein fad. In reality, your body does not need or want that much protein. Plant foods provide high quality protein, all that we need. even broccoli, not a high protein food, contains 11 per-cent protein. If 11 percent of our diet was protein, we would be fine. The macro diet provides plenty of protein.
What these other diets have that you do not need is refined carbs, animal food, etc. which contributes to diabetes, hert problems, etc. Preparing macro meals is easy. To start, get a pressure cooker, and buy some simple books on macro cooking.

Remember, the skinniest people on the planet eat plenty of unrefined carbs. A high starch diet is recommended by others outside of the macro movement, like Dr. McDoughal, who knows what he is talking about. Good luck!
