One of the most frequently asked questions we get from our clients is, “What foods contain what macros?” And that’s a GREAT question, so we’ve decided to create a macro cheat sheet.
“Single-source macro” is a term used for foods that have only ONE of the three macros: protein, carbohydrates or fats. Having a list of foods to turn to when you have only one macro you need to fill is extremely helpful because you don’t want to go over your other macros by accident! For example, if you only have protein left at the end of your day, a steak wouldn’t be a good option because it also contains fat. In this scenario, egg whites would be a great choice!
Building meals with single-source and two-source macros makes it easier to track more accurately. Our macro cheat sheet (download below) has been a handy tool for many of our clients. It lists single-source and two-source macros that you can mix and match to ensure you hit your macros.
