Iron Sights #196 - How To Dial In Your Macros For Summer: Protein, Carbs & Fats
Back in the studio today with another episode of the Iron Sights Podcast. This time, I’m joined by Steven and CeCe—Ryan’s out, but we’re diving into a topic that comes up constantly in our world: macro prescriptions.
With warmer months here and people dialing in their nutrition and training, it made sense to revisit the macros conversation. How much protein should you really be eating? What about carbs and fats? What’s too much, what’s not enough, and how do you even come up with those numbers in the first place?
We’re breaking down common questions we get as coaches and giving you a framework to think through your own nutrition, especially if you’re trying to lean out, bulk up, or just stay consistent. Whether you’re new to macros or just need a refresher, we’ve got practical tips and a few free resources that’ll help you make sense of it all.
