Tracking Macros for Weight Loss: Is It Worth It?
If you're trying to lose weight, you’ve probably heard about tracking macros—proteins, carbs, and fats—but is it really necessary for weight loss?

As we age, muscle loss becomes a natural process, so it’s important to prioritize enough protein in your diet, especially during weight loss. If you’re aiming to stay strong and active as you age, ensuring adequate protein intake—combined with resistance training—will help you retain muscle and avoid unnecessary loss.
Tracking macros may not be necessary, but focusing on your protein intake is.
