New to Macros? The Best Customized Macronutrient Starter Packet

If you have been searching for information on weight loss or body composition change, you have probably heard about macros or macronutrients. It might seem difficult at first to digest all the information you find about macronutrients, but trust me, it is not as hard as you may think.

You’ve tried calculator after calculator and have gotten completely different results. You don’t know if you should lose weight, gain muscle or land somewhere in between.

Your macro targets are as unique as you. So, why settle for an impersonal nutrition calculator?

You wish you could talk to someone about a nuanced situation before getting your macro targets. That’s why you need living, breathing coach with expertise in all things macros.

2 Easy Steps to Get Started

  • Fill out the questionnaire. Remember: this is a CUSTOMIZED plan! The more information that you provide, the better I’ll be able to customize your macros to suit YOUR body, YOUR eating habits, and YOUR lifestyle! You will receive macro targets that actually make sense, and will be easy to hit on the daily. So don’t be afraid to get down to the nitty-gritty! Your information is kept private!
  • Once I receive the questionnaire and the one-time payment of $145.00 (the checkout link is provided in the confirmation notice that you’ll receive when you submit the questionnaire), you will receive your starter packet within 48 business hours (usually sooner).

Enjoying how you eat is the first step to achieving results!

Repeat after me…

My macros should fit ME. I shouldn’t have to fit MY macros.

Your Investment Includes the Following:

  • Total calorie goals and macronutrient gram goals​: Using your biometrics, health history, activity level, food preferences (Plant Based & Vegetarian included) and more, we’ll create a “best fit” macro prescription for you.
  • Justification For Your Macro Targets​: We’re all more likely to follow through with advice when we understand the reasoning, so I will walk you through how I determined your targets based on the background you provided.
  • Next Steps And Expectations​: Banish uncertainty about how long to follow macro targets, how to measure progress and how to adjust when the unexpected happens to your routine. These will all be addressed in detail in your packet so you can move forward in confidence.

If you have questions, you are able to schedule a one-time video appointment with me for an additional fee.

3 Reasons to Get Custom Macros Instead of Generic Ones

1. You Prefer Plant-Based Eats.​
Wouldn’t it be nice if the calculator knew that before spitting out an impossible protein to carbohydrate ratio? That won’t happen here, meaning you don’t have to choke down chalky protein powder just to hit some target.

2. You’re breastfeeding and getting back into regular exercise after giving birth.
We’re all more likely to follow through with advice when we understand the reasoning, so I will walk you through how I determined your targets based on the background you provided.​

3. You’re not sure if you wanna be leaner or stronger or both. (Yeah, that’s possible!)
You’re stuck between wanting to see definition in your arms and wanting to string together pull-ups. We don’t want your strength progress to stop just to hit a specific scale weight. ​

FAQs About Your Customized Macronutrient Starter Packet

Your custom macro calculation will come by email from empower-fitness.net. Be sure to add empower-fitness.net to your email's Safe List. This purchase does not include virtual or telephone consults.
The Custom Macro Calculation is a one-time calculation and does not come with follow-up consults, whereas one-on-one coaching is highly individualized. Coaching cycles are three months in length and include: review and feedback on your current habits, health assessments and food diary reviews, individualized plan development, virtual consultations, video check-ins, plan evolution and adjustments according to your goals, weekly support, accountability and questions as needed by messenger app.
The goal is always to be eating as much food as possible while seeing changes in your body shape or size. If you are not able to be as physically active as you typically are for an extended period of time (12 weeks or more), you may choose to increase your NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis). NEAT is all the activity that falls outside of formal exercise like walking, standing, and generally moving around throughout the day. Often, by increasing non-exercise activity, you are able to continue to see the intended changes you’d like to see in your body despite being less physically active through formal exercise. I do not recommend cutting calories or macros when you are temporarily less active than you typically are.
No change in macros is typically needed if you get sick or injured, or undergo surgery. Your main priority in these circumstances should be to eat an abundance of whole foods to support your metabolism and heal properly. It is best to follow your macro prescription as normal.
Absolutely! Having a personalized-to-you set of macro targets to start out with when you first start tracking will reduce most of the frustration and challenges that come with being new to tracking. There are also several “how to” guides for tracking macros available online, or consider reviewing some of my ARTICLES as as well for getting started.
The custom macro calculation is not a meal plan service. I will not recommend specific foods or meals that you should be eating on a regular basis. You are encouraged to find foods that you enjoy and fit them into your prescribed macro goals. General macro meal planning resources will accompany the email with your custom macro calculation in the form of blogs and printable documents.
