In this video, we’re going to talk about macros and how to visualize your plate instead of counting calories.

The three macronutrients are proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.

Most foods are not 100% one macro—they often contain multiple macros.

Let’s start breaking down your meal plate.

You want the majority of your carbohydrates to come from vegetables. The average person needs at least 7 cups/servings of vegetables every day.

One cup of vegetables is roughly a fist full of salad. If you’re consuming more dense vegetables—broccoli, cauliflower, bell peppers, carrots—then you only need about 3.5 cups/servings per day.

You can also include a small number of berries in your diet, which count as carbohydrates.

Olives, hummus, and avocados are a combination of carbohydrates and fats.

Fats and proteins are often combined.

The fattiest proteins are the best to consume on a healthy keto diet. Avoid all low-fat proteins and do not trim the fat off of full-fat meats.

3-5 oz of protein per meal is ideal. For men, this is 1-2 pieces of protein that are about the size of the palm of your hand. For women, about 1 palm worth of protein. This would be similar to 2-4 eggs, one handful of nuts, 2 thumb-sized pieces of cheese, or 1-2 thumb-sized servings of nut butter.
