Calories vs Macros: Which actually matters more for fat loss?

Here’s the truth every busy dad needs to hear:

👉 Calories are the foundation.

👉 Macros are the optimization.

You can’t “out-macro” a calorie surplus. Eat too much, and you’ll gain weight—no matter how perfect your protein/carb/fat split looks.

✅ Step 1: Nail your calorie deficit (this is 80% of fat loss).

✅ Step 2: Dial in protein (0.8–1.2g per pound goal bodyweight).

✅ Step 3: Fine-tune carbs and fats for energy + performance.

Stop stressing about the perfect macro ratio. Start focusing on the thing that actually moves the needle: consistency in a deficit.
