Description: Macros 1 - Marcos, Calories, & Nutrition

Poorly explained, was not easy to understand in between all ‘ehmm’,

Roberta

I understand macros equal protein, carbs, fats now but not too much else. What combo is right for me? How do you figure that part out?

Heather

Lovely! I'm sure this is the holy grail. Ready to implement into my diet 👍

Chrys

I wasn’t gaining any weight but I wasn’t loosing any. I started to think I just “couldn’t” loose any weight, but after learning from Mel what macros were and how they function I was able to loose a pound immediately! No more excuses, just do the work!

Hillary

Definitely learn something new from this! Very clear explanation of macros using those analogies!

Emma

Amazing feedback and so helpful!!
I’m so glad I’m part of the Fit gurl Me fam!!!!!

AminahLadyBarber

I found this really hard to follow. Maybe reshoot and edit so there is more flow and it’s easier to understand?

Shannon

Very drawn out and seems unorganized. I would prefer to get the facts straight to the point

Erin

Flow of speech can be better, otherwise it gets distracting

Aisha

Nataly

Funny, yet full of info. Keeping it real!

Elizabeth

This really needs a cleanup. 
The first ten minutes were muddled, confusing and it comes across as you not being familiar with this subject at all.

Sorcha

Deirdre

Micaela

HEALTH 😂 what is it? We shall find out

Taylor

Very informative! I know her program works🙂, so I'm excited to understand nutrition to make it work for me! I'm visual, so graphs, charts, pictures could drive certain points home. However, as a fellow instructor, I know it's not easy. Great job, and thanks for finally bringing your hard work and knowledge to us!

Nytosha

I like how the macros and micros was explained. I understood calories, protein, fat, carbs before but never tracked micros and macros. This made it easy to understand.

Christina

Lara

I want to be the people who “KNOW” what I’m putting on my body! Love that example!

Eileen

So helpful!!! I love how you said that calories = energy - that makes so much sense! ☀️💛

Becky

Natalia

Andreea

Denise

Definitely good to learn what micros and macros are definitely want to probably put it on a white board or make it on a computer or something to where it’s more visible

Brittany

It was actually explained really well, thank you! Loved the taxi driver comment

Learned a lot! Macros and micros and how they work hand in hand to achieve optimal health!

Mimi

I loved how you simplified it for us. Easy to understand, thanks.

Sandra

Great info! I really enjoyed the restaurant analogy and all of the analogies you used. Thanks!

Kirsten

Graphic aids instead of white board. 
White board not showing. 
I.e pie chart showing the division on macro 

- example of percentage distribution of macros for X female weighing X amount and having a goal of X

Sana

Loved the way you explained, I understood.

Karla

When Mel did the taxi driver driving motion with her hands I was cracking up. The delivery was a hesitant/choppy but I understood the message overall.

shari

Maybe more digital guidelines to access or templates

Macros 2 - Your Macros, Changes & Reverse Diet

I learned something new about reverse dieting

Loved this class! I love your honesty and spirit! I feel motivated after this lesson- like I can really enjoy food and use it to my benefit.

Very interesting. Love learning about how the body adapts to what we feed it.

Macros 3 - Tracking & Case Studies

A lot of great Info! I would always hire online coaches they would give me my meal plans and almost always my calories were so low 1200-1400 so I would loose 15lbs the most and not loose anymore. I would try to up my calories and I would gain the weight right back. I would get so discouraged.

Cristina Aleman

I appreciate your teaching style, informative and non judgmental. Thanks!

Tiffany

Macros 4 - Common Scenarios

Raven

Learning this before the next challenge. 😉

Jennifer

Very informative!! Thanks for  breaking the process down!!

Bonus: How to Weigh Your Food for Macros

That really helps a lot! I feel more relieved just knowing

Anita

Great to see how this plays out in real life. Feels achievable to know you can still enjoy your favs!

I like that you showed the variety of food you eat. I love that you said home girl doesn’t want to cook some nights which I literally lol’d because I’m a single mom and full time PhD student so yea, mama don’t want to cook sometimes! I’m going shopping soon so I’m excited to not feel bad about the things I’m going to get 👍🏽
