Do you know what a \u201cmacro cap\u201d is?\u2063
\u2063
A macro cap is a mini meal that you can dial up and down protein, fat and carbohydrate ingredients without compromising the dish. \u2063
\u2063
You know when you\u2019re just about 150-300 calories short of your goal and you\u2019ve got a random number of PFCs to round out your day? The meal that you make to meet the last of your targets is a \u201cmacro cap\u201d. \u2063
\u2063
I bet you\u2019re already doing this – but you didn\u2019t have a name for it. Or maybe, you just needed some more ideas, so keep reading to get some more!\u00a0
\u2063
In these examples you’ll find mini meals that contain a combination of protein + fat + carbohydrate rich foods. and, depending on how much of each macro you need to round our your day, you can easily adjust the P, F, or C ingredient to fit.\u2063
\u2063
For example: you\u2019re short by protein and fat, but have a lot of catching up to do on carbohydrate targets. You might eat couple of hard boiled eggs (protein + fat) and pair with banana and honey (carb) to round out your day. \u2063
\u2063
You might choose fat free cottage cheese + a couple of clementines if you only have a bit of protein and carbs till you hit your targets. alternatively, I love a peanut butter + rice cake combination when I need to play catch up on fats and carbs. \u2063
\u2063
See how that works? It helps to start with a list of your favorite snacks – adjust the PFC parts to fit your needs. \u2063<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
