This is great,encouraging and a good reminder that it is a process and a skill that needs to be learned and practiced, fail, learn, proceed
out of all of the videos I have watched on this subject Kristi explains it all THE BEST👌🏽clear simple and easily understood each time
Thanks guys
Between daily IBEX training, your educational RUclips videos on nutrition and exercise technique, and overall inspiration from your running and CrossFit legacy… you’ve unknowingly become my full time personal trainer. 😊
haha well we appreciate that! and we love having you on the team!!😁✌️
This video is so helpful! I’ve been hearing a lot about macros, but wasn’t sure where to start. Your breakdown of protein, carbs, and fats really helped clarify things for me. Can’t wait to start tracking my macros
Super helpful advice Kristi, Thank you!
This is a really great guide. Thank you Kristi. I also. like the 1st Phorm app and how personalized it is.
This is by far the best and most helpful way anyone has explained how to approach Marco dieting.
I was looking for a video to help with Macro Accounting and yours came up. I'm glad it did you explained this very well and a way it could be understandable. Great job, Thank you
Fantastic explanations!! OMG i did my calculations 1557Cal..wowww i never had that much. and now with the macro counting, can't wait to see how it comes out.thank you
You guys truly put out amazing content. Love your channel
THANK YOU! We truly appreciate this comment so much!! Have an awesome week!
totally agree!
Wow! Kristi you are amazing and outstanding as other comments mentioned. Your passion and time out of your schedule is appreciated and thanks dear for your hardwork and video.
Great explanation!
You were recommended on a (Beach) BODI group I follow....I am so glad I took the time to watch (and learn)! Thank you for sharing your knowledge so that it makes sense and is easy to understand!!
We should be paying for this content. Outstanding 🌟
Thank you very much 🙏 I’m that kind of person that always tried to do things right , but didn’t know how. I’m also a person that can’t pay a personal trainer 😕 Buy with information like this one, makes it easier and possible to do it!🙏
Super great!! I’m a trainer and this is so easy to share with my group. Thank you so much for doing this video!
thank you this was really helpful
I have a better understanding of portions and quality of calories after having watched some of your other long-form videos on tracking macronutrients.
This is helpful. I have been getting a lot of ab cramps simply when I cough or sneeze and in my quads when I ran in a competition. Would love to hear if youbhave any suggestions to help with this
I love this channel thanks for breaking this down
May I use this video as a source in a class I’m teaching to my platoon please
Wow! It is overwhelming, but i had a cousin that did similar to what your saying and got very good results.
I'm really learning a lot from you guys lately. The single leg exercises for runners have been a game changer for me.
Question: when you and Pat plan your meals, are both of your macro splits similar enough that you can prepare the same meals and adjust portions accordingly?
This comment means so much! Thank you!!! We are so happy you have found value in our content!! We both focus on building our meals around lean protein , the filling in carbs and fats. You nailed it, our splits are similar enough but he just needsMORE of everything than I do. Our meals are always very very similar just portions look diff! This also helps us keep each other accountable!! We love it!
Extremely informational and easy to digest. Thank you so much!
This was really helpful! I got my macros, but now I feel like I’m having hard time translating those numbers to meals.
Just watched one of your videos regarding macro counting and found it very helpful. I've made a rough calculation based on my current status and was wondering if I could hear your opinion(s) regarding cookbooks. Do you find them accurate? Is it flawed? Close enough to its claim(s) regarding the nutritional values?
Awesome teaching.
Ok! I think i get it, but one question comes to mind, i do alot of fast food( on the road alot). Why do ihear that their food is nutrient deficient what exactly are some of us eating in a macro sense? Thank u
When figuring our your macros, do you go by your current weight or goal weight?
VERY GOOD! EXCELLENT!!!!
Thank you so much dear. i learnt a lot. Do you recommend protein and fat burning supplements prior to pregnancy?
I’ve been tracking macros for almost three years and find it to be little to no problem to track on a daily basis after the first month adjustment. I thought about protein thresholds as well as protein activation and which meal(s) have proven to be most effective in gaining muscle and losing fat while listening. Maybe a more in depth video? 😊
Thank you! 🫶🏼
Wow, you are good!
Totally agree
Teach me about that! 🤯
Thank You!
what app do you recommend I could not understand.
What app do you use?
watching as replay
I can’t find the app you recommended. What is the correct spelling
1stPhorm App 👇
www.1stphorm.app/Kristi
There are tons on the market also... Cronometer , Myfitness Pal , My Macro Plus and more!
People are interested in percentages for macros. That’s what apps track. Maybe you could focus on that in a future macro video.
Or has a mother 😂
You might want to edit your thumb nail… you have written calories instead of fats
Is the thumbnail trolling? Calories measured in grams...?
Please slow down. Geez
I hope you can re record this speaking at a normal rate,
HA, when I am excited to share things, I can talk fast at times! I think you can slow it down 😉 if you want to watch it again!
I personally don't find her to be talking too quickly. But if you do, you can click on the gear icon, then go to playback speed and you can choose .75 or .5
