The Energetically Efficient Show

Macros 101

Kristin Rowell

In this episode of the Energetically Efficient Show, I am breaking down one of the most misunderstood topics in nutrition: macronutrients. If you’ve ever wondered how to build meals that support fat loss, balanced blood sugar, and lasting energy without counting every calorie—this is your crash course.

Tune in to hear:

  • What macronutrients really are and why they matter
  • How to build meals that keep you full and energized for hours
  • Why protein is the most satiating macronutrient and how much you should be eating
  • The best bioavailable protein sources for optimal results
  • Why healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, and coconut oil are essential for hormone balance
  • How to choose carbs that provide volume and fiber without blood sugar crashes
  • Why that “healthy” American breakfast may be sabotaging your energy
  • How Kristen uses tools like Chronometer and continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) to track and optimize her nutrition

Resources mentioned:
