Macro Friendly Recipes
Welcome to the Macro Recipes section of WholeLottaYum.com! Here, we're all about balancing the big three: proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.
Most of our high protein and macro friendly recipes have over 20 grams of protein per serving, many of which are considered high protein low carb recipes.
What are macros?
But what exactly are macros? Short for macronutrients, these are the nutrients our bodies need to give us fuel during day, they support muscle growth, repair tissues, and keep your body functioning at its best.
Tracking your macros isn't about counting caloriesโit's instead about eating meals with a great balance of micronutrients that come from the high quality sources to help you meet your health and fitness goals.
We're taking the hassle out of macro tracking for you and we've already done the work! Most of our recipes are at least 20 grams of protein each, low carb, and include a good amount of heart healthy fats.
Benefits of macro tracking
- building muscle (hello?! We start losing muscle after age 30!) - sinceย macro friendly meals are high protein, they help prevent muscle loss and help support muscle growth.
- helps to regulate blood sugar by eating smaller balanced meals throughout the day
- great for losing weight by keeping you full during the day
- helps promote a healthy relationship with food - no more obsessing over calories!
We're sharing our easy delicious recipes that make hitting your macro targets a breeze. From protein-packed breakfasts to meal prep lunches and high protein low carb dinners, we've got something for every taste and goal.
