protein/ Carbs/ Fats

THE PLAN:

  1. Freedom to eat what you want within your calorie constraint. (More details to come).
  2. Find your daily calories using our formula below.
  3. Track your calories and macros with myFitness Pal App.
  4. 30-Day Kick Start – No Alcohol & No Processed Sugar.
  5. Fast for 24 hours, one day a week. 
 

THE FORMULA:


Depending on your goals, whether to lose weight, maintain, or gain weight we have a formula to help you get there.

3 steps to calculate your personal Macros for weight loss or weight gain, depending on what you want!

 

  1. For weight loss, multiply body weight by 12-14x depending on how aggressive you want to be. 16x for maintenance, 18x for weight gain. This is your caloric total for the day.

 

  1. Eat 1g of protein per pound of body weight per day during weight loss. 0.7g/lb during weight gain.

 

  1. Fill in the remaining calories with healthy fats or carbohydrates.

 

*Remember:

1g of protein = 4kcal

1g of carbohydrate = 4kcal

1g of fat = 9kcal

 

This is completely proven. Total calories and protein are set. Remember calories become a preference thing or based on the purpose of training.

 

For example, If you weigh 170.

  • 170×14=2,380 (slow weight loss)
  • 170g of protein/day =680cal
  • 2,380-680=1,700 remaining calories to do what you want with (carbs/fats).
 

If you stick with your personal caloric intake and measure your Macros each day, you will hit your goal by the end of the 90!

 

WHAT THE HECK ARE MACROS?

 

*Macronutrient is a bucket term for the three types of nutrients that make up the bulk of what we eat: carbohydrates, fat and protein. Our bodies require an ample amount of each to function properly.

 

Whether you’re using macros to drive your food choices or just trying to eat a balanced diet, it’s good to know which foods contain more of which macros.

  • High-carb, low-protein: fruits and vegetables
  • High-carb, low-fat: pasta, rice, cereal, bread, legumes, fruits, vegetables
  • High-fat, low-carb: nuts, seeds, olive oil, cheese
  • High-fat, low-protein: avocado, olive oil, coconut milk
  • High-protein, low-carb: eggs, meat, fish
  • High-protein, low-fat: nonfat Greek yogurt, cottage or cream cheese, turkey or chicken breast, lean ground beef, whey protein powder                                                           *sourced from myFitnessPal

TYPES OF FOODS TO FOCUS ON:

  • Fruits: apples, bananas, berries, oranges, peaches, pears, etc.
  • Veggies: Broccoli, cauliflower, cucumbers, leafy greens, tomatoes, etc.
  • Whole grains: Quinoa, rice, oats, barley, buckwheat, etc.
  • Healthy fats: Olive oil and avocados
  • Sources of protein: Meat, poultry, fish, legumes, eggs, nuts, seeds, etc.
  • Drinking calorie-free beverages like water and unsweetened tea and coffee, even while fasting, can also help control your appetite while keeping you hydrated.

You are in control of your cravings, your cravings do not control you.

 

We will dive deeper into the diet. Be on the lookout in your inboxes.

Bookclub & Journal

Read SHORTCUTS & journal the questions

Finding your dream job. Discovering your purpose and passion. Achieving success and mastery in your field. Building healthy work-life balance. Experiencing fulfillment in all areas of life.

 

These are all worthy desires to pursue, but not only do we lack a roadmap to make these things happen, the world pressures us to skip the line and use the latest “hacks” to reach these goals. Yet most of the time when we go looking for shortcuts, it makes things harder in the long term.

 

Over the course of the next 13 weeks, you will receive weekly emails guiding us along with the reading for the week. Lastly, we will have questions to dive deeper into what we are after together.

WAIVER OF LIABILITY

Assumption of the Risk: I am aware that there are significant risks involved in all aspects of physical training.  I understand that the reaction of the heart, lungs and vascular system to exercise cannot always be predicted with accuracy.  I understand that there is a risk of certain abnormal changes occurring during or following exercise, which may include abnormalities of blood pressure or heart rate; chest, arm, or leg discomfort;  transient light-headedness or fainting; and in rare instances, heart attack, stroke, or even death.  I should look for any signs out of the ordinary,  including but not limited to excessive soreness, darkened urine, and pain in the kidney areas in the days following a workout. While this type of injury is very rare, it can occur due to many factors that may be beyond the control of PURSUIT/ Garden Church. I understand that the programs and classes offered by PURSUIT are of a nature and kind that are extremely strenuous and can/may push me to the limits of my physical ability.  These risks include, but are not limited to falls which can result in serious injury or death, injury or death due to negligence on the part of myself or other people around me, injury or death due to improper use or failure of equipment.  I am aware that any of these above-mentioned risks may result in serious injury or death to myself and/or others.
