    I watched this 5 mos ago and randomly popped up on my yt feed again. And this time I listened harder even though I get info overload from kristi sometimes and boom it totally made sense that just weighing the jar or whatever container you have totally made sense as to getting a bowl for every ingredient or food you’ll be having. Thanks kristi hope to be part of your team one day!

    OMG! I finally get what you were trying to tell us in the video that I watched last night! I couldn't understand when you were removing something from a jar and saying that that was the measurement that you wanted. Now, once you said "NEGATIVE" so many grams today I finally understood how that works! Thank you so much!

    Yeah, the nut butter mindless scooping comment is a huge deal. Never has a jar of nut butter lasted me SO long since I re-entered the world of macro-counting. One positive aspect is that I now buy the finest almond butter I can find (pricey!) because it does last so long as opposed to skimping on cheaper alternatives in the peanut butter family. Great stuff Kristi, keep the train rolling!

  • @elizabethriddle3216
    @elizabethriddle3216 7 місяців тому

    Need help with this: my husband just started counting macros. Well, I do the counting he just does the eating. The problem is that I'm cooking for him, myself and our 3 kids. If I was just cooking and he was eating the entire thing it would be easy to count. But I'm cooking a large amount and then taking his portion out. When is multiple things mixed together, I'm unsure of how much of each thing he's actually consuming. If that makes sense. I feel like the only way to be accurate is to cook the entire meal separately separately for him and everyone else. But then that's twice the work, twice the dishes. You have a lot of great tricks up your sleeve from what I've seen. Maybe you have a solution.

    @Myriamverbeeren 4 місяці тому

    My biggest problem with macros is not weighing the food, it’s combining foods to find the macrobalance I need. I feel when there’s too many carbs and I take food out of the recipe then I also take protein out of it again… food is not just carbs or just protein or fat. And then the calories don’t add up anymore #ughhhh

    How do you do this when you make a homemade soup? Which has many things in it. Such as bone broth, chicken, vegetables. But you can't count these individually as your eating it maybe as leftover the next day.

    • @Kristi-Eramo-OConnell
      @Kristi-Eramo-OConnell  Рік тому +1

      Hi, there is a way to do it but you do have to plan ahead/ It is slightly complicated. You would have to add up everything you put into your soup, then determine what you want a serving to be. For example say 1 cup is a serving. You would then figure out how many total cups are in that entire soup and divide the number of cups by all the total carbs, proteins and fats you added into the soup when you added up everything you put into it... I know it sounds confusing. We can maybe make a video on it soon!

The other plans I’ve done are ok but this is a little more strict which is what I think I need to cut some body fat and gain more muscle. How to I determine what foods are the correct to eat? ie:protein,carb,fat
    Also you mentioned in one of your videos that you measure fats in oz? Not sure all on grams or not. Been watching you off sense Covid with you garage box you built with you husband. I would like to find a way to strict my diet up more. Any way you can help? If so it would be great to write you somehow to figure something out for my body type. I don’t mind if there is a fee, I understand.
