Legion Athletics Macro Calculator

In this podcast episode, Brad Williams, host of Over 40 Fitness Hacks, discusses the importance of tracking macros and calories for effective diet management. He introduces a macro calculator called Legion Athletics, expressing his preference for its simplicity and unique features. Brad emphasizes the need for occasional adjustments in one's diet based on changing activity levels and goals. He guides listeners through the calculator, highlighting factors such as gender, weight, height, age, and activity level. Brad also touches on goal selection, mentioning the trade-offs between rapid weight loss and muscle preservation.

The podcast delves into choosing a formula for calorie calculation, with Brad favoring the Mifflin formula. He explains the significance of dietary preferences, including balanced, low carb, high carb, high protein, ketogenic, or custom options. Brad shares his personal experience using the calculator, detailing how it recommended adjustments to his calorie and macronutrient intake based on his activity level and goals. He notes the importance of gradual changes and the need to assess results over a few weeks.

Additionally, Brad discusses his own diet, focusing on a ketogenic approach, and provides insights into adjusting protein, fat, and carbohydrate intake. He cautions against drastic calorie reductions and emphasizes the need for a balanced approach to avoid triggering the body's survival mode. Brad concludes by advising listeners to make small, sustainable tweaks to their diets and to consider factors like weekend indulgences when adjusting their nutrition plans.
