What happens if I only focus on calories and ignore macro targets?

</aside>

Eating under your calorie target can still lead to weight loss.

However, weight loss alone does not guarantee good body composition.

When macro balance is ignored, common outcomes include:

• Muscle loss instead of fat loss
• Flat or soft appearance
• Poor training performance
• Increased fatigue

Calories control how much weight you lose.

Macro ratios control what that weight is made of.
