Macro dieting vs. Micro Macro dieting is a calculation based upon your weight that determines your caloric needs. Depending on the nutritionist they will then tell you how much of your intake should be protein, carbs, and fats. These numbers are then manipulated over time.

So to eat any food that may be stripped of nutrients just cause it fits in your macros can cause a vitamine and mineral deficiency (weak immine system) Micro nutrient diets focus on variety in fruits and vetables with the added supplementation of minerals that are no longer inherent in our food. This allows for lower caloric intake and reduced the risk of many disease. Calories are derived mainly from healthy fats suchs as CLA and omega 3,6,and 9.
